I have literally no coding skills. I know a little about bat, and html, and css. I hope someone can help with my question, as it seems no one has been willing to help me figure this out yet.
The Problem:
I manually send software keys these days to my own customers through secure email. But it has become tiresome, and some end users want the code right away, even at 4 am when I am sleeping.
The Question:
What do I have to do to code into my website to send the end user their serial key by email automatically? Have it automatically send the keys. All I would have to do is upload them securely somewhere for it to get it.
Maybe dropbox?
Any help would be helpful. Currently using wordpress. Would be willing to purchase any code or software if its already out there. Just having a hard time being able to locate it.
I've found my solution using Woo-Commerce and this solution:
https://www.licensemanager.at/
Basically, I'll be creating my own set of serials that have checksums in them (not using the built-in generators), and then load a few hundred in there ready to be sold and issued when people make a purchase.
Through the basic API of that plugin, I can then get the user to register online and so keep track roughly of when it's been used.
All free, just takes a while to set up, specifically the validating code in my program.
It's still fairly simple and primitive, but you can work around it's limitations.
I'd love to see if having customisable user level API permissions per API user, rather than a flat 'on/off' for each of the JSON API calls.
You could use a Wordpress for a fast website enviroment deploy, with the Woocommerce plugin, to allow people to buy your software, and the WooCommerce Software Add-on , to provide them the licences, once the payment is done.

I'm not wordpress expert, I write custom php applications and I have an application with the functionality that you are asking. The application has password recovery page, product key retrieval page. And user gets Text Message and email.
Wordpress is written in php, so you can use the php mail(); function to send the email to the customer.
You can store the keys and other data in a database table. And create a page from where the users can fetch the required data automatically.
Lets say that a returning customer lost his key, he will come to the site, and will fill in his subscription email or other credentials, and the php script will fetch the key from database and send it to the user email using the mail function.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
You need to make your users sign up to your website. Like a registration form that allows users to register once, then upon registration, you assign a serial to their details and store them in a database. Then the script can send the serial to the user's email. PhP works pretty good for me.
After many more searches I did find the answer finally! I went to http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com, went to products, and found "e-store". This plugin allows you to sell everything digital. And gives you the tools you need for a good price. I decided to buy the Affiliate and e-store plug-in.
Thanks for your help and time!

I have some business ideas I would like to try in the near future that would involve selling digital products like software or datasets. I know how to create a website as far as the HTML and CSS end, but I don't have experience with making web applications or user account systems. I would also be concerned with liability should someones account get hacked or payment information stolen.
I don't think what I need is anything too fancy. The customer needs to be able to create an account, purchase digital products, and give them access to those files on their account. I would also need the ability to remove, update, or add new files to their account after the fact.
Are there services that handle user accounts, hold files, and handle payments in one service? Maybe I could just create my own user account system and have someone else handle all payments? I could use some guidance here.
Shopify or Square if you don't want to do anything. You can also try Opencart, Megento, WooCommerce, Prestashop or Drupal Commerce.
EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:
I did mean Square, not "Squarespace". Specifically https://squareup.com
I am working on a project and one of the key components is creating customized user profiles. I already have a schema design for the user data that will generate said profile. But I am lost on how the technology works.
I am mostly front-end so it has been sort of overwhelming. The goal is to allow multiple user profile creations and so far I have only seen that this can be achievable via NodeJs or PHP. I have not found any guides.
I am not sure if I am asking the right questions.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Since you mention you already have schema for the user table, I assume you are going to design your own database and backend node.js API to handle user profiles. You may want to build authentication functionalities in the future. If you are not familiar with Node.js yet, I recommend you to start with https://www.tutorialspoint.com/nodejs/index.htm. It's a good tutorial for beginners.
The whole purpose of a back-end node.js API is building numbers of service with specified route. Once a http request is made to a particular path, it takes parameters and execute some script. In you case the scripts will do something in database containing user profile data, for example, add a row in your data table. This operation is equivalent to creating a new user. Then, the API send response to front-end.
Keep in mind maintaining user profile data is nothing special than regular data. You should be able to pick it up with a couple of days training if you know javascriopt. But if you have to build authentication functionality you need more technologies.

