Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Alternative Login - After Login HELP!

    I am trying to set up facebook alternative login. What I need to happen is when someone logins using facebook, it looks to see if that user email address is in my system. If it is not there, then it needs to insert a row into four different tables and set the email address into the appropriate field. If that email address is in the system, then it just filter the appropriate fields based on that users session id. Below is the code I have in the after login event for alternative login. Can someone help me with the code?

    save_to_file("Succeeded: "+convert_type(e.loginSucceeded,"C")+" User: "+e.userId,"C:\loginevent.txt")

    if e.loginSucceeded
    dim CurrentUserName as c
    CurrentUserName = e.userid
    if CurrentUserName = ""
    Dim cn as sql::connection
    dim sqlCommand as c
    flag = cn.open("::name::databasename")
    flag = cn.execute(insert into tablename (emailfield) values (:e.userid))
    flag = cn.execute(insert into tablename)
    flag = cn.execute(insert into tablename)
    flag = cn.execute(insert into tablename)
    end if
    if CurrentUserName <> ""
    dim args as sql::Arguments
    args.set("emailfield",CurrentUserName)
    session.pvvid = sql_lookup("::name::databasename", "tablename", "emailfield = :emailfield","pvvid",args)
    if session.pvvid > 0
    args.set("PVVID", session.pvvid)
    session.emailfield = sql_lookup("::name::databasename", "tablename", "pvvid = :pvvid", "pvvid",args)
    end if
    end if
    end if

    e.url = page after login

    'To capture Last Login date and time
    '0: Initialize connections
    dim globalcn as sql::connection
    flag = globalcn.open("::name::database name")

    '1: Log entry into system
    dim sql as c
    dim args as sql::arguments
    args.add("CurrentUserName",a5ws_getcurrentuser()) 'Gets logged in user
    flag = globalcn.execute("UPDATE tablename SET LAST_LOGIN = getdate() where tablename = :CurrentUserName",args)
    flag = globalcn.Execute(sql, args)

    'x: Clean u
    globalcn.FreeResult()
    globalcn.Close()
    delete globalcn

    end function

    Re: Alternative Login - After Login HELP!

    What do you want us to look at?
    Do you get an error?
    What works and what doesn't?

    For starters, why do you open so many connections to the database. In this little bit of code you opened 4 connections and you never closed cn.
    So, every user will have their own table in the database?

      Re: Alternative Login - After Login HELP!

      It seems to work when someone logs in through facebook that has already registered in my system. However, if they are a new user, when they login through facebook, it doesn't insert the rows into the database tables that I need, and doesn't set the email address from facebook in the database table field that I need it to. Does this make sense?

        Also, no every user doesn't have their own table, just want to insert a row into 4 tables if a new user when logging in through Facebook.

          Re: Alternative Login - After Login HELP!

          Have the code below where I am trying to check to see if user is in my tables already and if they are not, then it adds rows to necessary tables. If user is already there, then it just logs in normally. However, this is not working. ANY HELP WITH CODE AND WHERE I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS WRONGLY?


          if e.loginSucceeded
          dim CurrentUserName as c
          dim CheckUserExist as c
          CurrentUserName = e.userid
          Dim cn as sql::connection
          dim sqlCommand as c
          flag = cn.open("::name::database")
          CheckUserExist = sql_lookup("::name::database", "table", "EMAIL = :e.userId","EMAIL",args)
          if CheckUserExist = ""
          flag = cn.execute(insert into table (email) values (:e.userid))
          flag = cn.execute(insert into table)
          flag = cn.execute(insert into table)
          flag = cn.execute(insert into table)
          end if
          if CurrentUserName <> ""
          dim args as sql::Arguments
          args.set("EMAIL",CurrentUserName)
          session.pvvid = sql_lookup("::name::database", "table", "EMAIL = :EMAIL","pvvid",args)
          if session.pvvid > 0
          args.set("PVVID", session.pvvid)
          session.EMAIL = sql_lookup("::name::database", "table", "pvvid = :pvvid", "pvvid",args)
          end if
          end if
          end if

          e.url = "http://"

          'To capture Last Login date and time
          '0: Initialize connections
          dim globalcn as sql::connection
          flag = globalcn.open("::name::database")

          '1: Log entry into system
          dim sql as c
          dim args as sql::arguments
          args.add("CurrentUserName",a5ws_getcurrentuser()) 'Gets logged in user
          flag = globalcn.execute("UPDATE table SET LAST_LOGIN = getdate() where email = :CurrentUserName",args)
          flag = globalcn.Execute(sql, args)

          globalcn.FreeResult()
          globalcn.Close()
          delete globalcn
