Hi Paul,

I faced similar situation where I implemented an async game where a user could create a lobby (custom entitiy) with X number of user slots and start the game right away, submit its side of moves (all in a single go or one by one/turn based) and then wait for other users to fill those slots by submitting their turns.

An official support'd b really great.

@Paul-Winterhalder Yes please, there are other gaming backends which only works with Open Id . I already shared one requirement with Jason. Implementing this will not just solve my edge case but open opportunities for lots of other backends to work well with BrainCloud

Please provide OpenID support so third party backends which support Open ID can communicate and verify if a user exists or not.
Thanks

@Ben-Morris unfortunately yes
they promised to solve it in BC 5.0 though

@Panagiotis-Milios another problem is Pre and Post Hooks are treated/costed seperately. This should fall under the same 3 free api calls rules, so if i make a call to authenticate user, then prehook + authentace + post hook should b call as 1 + 2 free api calls rather than 3 seperate api calls defeating the purpose and benefits of using pre/post hooks.

I really hope BC listens to us

@Paul-Winterhalder fingers crossed

@Paul-Winterhalder It'd be great if we can have this info. +1

Yes, it will be an extra api call.
However as its part of cloud script, so if im not mistaken you get 2 more apis calls free so this one shouldnt cost extra.

Hi there,

As Brain Cloud advertises itself for building data heavy business apps, and its been a great experience so far, however Entities pagination api with max 100 items per page limit is becoming a bottle neck for us.

Any other major backend for Apps, provide a way to request "atleast" 1000 items per page, so please increase the limit from 100 to 1000.

Thanks

Hi there,

Currently any user can add anyother user a friend without their consent which is not right behavior.

So please add support for accepting or rejecting a friend request; just like any other social appp/game in the world.

Thanks

@JasonL I understand the reason, but please do provide a way to pass custom data to authenticate api so we can use that data to set user displayname or profile picture or soemthing else on post-hook.
Without this, we have no choice but to call a seperate call from client (so no beneift of 2 free api inside cloud call)

BUMP

Amazing, especially Amazon In-Apps support

Thanks @Paul-Winterhalder

WOW, Thank you Paul

Thanks for Amazon InApps @Paul-Winterhalder ,
I was also waiting for writing api for global properties, please do consider it for 4.6 release

Hi there,

Please provide support for long awaited api for "Writing" Global Properties. I build admin apps so ability to write global properties via cloud api is a must have feature.

Thanks

Hi there,

Please either provide a pre hook for authentication api calls OR provide an ability to send custom json data so we can in a post hook do custom stuff like setting user display name and profile picture on email signup or display name in guest login etc

Thanks

@Paul-Winterhalder Even though in current projects im using global entities as i started it way before custom entities; however i'd welcome these bulk api improvments for custom entities only. As my next project which is focus around user generated content,'d make a great use of it.
