Fix For appInvites and IFrame app

We’ve heard from a few developers that they are currently experiencing a few issues with Application Invites in the v0.7 container and PostTo for IFrame based applications. We take all platform issues seriously and your feedback and cooperation are paramount for the success of our platform.  We are working on getting the fixes out from our end, but in the meanwhile we wanted to alert you to the fix you can do from your end now.
 
For purely onsite applications:
When creating the Message object that you pass to requestShareApp make sure to include a value for TITLE (cannot be undefined):
 
// create the rSA message
var body = "Some message.";
var title = "This will be ignored but can't be undefined.";
       
// create an opensocial.Message object
var reason = opensocial.newMessage(body); reason.setField(opensocial.Message.Field.TITLE, title);
 
// initiate requestShareApp
opensocial.requestShareApp(recipient_array, reason, your_callback_func);
 
For IFrame applications:
You’ll have to change your reference to our IFrame Kit – This is mandatory as there is not a fix from our side for this.  Rest assured that appropriate actions are being taken to mitigate this from happening in the future.
 
Before you needed the following scripts included:
 
<script src="http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/references/gadgets003.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://x.myspacecdn.com/modules/common/static/js/Apps/ifpc003.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://x.myspacecdn.com/modules/common/static/js/Apps/json001.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/IFPC_externalIframe004.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 
Replace with:
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/RPC/RpcContainer.000.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/RPC/RpcContainer.003.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="IFPC_externalIframe005.js" ></script>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
gadgets.rpc.setRelayUrl('..', 'http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/rpc_relay.aspx');            
</script>
 
Code for IFPC_externalIframe005.js can be found HERE .
 
We have updated our sample application for reference.
 
After we have the fix out for appInvites to handle the missing Title you can go back to not including it if you choose.
 
We are deeply committed to the MySpace Open Platform and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’re working hard to get a fix out now.

requestShareApp is still broken.  Even after adding this TITLE option it still breaks.  Its all over myspace -- broken dialogs.  ITS MIND BLOWING that you guys dont see the thousands of requestShareApp errors on your site.

Example after you click send on an invite:

Mobsters,      BLOCKED EXPRESSION  , and Vamps will not let me send any invites out to anyone. Thanks for your efforts. Please help fix these.

Hey guys,

It seems there are still problems with Internet Explorer (iframe apps) - after sending an invite the whole page goes blank, and the multi-invite box just doesn't respond when the send button is pressed. It may be my implementation, but was wondering if anyone else is having the same issues after applying this fix?

I was able to fix the IE bug for bulletins, messages, and comment posts from my iframe app by wrapping every call in a setTimeout, but I am still seeing a problem with the multi-invite box that I haven't figured out a way to fix yet.

My apps are still not letting me send invites, some are asking for CAPTCHA and when I enter them there is an error. The errors happen on some of my invites as well.

This problem with App invites began 30 JUL 2009, at about 08:00 (est).  From what I've seen, it affects, ALL programs which requires invitations with comments.  I'm supprised that this issue has not been fixed. ... I continue to get the "Oops!" screen, after sending the invite/comment, but have noticed that if the "TEXT" block is empty, then the recipient will recieve the item.  If I type text into the comment block, then they will not recieve the message. (hope this info helps someone)

Just flat stupid to have a max of 20 friends in the top. First of all I can not even get 20 to show up. Mine is stuck at 14 and that is it. the boxes all show up in red with no photos anymore and the only place the rest of my friends show up is on the Home page. Why does MySpace make it so difficult to play the games? Face Book is so much easier and I have 80 neighbors there. What is the major malfunction with this site?

Iam not able to send app invites to my friends.

My application is not published yet, but is it  the reason why iam not able to send app invites?

I tried every possible option with my iframe, including the code from here:

wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php

But iam getting error: "Oops.... problem fulfilling your request".

Is there any problem with the library, or the myspace, or my code?

Iam really getting frustrated. No solution since a month !

Its horrible, who can understand me ?
