Exporting data from an App

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hi Folks.

    I am working on an App which stores user data. I would like a way to export this data so the user can get a copy of it off the App and onto his computer. This could be in the form of an email, a spreadsheet, a document, a PDF file, whatever. Is this possible to do in MMF?

  • MMF does not support this built-in. You could use the iCloud Storage APIs (Please login to see this link.) or with iOS 4 use File Sharing by creating a custom extension for MMF. Another option is to simply push the data to RESTful web services using the GET Extension and make it possible to download them at a later time through a web portal.

  • Thanks. That's not an area I'm familiar with so I'll leave this feature out of the App. Would be nice if we could get the Email Object to work in iOS if possible.

  • Can someone point me to the Get Object? Doing a forum search for it turns up loads of posts because it's such a generic term.

    Here's an example I just threw together. You may need to download the non-ios get object here: Please login to see this link.

    It's a random insult generator... downloads the page from randominsults.net and parses out just the insult. :)

    its funny that this thread popped up after i was looking for examples of the GetObject last week :) its interesting to see but when looking at the code I have no idea of what i am looking at :P (its like blackmagic, i dont know how it works... but it does)

    I have a question, how do you get it to pick specific information? i mean for instance, if i wanted to take google weather for instance- how would i go about that? i know it has something to do with the xml file but no idea further than that :S

  • can you repost that example please? it's deleted.. or can someone provide me with a template of sorts on what to put in the php script? I have a MySQL database that I would like to use to store info from my app's users. it's semi-sensitive data. I have looked a while for info on this and there seems to be so many uses of it. so im not sure what to do.. this is seemingly the most relevant link to provide info on what i want to do.. Please login to see this link. ... is this along the right lines?

    if at all possible, someone who might be able to give step by step instructions on how to upload a piece of data to a column/row in sql from the get object (keep in mind im a total PHP/HTML novice obviously) would be greatly appreciated (not just by me, I'm sure) ..

    p.s. unless you search "get object" with quotes in the forum search bar, it automatically filters every word but "object".. odd? Just an observation.

    thanks again!
