Trouble getting started with Parse.com

Does the Corona example for Parse work out the box?

I’ve signedup and added my Application and Rest Key
These is also a “X-Parse-Session-Token” = nil which I copied the one from the Parse dashboard… not sure what the format of this is or how I generate a new one…

When I try the App in the Corona Sim I enter values for the following fields
Name:
Password
Email
and leave Update Blank
Reading through the source appears that these are entered by the user and a Parse object is created
However all I get is a ‘Missing login data’ message…

Feel like a complete idiot, I’m not experienced in DB programming so I don’t want to try the other options from Parse site, like using their toolkit.

Particualy annoying as I wasted several days trying to get AWS SimpleDB working with replacing attributes…
Can’t really wait for Corona Cloud for my dev purposes, maybe switch over for App launch…
Any help MUCH appreciated

Are you using the Corona Parse SDK (third party from Github)? Is this message thrown when you are creating a user account in the app or trying to login to an existing account? [import]uid: 92150 topic_id: 36201 reply_id: 143757[/import]

yes I’m using the github code

Do the fields have to represent an actual Parse account? I thought it was just a demo to show how you would store a new users details and retrieve, so pretty much what I need for my App.

So if I am right in my assumptions, I’m having problems just creating a new a signup !

Ok, the Parse module in the demo should spit out a signup, login, logout, update buttons (or some variant thereof). You first need to “signup” with a new user. Once you do that, you can reference your Parse.com dashboard and see the new user account set up.

When using the app, this is how a user creates an account. You can also login with that same account with the test app and have the ability to update a text field. [import]uid: 92150 topic_id: 36201 reply_id: 143780[/import]

Thats right I get an error when trying to signup with a new user, I copied the AppKey and RestKey from the dashboard, wasn’t sure about the seesion Token, tried with = nil and the seesion token from the dashboard.

Is there anything else I could try?

I get Missing Login data

Looks like there are issues with getting the values out of the input fields. Look at the main.lua and double check how they are storing the input field data. I suspect the error lies in there somewhere. [import]uid: 92150 topic_id: 36201 reply_id: 143782[/import]

Thanks managed to get it to work by debugging what was going into the signup function

Update box needs to be filled with a value for credit ie 100

On each box you need to click with mouse and press return, then click onto next box

Not seen whats being stored yet but it looks like its working
