Write User Name on Plugins Registration/Authorization

@DabDab

Yesterday @Christoph-Hart advised this method is deprecated

You're mixing up things. Christoph said the dump json function is deprecated, that is totally separate from his authorization method.

Here is the tutorial for authorization. Just swap out the dump json stuff with the write string stuff - if it's too complicated for you then just stick with dump json, it's deprecated but it still works.

@d-healey OK. Now I Understand. @Christoph-Hart has a scientist brain. My brain is ordinary. So messed up. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

yeah but....the file API documentation is fundamentally lacking....there is a lot of stuff about how to act upon a file, but nothing that tells you how to create a new file....Engine.dumpAsJSON(someData, "myFileName.js") creates a file....I cant see anything in the documentation that allows me to do this:

var profileData = Engine.loadFromJSON("ProfileData.js");

if (profileData == "")
{
    profileData = [
                    {
                        ProfileName: "FirstOne",
                        someValue: [80]
                    }
                ];
    Engine.dumpAsJSON(profileData,"ProfileData.js");
};

I already made a tutorial snippet for dabdab covering this.

[Lindon]

@d-healey I think you are missing the point I'm making. Its not that:

"You cant do this in HISE"

but:

"Its not explained in the documentaiton how to do this in HISE"

I get it, I'm just saying that dabdab has a solution for that part of the puzzle. I'll try and add something to the docs this evening if I have some free time.

[DabDab]

@Lindon Exactly...... As a beginner I am very much suffering. Figuring out the way and how it works a nightmare to me.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeah basically this comment needs expanding:

Returns a child file if this is a directory.

to:

Returns a child file if this is a directory. Returns a new file if childFileName does not exist

As a beginner

Have you done any javascript script tutorials or watched my HISE scripting 101 video?

[DabDab]

@d-healey Yes Sir, Each Function or most used function should come with an Example. So the beginner can understand how to write /declare it.

You gave me a good starting point yesterday. Still many functions need proper Example.

[DabDab]

@d-healey Yup. I am a Youtube warm. HISESAUCE is my favourite.

Definitely. But Christoph is only one person so we need more people to help out.

Anyone who wants to contribute can access the docs repo here - https://github.com/christophhart/hise_documentation

[DabDab]

@d-healey New comers will struggle to figure out how Functions work without a prior example. It will be better in your FREE time if you can attach Examples in HISE docs.

Authorization HM.js

Check this files which is from the authorization from @Christoph-Hart and look on what I add it about the name. Let me know if you can't figure it out.

[Jay]

Or I can attack my PluginTemplate folder from which you can look too.

[DabDab]

@Jay Yeah... Very higher. I mean tough.

PluginTemplate folder

Yes Please :)

[DabDab]

@jay. I have solved the problem. Your Example was also very good and professional. (y)

[DabDab]

@d-healey Is it possible to save Username as Encrypted format? When user will write his/her name it will be saved as Encrypted form. But when it will be loaded back it will be Decrypted.

I have tried writeEncryptedObject but no Luck. Unable to Decrypt it back. HISE Label only shows the Encrypted form.

Unable to Decrypt it back.

What did you try?

[Jay]

@DabDab I’m glad you solve it, because I know it’s very frustrating when we can’t, anyway the guys in the forum are very good at making us figure things out, because it’s the only way to learn. I personally have learned a lot from @d-healey. Cheers for this guy, that’s why I had credited him in every plug-in.
