Can't seem to add to the Product Class

Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by "adding to the Product class". Could you explain?

If what you mean is just "saving one (or more) Product objects" on Parse, you should be able to do something like this:

import parse_rest
from parse_rest import Object

parse_rest.APPLICATION_ID = YOUR_APP_ID
parse_rest.REST_API_KEY = YOUR_REST_KEY

class Product(Object):
      pass

# You can set your attributes when initializing the object
one_product = Product(price=10, name="My First Product") 

# Or you can just instantiate and define them later
another_product = Product()

another_product.price = 20.0
another_product.name = "My Second Product"

# Save them on Parse.
one_product.save()
another_product.save()

There is a Product Class for iOS apps for In-App Purchases. I did what you mentioned above but apparently it is a special class. I talked to Parse and they said to add items to the class you have to call 1/classes/_Product
or else it makes another Product Class.

I tried making a class _Product but I end up with a bad request. It might be because I was missing a column for the Icon. Ill try adding that to see if it works.

I don't see how to upload an image. The File class seems to only grab a url? And nothing in the code indicates that the content type gets changed for a file upload? Am I wrong.

Thank you for the response.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the explanation, forgive my lack of knowledge on the iOS side of things. It looks like there is nothing much we can do about protected classes there. I would recommend just giving your class another name, then.

The File/Image types are somewhat recent, I'm yet to implement the uploading part. Perhaps @dgrtwo will bei faster than me? ;)

I've been a bit bogged down for this week, but I hope to catch up, review the commits, and try my hand at these issues over the weekend!
