Zoho Creator's public URL string system is many things..
1. Wonderful Feature for quickly sharing views
2. Consistent and stable (the same string is generated and used for a single view's different data types; hash,perma,html,xsl,json, etc)
3. It's a pain to build private but quasi-public facing applications!
I've written many public URL manager functions (holding all your public string URL's in a static map variable an then referencing them that way).
One thing I came across when doing some work with a JSON view is that the public string HAS A PARAM KEY NAME!
It's privateLink=
You can now use
Why does this matter?
YOU CAN USE THIS PARAM IN YOUR HTML VIEW!
You can actually pass this param to a view and save it's value to your html view! This means that daisy chaining links
with the correct public string is much easier!
