MySpace Developer Platform Wiki

All MySpace Developer Platform (MDP) documentation is now available from one centralized location. We've recently revised a good majority of the existing content and have a lot of new documentation on the way.

Let's take a walk though some of the new features and changes to the MySpace Developer Platform.

Developer Platform Navigation Bar

The following has changed for navigation site-wide:

  • Learn and Reference buttons replaced by a single Documentation button.
  • Test button renamed Tools.

 

Developer Wiki Main Page

Our new Developer Wiki is accessible by clicking on the Documentation button in the blue site navigation bar.

There are serveral methods to find documentation. Featured articles and categories are accessible from the Main Page:

  • Featured Content – new and popular articles
  • The Basics – introductory articles to learn about the platform
  • Getting Started – set up a developer account and learn how to create a MySpace app
  • In Depth – select links to detailed reference documentation

Left-hand Navigation

Direct links to Application Platform (OpenSocial) docs, MySpaceID docs, MDP Videos, FAQs and the Site Map are available throughout the Wiki from the left-hand navigation.

Site Map

Our new documentation Site Map updates automatically whenever content is assigned to a category.

Search

Are you having trouble finding specific documentation on our site? Use the Search box in the left-hand navigation of the Wiki, type in a keyword for a complete list of related documents.

Content Navigation

Let's say you are reading "What's New in OpenSocial 0.8" by Chad Russell. Since document is the Articles category and the OpenSocial category, both paths are displayed at the top of the page.

FAQ Index

We've revised and reorganized the entire FAQ into groups, then created an FAQ Index that will help guide you to the information, if available.

 

External contribution to the Wiki documentation is unavailable at this time. We are currently using our Wiki as a powerful collaboration tool between teams within MySpace to provide higher quality, accurate documentation for developers.

Questions, comments, feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Awesome! This is exactly what was needed.

One question. Will developers be able to edit the wiki? When I click "View Source" I am presented with: "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user."

Am I doing something wrong or is editing not open?

Zoasterboy: Thanks!

As I mentioned in my blog post, external contribution to the Wiki documentation is unavailable at this time.  We will eventually open it up for editing.  When that happens, we'll post another blog to let you all know.

Nice work :)

One grammar mistake I've seen so far... "Walkthroughs" is one word and does not have an apostrophe (in reference to "Category:Walk Through's") :P

I don't mean to start a thread on a silly topic here but "Walkthroughs" as one word is correct without an apostrophe. If you add an apostrophe, you are indicating a possessive on the word 'through' or 'walkthrough' (e.g. 'the walkthrough's text is correct'). I think the intention here is to specify plurality (i.e. 'these are our walkthroughs")

Oh, LOL, unless that was Daniiiiiel™ correcting your use of "Walk through's" instead of "Walkthroughs".

Looks like you already fixed it :)

Any word on when editing will go public?

Daniiiiiel™ said:

Yeah, haha, I was correcting the use of "Walk Through's". It was originally "Walk Through's", and my comment was saying that <b>Walkthroughs</b> is the <b>correct</b> spelling, I'm not very good at wording things correctly, my bad.

@ Zoasterboy

No word yet on editing.  When it is opened up to the public, we'll certainly make a big announcement.  :)
