I wanted to add Facebook and Google login to the customer login page or in sign up in Shopify so tell me how I can implement it?
I will assume by the type question you made that you are new to programing. I apologize if that is a wrong assumption.
Do you want to implement it? Does that mean you want to develop your own plugin from scratch? Then you have to learn how to make Shopify extensions first. You should probably start with "hello world" types of example and only then try to approach something complex like 0auth for customers.
If you want it just working here somebody's else implementation:
https://apps.shopify.com/oxi-social-login?surface_detail=store-design-customer-login&surface_inter_position=1&surface_intra_position=4&surface_type=category
As you notice, it's not trivial to do it and they can sell this feature at a price and have happy customers. Yet another hint that's it's not feasible to start learning programing on complex projects and skipping the first baby steps and the necessary learning steps.
I'm including a paid extension as my recommendation because you didn't specify anything in your question and therefore paid extensions might be valid solution for you.

I have taught myself HTML/CSS and some JavaScript as a hobby, and have reached the point where I am comfortable building a clean simple website. The company I work for (we do nothing related to coding) has a website that is quite outdated so naturally I saw this as an opportunity for my first live site. I approached my Managers at work to take a look at my first mock up and they loved it and want me to revamp our current site.
The one concern they have with me being a rookie is the issue of web security. Essentially they want to make sure that the website I build leaves no vulnerability for someone to hack through our server, start editing our website, etc.
There are no interactive components to the current website. I plan to build this website with only HTML and CSS, and perhaps add some JavaScript later down the road once I progress in my learning a bit more. There are no account logins or areas to enter personal information anywhere on the site.
My question comes down to this -- what can I do to ensure that the website I build is not leaving our company vulnerable? I have done a lot of searching around Stack Overflow and other websites but I am not confident I am finding the correct information.
Details that might make a difference:
Our company website is hosted through godaddy.com
Our website is currently on Wordpress, but I will probably not use Wordpress for the new website
I greatly appreciate all of your help!
since there should be no direct interacting with the server ex PHP and AJAX only HTML CSS and js there should be no security issue, as js and HTML can't edit/delete/read server files, only server-side programming can. eventually you may want to invest in PHP almost no website is complete without PHP or AJAX. take me for example, I used to use just HTML, CSS, and js. then I wanted to do more.. log form answers to a file, show different pages based on the query string. these things are virtually impossible in a HTML, CSS, and js only environment. I would also recommend atleast getting free protection from cloud flare.. they give free shared hosting wildcard SSL, and free DDOS protection, granted for a business you might want to invest a little more than free but free would be a good starting point
also you could pay someone to test the vulnerability of your company, take for example OurMine. a legal hacking group.. you pay them to test your security and they do just that. (they claim they don't log anything that they get) otherwise there might be vulnerabilities you may not be aware of
When you are concerning about just AJAX call, I would help you out for following suggestion regarding "Function access rule from AJAX".
By adding "_" as a prefix for Function name, we can prevent function to be called from The Web publicly. This is the best practice when we need some specific function to be accessed via AJAX only.
Kindly, refer my answer given in other question.
[Website Security: How to learn?
I want to show the amount of visitors for a Bolt page in the frontend. I could not find a proper solution for this in the docs or in the extensions.
Is this possible with Twig? Or should I use a third-party solution?
From the point of view of Twig, no. You would need a reliable way to log each visit, remove bots and crawlers and still no trash your database.
I wrote something for WP once, well twice actually, that attempted to do the visit tracking but it ended up putting a lot of pressure on the backend to track things that people like Google had far better resources to handle in terms of a) knowing what should be considered a 'real' visitor, and b) storing/processing the associated data.
What you however could do, implement Google Analytics to log the visitors and then use the API to display visitors on the front-end.
Might be quite a hassle to figure out how the API works for certain pages, but it will solve your problem.
Good luck!

