Hi Bubblers,
I have been building an app for 6 months and have made amazing progress. This is the first time I have used such a platform and am very impressed with what we can to today with no code.
But I currently encounter a challenging use case…:
Imagine you have a facebook social network, with people, groups, and posts.
- Groups are owned by administrators
- An administrator can own 1 or more groups
- Administrators are the only ones able to post something.
- Users can follow one or multiple groups.
- Users have a home page (basically a feed), and this feed shows all the posts from all the groups they are following and NOTHING more
The way I did it today is by having multiple objects:
- Users
- Groups : They have an admin list of user and a list of members
- Posts : They have a list of groups where the post is posted into
And the feed page queries the data with a “do a search for posts” filtered with an advanced filter: This post’s group :each items member contain current user.
This just works, BUT this is not a good practice and the filtering is done on the browser.
I need something that works with privacy rules and that is server side.
I tried many different data approaches, but because privacy rules cannot check at a list level, I am stuck with the only solution: Admin can only own 1 group, and publish 1 post to 1 group.
This is a huge problem for my app and is really putting me down… any idea from anyone ?
Thanks in advance for your responses guys!