Ok, so say I wanted to have a sign up form similar to the iOS apps of Facebook, Gmail, Dropbox etc. I don't mean I want to have the users be able to login using those services (although that would be nice) but I want to actually have something similar to a SQL server as the web service https://parse.com/ would use.
It seems like a great service and very easy to setup, but I would like to go the extra mile and take advantage of the servers I have available in the cloud to create my own custom version of the following. I understand that mySQL isn't very usable within the iOS development platform, however sqlite3 is. Say I've created my storyboard layout and I think I have an idea of what it is I would like to do. I just don't know what I need to do to achieve it! Essentially what would be ideal is to to create statistical models based on the combined data from all of the users.
Properties of the application:
I would like the users also to be able to go online and download the data they entered into the iOS app by importing it into excel. However it would be very important that I nor any other user could identify the source of the data. As most of my users are going to know of each other in real life. Think of the app as something to do with drag racing, and the users enter in there race results and information about their setup and then upload it to my server. It is very important that I cannot see which user the information derived from, but at the same time would like to access the data and retrieve a list of the users and their respective emails!
User Interface of application:
Here is a screenshot of what the storyboard ideally might look like. Nothing is linked together yet these are just the screens that I originally had in mind! I'm not asking for anyone to give me any serious help as I want to do it on my own, I just need the resources in order to do it myself. It seems as if there is nothing online that could explain how the website parse's framework was created!

How can I make a service similar to parse (JSON format) by using my own server in the cloud?
You can use MySQL on the server and SQLite on the client (preferably wrapped in Core Data) without any issue. The two shouldn't directly interact or have any knowledge of each other. Because the server will present an API for the client to use. And that API should divulge no information about the internal setup of the server.
For the API, think about a RESTful interface, probably implemented with JSON.
This caters for all of your uploading and downloading capability.
Your other things are built around this. You have good intentions for keeping the data anonymous - but that is a facet of what you send and how you structure the data storage in the server.
Finally, doing it yourself will be error prone and take a long time. Creating a Parse.com account and configuring the database will be relatively error free and will take very little time. What do you make money from? (hint: leveraging the work of others).
I know this is a hardcore programmer's site and I am more of a theorist/researcher, so bear with me with my question and my terminologies. I would like to pick your brains on this matter.
We have an existing website developed using Moodle. The website is technically a Learning Management System that grades users after each course. Now we want to make it more interactive by adding a game element to it. We will develop a tab that will redirect the users to Joomla website (which will look exactly like the moodle one) but they wont know they are on a different platform. This tab will display the users profile including his grade or at least the numerical value of his "Grades" which will be labeled as "Points". I know the numerical value of the user's Grades are stored somewhere in Moodle but is it possible for that value to be a reference of the User's points in the Joomla platform?
You will probably need to synchronise the logins between Moodle and Joomla. A "single sign on". Have a look at these integrations for Joomla.
But I would personally develop the game as a local plugin in Moodle rather than using Joomla: Local plugins - MoodleDocs.
You can share same DB for Moodle and Joomla.
But you have to keep in mind while your user details are stored in Moodles at that time you have to submit those info to the Joomla user table too.
Then you can achieve your goal. For setting up the Joomla user manually you can refer this link
Hope it make sense..
you can share the moodle website with joomla that possibly submit those user table which is acquired from moodle
Yes it is possible but make sure that user detail must be synchronized between both system tables(which has user information).
I want to make a website for my Android social networking app and need some assistance with a basic concept regarding user profile pages. So right now I have a native Android app where users have their own profile page displaying their profile stats, e.g. followers etc. and I would like to do something similar in HTML. My question is how can I design a generic profile.html page that displays the current user's username/stats and that can be used for different users? For example, see how Facebook are using the same profile page for each user but they replace the name/bio/stats fields with the data for the current user, how is that done - at the server side (by replacing the appropriate fields with the data for the current user), or at the client side (by loading them with a separate script after the page has loaded)?
Also, I am using a Tomcat servlet to deal with the requests if anyone is interested.
Thanks for any assistance and sorry if the question is silly :)
You would have to use PHP. Think of webpages as a mathmatical equation where HTML is 3+4=12 but PHP is 3+X=12. HTML is already defined, you can't change it. Where PHP you can code the entire page but get the bio or username from a database.
But you should be warned that this is no simple task, you would have to create a large mySQL database, possibly more to handle logging in and out and use the PHP to define what you are calling for form the mySQL database.
It is possible, but not in a day.