First time post here, so forgive me for any bad etiquette/format.
I will preface by saying:
I have (over the last few months) been developing an iOS app for work. To be more specific, I am developing an inventory app to track bar inventory (liquor, beer, wine, etc). I can give more specifics on request if needed. I have most of the functionality done, only a couple more things I would like to implement. Eventually I will be porting it to Android as well.
At the moment, I have the model objects being archived to the local filesystem for saving and loading of data. However, my goal would be to database the model objects with the ability to display the information on a webpage. My logic is that no matter where the user is, he/she will be able to sign in to a service using a username and password, and view correctly formatted current/past inventories online. This is to allow the ability for a bartender to record the inventory, and have the bar manager view the inventory instances without having to have the physical device that recorded the inventory in his/her possession.
So here is my question:
Without being too general, what kind of service would I need to pull this off? I have a good amount of relevant front-end experience, specifically with iOS, Objective-C, HTML and CSS. However, I have ZERO experience on the back-end. I have researched around the internet, and I am aware of things such as cloud databases, web hosting and MySQL, etc. However, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer without asking my specific question. I suppose I would just like to be pointed in the right direction before investing money and time into a service that may prove useless to my cause.
Any resources and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
There's not a definitive answer and you have a lot of options.
For me, the simplest is to set up a server with a database incorporated (mysql for example) and with a web service (written in PHP for example) that manages the database and queries on that.
Online you can find tons of guide on how to write a script in PHP that manages a database:
http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/2
For the iOS part you can follow also this guide:

Good luck!
I'm a relative beginner using Google Apps Script and JavaScript, but I've been playing around with bot for days now and I've created a few simple programs and I'd really like to try and get started on my dream project, even if it takes me forever. I'd like some advice on what I should use in terms of making the UI and what database I should use to hold the information (and if this app is even possible).
The App
I'd like to create an online novel management app that utilizes Google Drive as it's source for files. The UI would have a tree that showcases all the google drive files in the novel. When a scene is clicked, the scene opens up for editting.
Questions
Is this app a possibility?
If so, in terms of a UI, what do you think I should use? The google
provided UIbuilder? The HTML service - for example, can I have a
frame on the right that the google doc that needs to be editted
can open up in on the right?
Lastly, what database should I use? The database would have to store
chapter names and positions, as well as scene names, positions,
and the google doc ID that the scene corresponds to. I've got a
handle on ScriptDB and Spreadsheets... And if either of these two
aren't the best option, would some other database work better? And
why?
This app will, hopefully, be able to give an overview of a novel in tree form, allow you to open a particular scene and edit it, create new scenes, and also change the order in which the scenes are displayed. And then when the person finishes their novel, the app will compile all the scenes into one novel (also in google Drive).
Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Having a look at the questions you recently posted I think I have a pretty good idea of what you are trying to do and it looks like an exciting project... I can only encourage you to start it as soon as you can even if you're not comfortable with all the tools you will need to use, the best learning method is probably to work on something important to you.
Now your 3 questions : 1 - This is perfectly doable in the GAS environment and shouldn't be too hard to go through.
2 - the GUI builder is an easy way to start with UI but it lacks a number of features and tools that you will be needing (tree for example ) and is not so easy to expand if you ever need to. Depending on your knowledge in html, the choice is mainly between UiApp and html service... I would choose UiApp because I'm not good at all in html (but that's not relevant here ;-) but both are capable of building what you want, are easily expandable and not too hard to debug. The advantage could go to html service if you are going to look for 'nice looking features' because it opens the door to 3rd party tools... but again, this is a matter of personal choice.
3 - A recent post from Mogsdad showed that spreadsheet are faster than scriptDb for data storage and manipulation. I find it also easier since I can have a global view on data in the spreadsheet when debugging. Of course Spreadsheet must be considered as a container and data manipulated at array level to benefit from maximum performance. I use that in a lot of database application with full satisfaction.
Sorry for these "general considerations" that don't comply to sto standards ;-)
Yes, it seems that all of the things you are requesting are not too ridiculous. I recommend sticking to Google services because they are all easily integrated. To start off, you may want to use the UI builder/UI services. There may be a point in this project where you may want some functionality that the UiApp doesn't provide. At that point, you might want to switch over to HtmlService.
My answer is the same for the databases question. You might want to use a spreadsheet for your database so that you will be able to easily edit it by hand if you need to. You may not have the performance that another database would give you, but it will be fairly easy to test and mess around with your spreadsheet "database."
You could start out with getting the basics down. There's a serious amount of data out there. I would suggest you research on an "as-needed" basis. Design some work-/dataflow patterns for your app, for which you could try to use the Fluid UI extension for Chrome. Have a look at this from Mozilla on the designing of apps.
When you've gone through this you might want to have a look at Phonegap and the basics of web development and how you could combine the two.
There's also several ways of using/storing data. You could try WebSQL though it they no longer develop it. You could look at IndexedDB. You could try to use cookies.
Seriously, have a look around. You might also like the books of Wrox. They're very informative and have great work with reading demo's. Though the books are huge ;)
