I’m new to Blocs. I just bought it a few days ago.
Is there a way to connect a Blocs made website to a database for accessing outside data (dynamic content)? Anybody had plans to build a sort of a bridge/Bric? I use the FileMaker Data API (REST/JSON). I understand that Blocs can export to some CMS, but I would prefer a more direct link to manage contain.
I read some threads in this forum. The more recent was active last year (PHP approach). Many things may have appeared since ( Blocs updates, experimentation, new brics, etc.).
Agreed … but …
I use Filemaker too, but never thought about connecting it with a web design app.
Let’s see how many users are interested in such a bric.
I would pay for it as long as it’s not too expensive. (what ever that means)
I wish we could find a way to make web sites built by Blocs more dynamic. I’ll explore Code Widget. But a connection to a database could be very efficient when we need a lot of content changes.
I use FileMaker most of the time, but a REST/JSON connection could be done with many other DB like PostGres (which I use too), MySQL, MS SQL, etc. Maybe that kind of development could interest new users and help Blocs to grow.
you used to be able to write PHP to get Filemaker data but that is now superseded by the REST API.
Is there a way to do this natively without a custom bric?
