But how would I do that without using local storgage data, or is that the way to do it?
To keep things simple for now, you could initialize a property (any property - you get to pick a name for it) in Page Data when the page is being loaded. Set the initial value to 1.
When the button is clicked, get the value from Page Data, increment it and save in the database.
Once that is working, change the logic in the On Page Load event to read the current value from the database and initialize the property in Page Data with the value from the database.
I donât understand this part
Have you done any training on codeless or UI builder?
Yes, a little
You have logic that saves the current number in the database.
When the user revisits the page, you want to get the number they left off from the previous visit to the page.
To do that, you need to retrieve the number saved in the database when the user opens the page
That is done by making a query to the database and getting the number from the userâs record.
Once you have that number, you initialize a page data properly with it .
Ok Yes, I knew that. The problem is that I have tried to do that before and couldnât find the block to that.
A block to do what specifically?
This
The following tutorials should help:
Ok heres what Iâve got:
This is in the buttons code
And this is On page Enter:
The problem is, when I run it, it gives me the output âNullâ
Did you login?
Can you enable âreloadâ checkbox and retry?
What object you are updating? Did you debug(print values) or check in database if needed user were updated?
Youâre making good progress, but there are a few problems with the logic you shared:
The following logic will save an incremented value, however the value in Page Data will remain the same - you need to add additional logic to increment the value stored in Page Data
In the following logic you will fetch 10 records from the Users table and store them all in the Points property in Page Data. This is not what you want⌠You need to retrieve a specific record from Users - the record that corresponds to the currently logged in user. Keep in mind that the Load Table objects block always returns a collection of objects (even if it is a collection of one). So you need to fetch one specific record/object add logic to extract that object from the collection. Then you need to get the Points property from that specific object:
HmmâŚ
I thought I fixed it it but it just wont even show a message nowâŚ
Please let me know my mistakes,
Tyler
I do not see any changes here:
Regarding the logic above, I described what should be done here:
This does not make sense:
The following comment was not addressed in your logic:
So does that mean I canât use the Load table object block?
Also I donât get what block I should use for this
No, you need to use that block, but you need to enhance the logic so it also does the following:
- Uses a where clause to load a record for the current user
- Extract the first object from the value returned by
Load Table object - Extract the
Pointsvalue from the object returned by #2 in this list.
Regarding the following, I believe this should help: https://youtu.be/3mN4BTHt2WQ?si=Xswx6JkHbJ0-zMU5
Hi Mark,
I hope youâre doing well!
I wanted to reach out as part of the Pocket Perks development team regarding the page size settings for retrieving items from the âUsersâ table. It seems that when I set the page size to 10, it returns only 11 items, and Iâd like to retrieve all entries. Here is the block:
Your help has been greatly appreciated, and Iâm confident weâre on to something.
Best regards,

Hi Tom,
When you set it to 10, it should return up to 10. The maximum value supported in the Cloud version is 100; you can use paging to retrieve more. Hereâs a doc on paging:
