I want to be able to design a storeCard that works as a punch card. Every time someone buys a bread one more punch will need to appear on his pass.
Should looks something similar to the design below.
The image withe the circles is strip#2x.png. What is the best way to update that? I am thinking to change the image with a new one every time I sent push notification and the pass gets an update. But from the documentation I am not sure if I can do that... from the documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/PassKit_PG/Updating.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012195-CH5-SW1
To send the list of serial numbers, do the following:
Look at the registrations table, and determine which passes the device is registered for.
Look at the passes table, and determine which passes have changed since the given tag. Don’t include serial numbers of passes that the device didn’t register for. If no update tag is provided, return all the passes that the device is registered for. For example, you return all registered passes the very first time a device communicates with your server.
Compare the update tags for each pass that has changed and determine which one is the latest. Return the latest update tag to the device.
Respond with this list of serial numbers and the latest update tag in a JSON payload. For example:
{
"serialNumbers" : ["001", "020", "3019"],
"lastUpdated" : "1351981923"
}
How can I approach this? Do I try to update the whole pass every time when a new push message comes? Is that how the update is done or just some bits of the json file (pass.json) are changed? Is there more clever way to achieve this?

I have created a scenario where I iterate through multiple modules with an array of data. This works fine.
After this completes, I want to run a module once before the scenario completes.
How do I add a module that won't get called in the loop?
There are few ways to achieve this,
Use Router to Create a new Route that will be triggered after the
first route is complete
Trigger new Scenario via Webhooks after you are done with the
scenario
If you are working with array, then using Array Aggregator or other
Aggregators will allow you to first complete the iteration and then
trigger the module you want to use
I am not sure exactly what you want to do after the iteration is complete, but setting the scenarios as displayed in the screenshot below should help you get started on this,
Using Router
For this you can create a router, the upper hand of the router is always executed first, so the iterator and other operations will be done there. After which, the next hand/route will be executed which will be the module you want to trigger at last.
However, If you want to pass some values from the first hand/route to the last one then you will need to set a variable and fetch it on the second route. See details here : https://www.integromat.com/en/help/converger
Using Aggregator Module
You can either use Array, Text or Numeric Aggregator to aggregate all the iteration operations and then trigger the module that you want to use at last.
As far as my knowledge goes, there is no Integromat default modules that can be configured before the scenario ends. We can leverage the Integromat API in future that is currently in development to do so.
I found a filter to be the most easy way of doing this. Essentially chekcing if this bundle position is equal to the total number of bundles!
If you're interested in doing something on the last iteration only, you can use a filter to check if the current bundle is equal to the total number of bundles

Suppose I have a collection called 'books' and a page called "all books" in my app. Now let's say I want a little message to pop up in the top right that says "This list is outdated" every time there is an addition, deletion, or change in my 'books' collection. Is there any way to achieve this without having the listener send back all the documents in the 'books' collection each time there is a change? I only want to be notified when the data is outdated and nothing else.
If you know how to achieve this please let me know. I'm good with any language but a solution written in Swift will be preferred.
Thanks in advance!
Just add a field updatedon to your books document and set it to the current time when doing any write (on delete also then, you will have to find a way to hide deleted books).
And set a listener like this:
colref.where("updatedon", ">", new Date())
.orderBy("updatedon","desc")
.limit(1)
This way you are only billed 1 read every time.
It's not possible. A listener on a document or collection always receives the entire document that changed.
If you want a "lite" notification, you could try to use FCM to send a message to the client when a document of interest has changed, but then you'll have to keep a record on the backend of every interesting document for every user, check that list with every change using a Cloud Functions trigger, then notify each client of each interesting change. This is not at all the same as a listener, and would be a lot of work.
I'd like to know if there's a way to set a minimum number of copies to be printed via code, because I need a document to be printed by duplicate.
I read the documentation on Apple developers page but I couldn't find anything.
I know you can set the number of copies from the printer dialog, but I need the minimum to be 2 by default.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I tried this and it didn't work for me, at least in Xamarin.
There is nothing exposed via UIPrintInteractionController or its delegates that allows you to change/override the number of copies.
The way I approach this is to write my own UIController that defines the properties that the user is allowed to change and then use UIPrintInteractionController.PrintToPrinter to directly print the content.
