Hi,

This is easily doable in brainCloud.

Just go to Design | Custom Config | Files in the Design Portal - and use the Global Files (formerly S3 service) to download the files to your app.

Hope that helps!

Hi Madalin,

Good question - but unfortunately you assessment is correct. We do not currently have a way (other than with the API Explorer) to via and/or send Chat messages via the Portal.

That said, we do have plans to implement a Chat Moderation portal. We're currently working on the scheduling of the work now - I expect it to start soon.

You'll find the item in our Roadmap here - https://portal.productboard.com/braincloud/1-braincloud-baas-roadmap/c/61-chat-moderation-portal?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share

Feel free to add your +1 to it!

Paul.

Hi Ali,

First of all - sorry for the slow response. I somehow missed this message.

The MultiSocialLeaderboard call is normally used to create Candy Crush-style maps - where you would normally show just the top player on each node of a map.

It's otherwise a pretty expensive call (as we're filtering/joining your friends list with multiple leaderboard lists) - so thus we restrict things to keep things fast and server utilization reasonable.

Do you have a use case that requires the larger leaderboard sizes - or maybe you were mistaking the intention of this call with another?

Anyway, hope that perspective helps!

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Claudiu,

It's possible to do this using cloud script... you just need to impersonate the other user...

Here's an example script that does this - caveat, it only returns the first page of user items.

Create the script, and set it's test parameters to:

{ "profileId": "www-xxx-yyy-zzzz-123456" }

(Note - you'll of course want to replace profileId with an id of a user that you want to test with.)

And here's the code...

var response = {}; // We need to impersonate another user to make this call var otherSession = bridge.getSessionForProfile( data.profileId ); var otherUserItemsProxy = bridge.getUserItemsServiceProxy( otherSession ); // Now, request the page of items from that proxy var context = { "pagination": { "rowsPerPage": 50, "pageNumber": 1 }, "searchCriteria": {}, "sortCriteria": { "createdAt": 1 } }; var includeDef = true; var itemResult = otherUserItemsProxy.getUserItemsPage( context, includeDef ); if (( itemResult.status == 200) && ( itemResult.data.results.count > 0 )) { response.items = itemResult.data.results.items; } else { response.items = []; } response;

For convenience I've attached an export of the script. You can import this script into your app from the Design | Cloud Code | Scripts screen.

Hope that helps!

Paul.

RetrieveAnotherUsersItems.ccjs

Hmm, I'm guessing that this is so that you as a developer have a warning that you may be mucking with an online user's data?

Sadly, unless the user is using RTT, the system doesn't deterministically know that a user is still online.

We do however know when the user last logged in - and that is shown on the User Summary page here (see capture).

You can further get an idea if a user is still online via the User Monitoring | Logs page...

Might be interesting to see if we could query the last session for the time of the last received request... though we'd need to somehow differentiate a real session from an API Explorer session... Hmm, some food for thought.

Hi,

One thing that you wont be able to do via api is managing users (list api), other than that almost everything is available with cloud script.

Hi,

This is very doable in brainCloud.

Check out the Tiers design note in this knowledge-base article:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

The maximum # of group members is controllable by our support team.

Just send a request to our support team, indicating the name and appId of the app, and what you'd like the max to be and why. (A short description of your use cases would be helpful - since we just need to review to see if we think there would be any performance gotchas).

We'll do a quick review and hopefully approve!

Cheers!

Paul.

This error has been since resolved.

A help article has been made on the groupType page: http://help.getbraincloud.com/en/articles/3272656-design-groups-group-types

If experience similar problems to this forum topic with our Unity library, ensure brainCloud has been added to a gameObject, and that gameObject is not disabled.

Just noticed this was never replied to!

To clarify - our new Users API was delivered in 4.3 late last year.

Cheers!

Paul.

@Paul-Winterhalder said in brainCloud 4.1 is officially released!:

Group Enhancements

Loving the summary data for groups. Made my life easier. Thank you, you guys rock!

Hi @bkmitchell ,

thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately our built-in relay server tech doesn't support what you need for Unity WebGL multiplayer.

Most brainCloud devs implementing your use case would integrate with Photon or Edgegap for their multiplayer for this reason. They both work well and work well with brainCloud!

[PS - This is an area of ongoing development for us though and we aim to fill this gap in the future. I can't comment on timelines for that though...]

Paul.

Hi. Yes, unless an adhoc tournament is scheduled to start immediately after one finishes, there will always be a "wait" version (version with no tournament) in between scheduled adhoc tournament versions.
And when it comes to the retained versions, we skip counting the wait versions.

Hi,

Unfortunately the answer is no on that one.

(For what it's worth, I'm not sure how we'd make that one work - since brainCloud allows you to link products across AppStores - not sure how we'd be able to establish those relationships in an import).

The good news is that brainCloud allows you to set up one list of products, with multiple price points, across all stores. And then, if you want to change prices (put things on sale, etc) - it's just a couple of quick clicks to do that across all the stores (the new prices would be instantly active).

So we recommend that devs initially configure both a "regular" and a "sale" price for all items.

There's definitely a bit of pain getting it initially configured - but it's well worth it in the long run.

Not the answer you were hoping for - but I hope it helps!

Paul.

@william Thanks a lot for your feedback and suggestions! It’s really helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Just a heads-up, our team is working on this bulk userItem feature.

Hmm, actually Eric, authentication only happens when called directly in brainCloud.

If you try calling an API and your app isn't authenticated, you'll receive an error - and generally would trigger authentication yourself as part of your error handling.

Does that make sense?

Paul.

[Hi. Apologies - but we only provide support in English.]

You can schedule a recurring daily cloud code script to run after the completion of your daily tournament. This script will use the GetGlobalLeaderboardPage method to retrieve the daily tournament winner's information and score, then post it to the monthly tournament using the PostTournamentScoreOnBehalfOf method.

Hi @LEE-JONG-GUN ,

Thanks for the feedback.

This is admittedly a tricky one.

The best route I've seen to handle it is to use our shared (i.e. parent-child) accounts feature - which involves using a parent app for the player account - and a child app for the character accounts.

Note that it does involve two live apps - but we can put your parent app on a special plan with no live fee (you just pay for API calls) - and there won't be a ton of API call from that app - cause 99% of all calls will be against the child app.

There is more info here - https://docs.braincloudservers.com/learn/key-concepts/authentication/shared-accounts/

I hope that helps!

Paul.
