  • troublesum, thanks, that was a really insightful answer. So basically the approach to security here is the same as anywhere else.

    I'm just wondering whether it is worth it to deal with all the handshakes and encryption just to send anonymous scores. Even if someone dropped the entire mysql table I'd just reup it from backup. On the other hand, why tempt fate.... I'll have a look at how cumbersome to implement would the mechanisms you described be.

  • I have a server where I keep my PHP scripts and images. At first I had a problem because AJAX requests returned nothing: turned out that cross-origin sharing needed to be set up in the .htaccess file.

    However, when I'm trying to load an image via 'Load image from URL' it still gives me this:

    (...) has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

    I'm confused. How would I add this header specifically to an image file?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • So my game does not send any sensitive data: just anonymous score values. Still, having it all on the table via seems kind of insecure?

    Basically it is very easy to inject something there or to exploit this url to add anything you want to the database (mysql).

    Can you recommend any ways to prevent this?

  • Also as a case study: I've got an app which has some 2000 active users (and growing).

    When the admob plugin crashed I immediately started getting exclusively one-star ratings which resulted in lost money, lost users etc.

    Ashley - we do need an official plugin for this.

  • Knifegrinder

    Are you saying that if I just update the URL in the XDK it is going to work again?

  • Hi, is there a problem with the repo or something?

    My project was compiling fine this morning when suddenly the XDK gives me this:

    Error: Plugin failed to install: Admob com.admob.admobplugin (https://github.com/gooogleadmob/phonegap-admob-plugin/)

  • Hi,

    Will be a possibility to dynamically create the comment box via system->create object ?

    I mean it is possible but you can't set the parameters (ID and URL) so the box will be empty.

  • Is there no way to let invisible layers act like there were not there? (all objects not registering/blocking clicks)?

    I used some invisble layers for UI menus because its easier to just show/hide a layer instead of 30+ objects.

    I don't think so. In my case I finally gave up and used a different layout for my menus. After all this is not what layers are for. Still, if you HAVE to use layers for this kind of thing it is a pain in the butt. What I suggest is using control instance variables, like registering clicks only if "isClickable" is true.

  • Let me see... so far I have about 1,5% click ratio. I've got some 2500 impressions and about 40 clicks.

  • Hi,

    I'm not sure where the problem lies but I get a lot of impressions of the ad but no clicks.

    Right now I have like 400 impressions total and 0 clicks. That is suspicious.

    I also seem to be earning some money on those impressions but still, where are the clicks??

    Any experiences or ideas on why would that be would be appreciated.

    [edit] Ahh NEVERMIND. I was looking at the wrong section of the AdMob UI. Everything works great!

  • Clarification needed:

    Do I create the AD once and then show it multiple times or do I create an AD every time I want to show it?

  • Hi,

    Thank you but for some reason these ads don't display in my app.

    I'm putting 'create fullscreen ad' and 'show fullscreen ad' in 'on start of layout' but it does nothing.