Another approach is to disable the number of copies display:
UIPrintInteractionController.ShowsNumberOfCopies = false;
And then provide a two element array to PrintingItems vs. PrintingItem that just contains two copies of your print object.
Another approach just allow the user to select the printer via UIPrinterPickerController, save the UIPrinter to skip it in the future and then call PrintToPrinter twice.
I have an application that uses a combination of ContentService.Saved & ContentService.Saving to extend Umbraco to manage content.
I have two websites in one Umbraco installation I am using those methods to keep content up to date in different parts of the tree.
So far I have got everything working the way I wanted to.
Now I want to add a feature that: depending on which Umbraco User is logged in, will either publish the content or simply send it for approval.
So I have changed some lines of code from:
cs.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(savedNode, 0, false)
To this:
cs.SendToPublication(savedNode);
Now the problem that I am finding is that unlike the SaveAndPublishWithStatus() method, the cs.SendToPublication(); doesn't have the option of passing false so that a save event is not raised. So I get into an infinite loop.
When I attach the debugger and manually stop the infinite loop the first time it calls cs.SendToPublication(savedNode); I get exactly the behavior I want.
Any ideas about how I can get round this problem? Is there a different method that I should be using?
You are correct in saying that it currently isn't possible to set raiseEvents to false when sending an item to publication - that's a problem.
I've added that overload in v. 7.6 (http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-9490).
However considering that you need this now, an interim solution could be that you make sure your code is only run once when triggered by the .Saved / .Saving events.
One way to do this would be to check the last saved date (UpdateDate) in your code. If the content was saved within the last second of the current save operation, you know that this is a save event triggered by the save happening in SendToPublication action. Then you also know that the item has already been sent to publication and that this doesn't need to be done again - thereby preventing the endless loop from happening.
I currently creating an app where the users can add a posting without logging into the app or using any credentials.
Other users of the app can open the app and directly comment on the posts(the comments are an array of the post object).
I read the parse docs and I believe that this will use advance targeting. I saw PFInstallation.currentInstallation() for advanced targeting but I believe that is based on the users class and I am not using the Parse.com users class
What I would like to do is to send a push notification to the original poster when a comment is added to their post... So, I was wondering how I would go completing that?
Thanks!
It couldn't be easier,
Installation has a "user" column. Just make a query that matches the "user" of interest. So, your code will look something like this....
if ( .. comment made, need to send a push .. )
{
console.log(">>> 'comment' was added....");
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
query.equalTo('user', .. whoWroteThePost .. );
alert = "Wow! You have a new comment on a post you wrote!!!";
Parse.Push.send(
{
where:query,
data:{ alert: alert, badge: "Increment" }
});
return;
}
Note that you said ...
"What I would like to do is to send a push notification to the original poster when a comment is added to their post... "
In that sentence you speak of the "original poster". So, that's going to be a variable like originalPoster. So this line of code
query.equalTo('user', .. whoWroteThePost .. );
will be
query.equalTo('user', originalPoster );
Note that this is extremely common, and you can find endless examples on the web! Here's just one: example
Note that:
Parse's term "advanced targeting" is very confusing.
To phrase the same thought another way,
Parse's 'channels' are just silly, ignore them.
That is to say, simply ignore the "channels" nonsense, and just search on users. It's easier and less confusing than the channels business, which is just an extra field you have to fill-out al the time.
It's just one of those weird things about Parse.
I've never used the "non-advanced targeting" - it's stupid and pointless. And the "advanced" targeting is trivial to use: assuming you can write cloud code at all you can do "advanced" targeting. If you can write a query in cloud code, you can do "advanced" targeting.
Essentially,
query.equalTo('user', .. whoWroteThePost .. );
Note that, of course, you may have to first look up who wrote the post, and then from there you can make the query for the Push.
Note, in this process it makes:
no difference at all if the user is anonymous.
You can and should go ahead and send pushes, in the same way.
Advanced targeting is not done against users. It's just that is the easiest way to show an example.
You need to store the installation against the objects you want to push to. So in this case store the installation against the post. Then when the comment comes in you can send a notification to the installation connected to the post it relates to.
I think you are looking something called anonymous users. There is almost impossible to send notification without user's data. But, Parse.com provides something called anonymous users so that app users are not necessary to sign up in order to fully function something user related operations.
Then, you will need to store some information in order to find the target.
