Servoy Forum

Hi Folks

In line with our web development in Servoy, we are continuing to test and learn.

One aspect that we'd now like to complete is the creation a registration page for users. So we want a new user to go to the reg form in our web solution, enter email address and perhaps a captcha, and the solution will email them a confirmation link - just like it works in thousands of other web apps.

Creating and sending the email is simple enough, but I need some guidance on the concepts of how we can consume the confirmation from the user.

So, he clicks a link in the email, which I assume would have a url/uuid or similar, but how does a Servoy solution consume that data, and then email back a password and user name etc?

Is there some sort of HC running that the link connects with?

Is a second solution necessary (the main solution has 'Must Authenticate' on)?

Feedback appreciated.

We are doing this with solution that runs as a webservice..
the internet site communicates with this (servoy webservices)
the web services solution, creates the account, like login, password etc.. & mails it to the customer

Thanks for the feedback Harjo - McCourt bet me you would respond

Not quire sure what this means though:

We are doing this with solution that runs as a webservice..

How does a solution run as a web service? Do you mean its a stand alone solution that is able to consume an http request?

(you can tell I'm a web noob in the extreme LOL)

yes, it's a standalone solution that acts as webservice using the restfull plugin: http://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/D ... b+Services

(ps did he won the bet? )

He did - and it's another bloody quid I owe him
