I'm trying to prototype a button that would enable me to switch between one of two languages on the website by using CSS, cookies and Javascript. I think I have some of it working except I need to be able to set the controls to the desired language when I visit a new page. I think I need to hook into the page's "onpageshow" event handler to make my calls there.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? If not, it'd be great if WA supplied hooks so we could make calls to the various page events. Have like a default user "onpageshow" event handler that's alway called and we could override if desired.

If there is an option to create a new payment via the API then it would make sense that an automatic receipt email should be sent out as well or at least the option whether to trigger this or not.

We have created our custom payment integration using the APIs because our local payment gateway provider is not supported. After the payment is completed the API registers the payment in WA towards the specified invoices.

We were surprised that the member does not get a receipt email and that it has to be manually done which partly defeats the purpose of having automation if the admin needs to go in an click "send receipt email" for every payment made that day.

At the very least an option should be available in the payment creation api on whether to trigger this email or not.

The webpage here: https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/182 suggests that we can access wildapricot API's from wildapricot hosted web pages. ("Wild Apricot's APIs can be accessed from a 3rd-party server or application, or from a Wild Apricot site page. For information on differences between the two, see API access options.")

However the API access options page (https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/484) only talks about access from a 3rd-party site, and, this request, says we can't run PHP on the wildapricot site: https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308926-designers/suggestions/8821459-inserting-php-pages#comments

So how can we host 'code' on the wildapricot servers that can access the API please?

We would like to write some custom code, without having to setup a separate external website to host and run it.

Thanks very much

We cannot integrate with any of the available online payment providers as none of them are supported in our country.

What I thought to do is use provide the users a link to a third-party code that would use WildApricot APIs to retrieve and update invoice information and that would integrate with our payment providers.

The link would need to include some information about what the user is trying to pay and the most natural thing would be to include the invoice id or event registration id in the link query parameters so that the third-party code can use the WA APIs to get the amounts to be paid and also later update those invoices.

To my surprise I saw that the invoice id macro is not available in the event pending email neither is the event registration id.

So I thought ok let me try the invoice page itself (financial document system page). No invoice id there either!

The invoice id macro is only available in the invoice email but we do not send out invoice emails.

It would make sense to at least have the invoice id in the financial document page or even the event registration id in the event registration pending email (it has all the other event registration details but not the event registration id).

I have custom HTML in WA calling a Google Web App via an GET request. It works. The Google App is doing a lot of WA API calls I don't want to expose in WA Client Code. This is my architecture to work around WA not being server side extensible.

But the Google App redirects to a temp page in the domain script.googleusercontent.com when it is done executing. This is unavoidable in the Google WebApp architecture. I am attempting to make that results page a redirect back to WA. However; this fails only due to the default cross site security.

The recommended workaround is to enable this specific cross site access with Meta tags in the client HTML header which would be WA. I cannot quite seem to find an example of doing this.

Is this possible in my custom WA HTML? Is there some sample code someone could point me to? Thanks.

So we're working on a mobile app for our members at ITEA. Rather than create yet one more account on yet one more app, this app will hit the Wild Apricot API, acquire an auth token based on a member's email and password, and then send back the user's information via the contacts/me endpoint. One login; two platforms. Makes sense.

We're running into some hurdles with the auth API for mobile. Specifically, I'm using React Native and a package called react-native-app-auth to handle the OAuth process. This package in turn uses the AppAuth SDK for iOS and Android.

Hurdles:

1) The username / password auth process doesn't seem to work well with my particular auth package. Has anyone else successfully used the Wild Apricot username / password auth method for a mobile app? If so, was the AppAuth SDK used? Did re-directing back to the mobile app work okay? And was a token granted without the use of an intermediary code?

2) Given the issues I've had with the username / password method, I would be willing to go with the more traditional single sign-in service method. However, that process seems to favor web applications and requires re-direct paths to begin with https:// (and with a mobile app this would not be the case). While I understand why this restriction is in place, relaxing this requirement would allow mobile apps to also use the single sign-in method. Any chance of this happening?

3) These days, the use of static client secrets for mobile is frowned upon from a security standpoint. Are there plans to move to the PKCE OAuth extension and dispense with client secrets entirely? Also: any chance of OpenID being implemented in general?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
