Method Community

Thank you, Dave - you have definitely been there answering my questions, and I do appreciate it. Can I depend on RecordID to be a count of rows in the table? If I can, I could deal with fetching where "RecordID >= MyLastRecordID and RecordID < MyLastRecordID+1000" - that would be much better than the time-based query I'm doing ...

Absolutely, Dave. Thank you again for your help. 

Hi ImTheirWebGuy, gbisaga, and LaCrews, For any .asmx page you can click the name of the available operations and that will take you into operation specification. This includes a description of the soap envelope, which is what you were asking for ImTheirWebGuy. This is standard. So you can go to ...

Thank you thank you thank you gbisaga! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! https://www.methodintegration.com/MethodAPI/service.asmx?op=MethodAPISelect_XMLV2

Hey, I'm totally down with a hangout IRL, and I'll keep the beers flowing the enire time (as long as we can talk shop). :D

By the way, I should give a shout out to Mark Crews also - he has definitely been helpful in the past, as he is here. Sorry for forgetting about you, Mark. Maybe we should form the Method API Real World (tm) user group. :-)

Hey Suzanne, We use Mac OS X as well and have been unable to reproduce this behaviour. Go to Customize > Portals > click Edit... next to the approrpiate portal and ensure that the Portal Name field is not blank. If it isn't then advise those customers to clear their browser history and try again. Are you able to replicate this on ...

And David, I really do appreciate your responsiveness, but gbisaga has nailed it: it seems like there's not really an understanding of how the API will actually be used in the real world. I want to implement this software in more places, but further API development has to be part of that. 

Outstanding! I'm actually working from within a WordPress front end, but I'm sure there's useful structure in your code that would help answer some of the questions I'm having. I don't mean to sound frustrated, but I just keep hearing the same answers over and over which don't actually address my questions. I'm not sure ...

I totally feel your pain because I am in the same boat. There are some folks here on the forum who are trying to be helpful (Dave from Method being one), but often I find we are not speaking the same language. I suspect the biggest problem is that Method people have never really had to use their API to solve real business problems, so they are not ...
