Messages within Jam App (not email)

Hi all, 

if anyone is keen to help with the ideas, here is the link:

Based on:

https://www.vertabelo.com/blog/database-model-for-a-messaging-system/

Basically this system can be used for anything within the App, just the decision on the msgs form is needed, buttons, etc, and how one wants to do the business rules processing. I sort of like the idea of some stats from above article.

Cheers

Thanks,

the App is already semi developed on that link. I just need to finish "My messages" view and some logic...

Hi all, 

just to explain a bit, the messaging system within the App is used for anything, example might be when one needs to notify Admin(s) about something, or if a "New Admin" was created, or "New Purchase Order" is raised, or someone did not login for one month and Admin should be notified. Or msg group of Users who are dealing with Shipping Goods - like new shipping is expected in a week, or delayed by the week. We can msg some users when specific IP logs in. And many many more things. 

Here is a question, if there is an Admin of the App, how anyone knows who that is and how to contact him/her? 

All this can be contained within the App. It is not the Chat, or emails. Emails can be overlooked, or gone in a spam.

Here is a quick demo. The logic should be to see own messages, or the messages sent to a group one belongs. 

This example also is using Virtual Table (VT) to display messages, very important! I was struggling for years to understand the logic of VT's. It's actually super easy...

Here is the newest App:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PP4QUYpenWwPj5TEKnRbELzXQKWdhyMf/view?usp=sharing

and the DB as well. It is a simple file called "t" , so just create a new jam-project, Import, and point App to this file. Use admin/111 for App after setting "Safe Mode" - since the messages are for the particular users (or group, reminders, etc but not done yet). Than you can set the user/password as you wish on User Menu and not on the Project/Users. 

There is even a testing scenario, if uncomment:

#date = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=3*365)

the messages with expiry date will not show.

Pls let me know of issues. 

Thx

Hi all, 

for the first time we are demonstrating Jam v7. Yes, it is v7 now.

Reshuffled Messages App, just unzip and run with ./server.py:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dwEmyCZmGAxVJ2dDYMjx77qhmZl3jZfS/view?usp=sharing

There are 3 DB users:

admin/111

user1/222

user2/333

Each user can see only msgs assign to that user.

The App is work in progress (bugs!), but it demonstrates a few key things related to the App design from here:
