Server Side Action Steps missing

[M.G]

Hi there,

i am using wappler since 2 years with a pause.
In Wapple 3.9.9:
How the heck can we put the database connection into the “Steps”?
I dont see it anywhere. DB-Connection is set up an running, i just can´t add it to the steps.
Plus i am not able to select a server action for a form in the frontend…i am missing the old way to solve these things.

Please help me

The new way is to add a database connection under globals’

The connection is available wherever you need it.

thx ben

but slowly i am going mad…pls have a look at the screenshot…what am i doing wrong?
I worked with Wappler on a whole Website 2 years ago and loved it…
Now it seems i am too stupid to get a single DB-Connection up and running?

Do you have an idea?

I see you created some steps under globals. It’s now where you add steps like database query, please remove it from there.

A lot has changed in Wappler for 2 years, indeed.

1. You first create your database connection under Globals > Database Connections
2. You create your Server Action under API
3. You add the database query step in the Steps of the server action you just created under API
4. Save the server action and you are done. The data will be available on the page.
