-> The field gallery  description is way too small to add "Online record store. You need to be a registered artist with valid albums to sell on www.episonic.com to use this app"  * required Gallery Description too long

Is

"Online record store. You need to be a registered artist in www.episonic.com to use this app "

ok ? 

 c)The application URL has been refused 

The external domain has been set to http://www.episonic.com

What is wrong here ?

Hi,

 My apologies, your application should not have been denied for that reason. However, after looking at your application I was not able to find a place to login with my episonic name after registration.

You are right, you need to create a "record shop" in episonic. I will add that to the galery description but the description field really is VERY small. It should have at least 256 characters, come on ?

When nobody adds applications because there is no funky description why and what , what is alll that developer platform for ? 

Not sure what you mean.  Under My Apps > Edit App Information > Gallery Description, you can have over 256 characters.

 Hello,

is the maximum text I can enter into galery description. With one character more I receive "Galery Description too long" error.

As far as I can see this is 93 characters and 3 line breaks makes 96. Have you ever described a world moving application in 96 characters ?

Oh, okay I see what you are saying.  You can edit your app profile (like a user profile) if you need more copy/realestate.

Johnny 

Thank you for your tip. I have created a brief installation instruction to my profile page.

 I have subitted my app again and reveived this :

*	Issue/Request:  

1.     Your application requires an account to function yet has no way for account to connect with you application. The application only has a profile page stating that an account is needed. 

 This is not true : When you created an account and a record shop in episonic, you can use the widget. You can see that it works when you look at the profile of villalog (when you can see installed applicatios there) The application works as soon as you have created  an account in episonic and created a shop. Episonic has 2000 members and many of them want to use their rmyspace page to sell their music. They can easily register their shop in episonic. I can not create a full record shop creation application in myspace. What does the last.fm application do ? You need your last fm account to have it on myspace. that is exactly what episonic does, so where is the problem ?

From "last.fm events" widget :

"Display your upcoming events from Last.fm on your profile. Just enter your Last.fm username and go! "

 What is different in my page ? It is just the other way round, you need a user on www.episonic.com, set it up and then go !

I have updated my profile.

It now has a long explanation about my application in section "about me" but the application page does not show this information.

Where do I put my application information that everybody sees it easily?

 Ad FOX :

You do not need to login to episonic record shop. When you created a shop in episonic.com and named it after your myspace profile it will work automatically. There is no need for a login in my shop widget

I don't see anything in your About Me section.  Note you have to log in as the app and update the app's About section (not your own profile).

So from the App Home Surface, click Edit Profile > About.

Also, how do I register for an episonic account so that we can test your app?  episonic.com/iregister.php says to not register.

We just need a way to test the app.

Johnny 

 Hello Johnny,

 Thank you for your hints. I have now a fully functional profile page that you can access on www.myspace.com/episonicrecordshop 

I have also updated the www.episonic page

1. registration for myspace personal is ok for testing purpose

2.  I have also included a large section "myspace" in "info" of main menu

I hope that I can now meet your requirements to get my app registered.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

regards

M.Muncke

I've created a shop on EPISONIC.COM with the requested name as the application directs.

However, the application still does not load my shop.

For this reason, your app has been denied.

Johnny 

 Hello Johnny,

Thank you for taking so much time to make sure only the best apps get approved.

In your case I tested my app in the app test area with your shopname and it comes up as expected. It displays a single album by turbo deli as you selected for your shop. I have installed the shop in myspace.com/villalog. There it also comes up.

I do not see the application installed on myspace.com/villalog.

Johnny 

 hmmm what can we do when you do not see what I see (and we dont suspect each other to be a liar)

When you are not logged in you can not see the app because it is not approved. I can see it and it works and it also worked on the testing area in MDP.

please see  http://www.villalog.com/eshop.gif

What do you see when you do not see anything, an empty frame ? the message "waiting..."  ? a database error ? a network failure ? do you see the "episonic  record shop " - frame?

 strange ....

Marc Muncke

Ah, I can see the app now, but I am still unable to set up the store in my own profile.

Please provide step by step instruction on how to navigate through EPISONIC.COM so that the store will be set up on my MySpace profile.

Johnny
