Really cool!

Good job Paul!

This plugin is EXACTLY what I needed for my new app and released just as I was looking for it, what are the odds! I needed a way to generate dynamic xml files for a Twilio phone/sms integration and this app can do it.

Thank you I’ll be buying it today!

[ezdev]

For those who are having errors regarding cross-origin, we have fixed it.
Please update the plugin to the latest version.

Hello @ezdev, would it be possible to use the read function to scan the text for keywords and then show the number of times those keywords are in the file?

[ezdev]

Hi!
Sounds like a good idea, will look if we can do that.

[nathansessions1]

Please keep me updated. I would also be happy to beta test if need.

Hey @ezdev

Hope you are well dude. Not sure if anyone else is getting the issue.
But for I’m getting a cors error for the plugin on version 1.3
Version 1.2.2 and below are working fine I’m just going to stay on 1.2.2 but thought I should mention

Cheers!

@haydnhinks

I’m getting a cors error for the plugin on version 1.3

Hi, thanks for the report, we will fix it asap.

[steeple41]

is there a way to save changes to the existing file in the database instead of creating a new file in file manager?

[ezdev]

Unfortunately, no, because the way Bubble DB works, even if we will use the PATCH API call (to change the existing file), the old file won’t be deleted from the file manager anyway, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Hi, I was looking for something like this.

1. Can this plugin also generate doc./docx. files?
2. Does it support text styling? (paragraph breaks, numbering etc?)

Hi EzCode team,

Great plugin! We’re using the plugin initially to read a file from AWS S3 and - in some cases, then save an updated version of the file.

We’re encountering an issue and I wonder if there’s a solution?

This is the use-case flow:

• The plugin reads from the AWS S3 text file; the contents can then be edited by the user
• The user makes changes as needed
• The user clicks save and the plugin saves those changes back to the text file on AWS S3
• The user refreshes the page
• The plugin reads from the file - but instead of pulling the latest version of the file from AWS S3, it gets the original version from the browser’s cache…
• …Making it look like the changes the user made have been lost

This happens in Chrome (and possibly in other browsers as well). Is there a way to force the plugin to always get the file from the URL specified and not from the cache?

Many thanks!

Hi EzCode Team,

I have really enjoyed this plugin. We use it to read, create and download files. In our current implementation we are taking a string generating a file out of it and auto downloading it. This has worked great until a few days ago.

We can no longer download files of any kind either in the download file method or auto download method shown in the demo app. I have also noticed it does not work in the example application you guys published.

Can you guys please take a look into this?

Thank you a bunch!

[zachary.bracken]

I have confirmed that it has todo with a chrome update. I was still able to use this download feature in internet explorer. @eazycode can you guys update the plugin to work with the newest chrome release?

[eazycode]

Hey @zachary.bracken , thanks a lot, yep, looks like new chrome update have some global changes

We trying to find solution asap and will inform you here

Regards Pavel @ eazycode.com

[eazycode]

Hey @zachary.bracken, we checked in old and last Chrome version, on Mac and windows, all looks good on our end

Can you please try to check one more time on your end and demo ? If it will be broken can you share some more details, chrome version, link to app or all that can be helpful ?

Thanks

Regards Pavel @ EazyCode team.
