Sometimes i upload files to a website like attachments ..
The websites doesn't tell me where was the file uploaded
but it says yes it was uploaded
as im the uploader, is it possible to track the file location ?
whats the path of it in the website ?
Take stack overflow for example. If you upload an image as part of a question or answer, then the image is displayed on the screen when viewing the relevant item. If its being displayed in your browser, you can always find the URL by using your favorite web development toolkit.
So if you can access the resource in the browser, you have a url.
That doesn't necessarily translate into the exact location on the site's server, however. There is no way to know for sure where it is kept.
And if you upload something and it is never displayed back to you, there is no way to know.
Whether or not you have the right to know is a different matter entirely. It probably depends on the site's EULA. But as an opinion, noone forces you to upload anything. If you choose to do so, I think you give up the right to know where they put your contribution.

I need to add unlockables to my application, but the problem is that I don't want to have to send out an update every time that I want to add something new. I have read a bit about servers and JSON and XML. I just wanted to check to see if anybody else had a better idea?
If you are talking about something like a logo change then, short of an app update, the only option you have is getting it from an outside source such as a server transmission. But now you are talking about in-app purchases which, if you have not already, should read up on.

Server based image and/or text transmissions are easily done and if I understand your last comment correctly, these updates would not be very frequent anyway.

we have an app where the user get there own userspace an can create entries without login.
we generate an dynamic link
Like
localhost://apps/{owncode}/userspace
The owncode is calculated by us an the code will saved into the database
The user can add entries for his userspace.
localhost://apps/{owncode}/entries/new
How can I compare (check is its correct} the {owncode} from the database with the url. Because we want to catch if someone call the url by try and error.
You can't check that without forcing the user to log in. You should also not be using anything in the URL to identify their "userspace." It should all be tucked away in the session, associated with the logged in user's account.
If you at least want to make owncode hard to guess, you could generate a ridiculously long hashed string. But this is not recommended, it would not guarantee any security, and users could still try and guess the strings for other "userspaces" without your app being able to do anything about it.

I am developing an app that allows users to post to walls/groups very much like facebook or a classic forum. I really like the way you can post a link on facebook and the link will be recognized as a video, pic, or other media and will automatically display. Its a great feature b/c it keeps users on facebook instead of leaving the site. On that note, I was looking to implement something similar for my the app I am developing. Are there any rails plugins/gems that do this kind of thing?
Yes, I know how to google and have done so. I realize that I could write regular expressions to scan the link and then take an according action. However, I am looking for an existing implementation to save a boat load of time.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
Existing implementations would probably be employing some form of regular expression, although another approach is using custom "Markdown" syntax or BB code to make the regular expression easier.

I tried to find the answer to this question but could not, to be more precise, some apps like instagram have a custom backend, like they have a profile tab in the app where the users profile is stored, including the pics they upload.I want to know how is that page created, and how is the data saved to that page.So in short,if for my app I want to have a profile tab,how do I go about creating it, and how is the data storage done? I wanted to know whether the profile page under my profile tab is created, as in is it done in Xcode or some web design application and linked to Xcode?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for the detailed process,just what software is used and a basic outline.
The back ends are PHP or any other server side languages, these are presented as service APIs interface, the most common is RESTful interfaces, the application connects to these RESTful services to store and retrieve data from
You may also want to read up on core data as any offline profile data is probably stored in core data or as NSUser Defaults.

I am using an extension that depends on the page. I would like to use the extension for each board which means I need a board unique url. It currently looks like this
http://phpbb-site.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=BOARDNUMBER
I'd like to trick Firefox into having BOARDNUMBER in the location part of the url.
Then the extension will work and I won't have to tweak it. The problem is that I can't think of any way I can have Firefox use nice urls. I only need it to work on my computer. I don't own the site. What can I do? Can I use a proxy program? I was thinking maybe I could write a quick asp.net program which essentially does a GET request on the site and replaces all links to include the boardnumber and ignores that part of the url when making the request. It's probably a bad idea because I am sure lots can go wrong
Any ideas?
You should be able to do this using a simple script in Fiddler.
