LiveCode Forums.

I'm thinking of setting up a "cloud" for my next project (Still in my infancy with the first one) - Ideas is just popping into my head.

Just a bit of background on what I want to achieve. We have a hiring business and I want to set up a "database" of bookings.

I was thinking of doing the following: Have item numbers eg 001, 002 etc. - Then when I make a booking, I create a file, say for item 001 and add the date:

00112082013.txt and inside the txt file the details of the booking. The app must then sync with dropbox, so I can have it on my other devices as well.

Any comments, ideas, better ways to achieve this ??

Thanks,

Carel

Hi,
I believe RunRev is working on a Cloud/Database academy. If you backed the Kickstarter Campaign at a certain level you should receive this, if not I presume that I it will be made available for purchase along with all the other academies.

If this is just for yourself you may find it easier to make your own server setup on any HTTP server than to figure out the mechanics of the DropBox API.

With LiveCode Server, a simple POST command can be received to store the data, with GET used to obtain it.
