I want users to pass an url to the app.

Device — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:44:21 GMT

Hi,

I want that users can pass on a URL to their frds that will open up the apps that is developed by us. [canvas surface]

We need to trace who the referrer was and who is being referred.

We want to reward users for doing this.

FYI, our canvas is HTML/Javascript

The problem is that if we add a referreral code in query string, its not possible to get into the canvas, as its loaded in an iframe.

What could be done to obtain variable from querystring?

Thanks in advance.

AppParams get lost if user isn't logged in or has to install app

Andre Wussow — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:27:11 GMT

Hi all,

i have discovered a problem with AppParams. Via AppParams i can for example post a link into an activity feed with some special params. But if a user clicks on it, who doesn't have the app installed, he gets ask to install the application and after that process, the appParams are gone ... This problems also happens if a users session is expired and he has to relogin.

Are there any ideas to solve this behaviour?

Thanks in advance,

André

requestSendMessage() and Firefox 3.5

Ram — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 09:02:18 GMT

Our company has been runing GigFlyer app (app-id=134690) for some time. Amongst other things, the app sends messages using sendSendMessage() and everything was working OK. We have just discovered that it doesn't work anymore on Firefox 3.5. To be more specific, calling requestSendMessage() doesn't open the send-dialog-box and doesn't call the callback method (the callback is of course one of the params of requestSendMessage()).

I've setup another app called FirstDrift (app-id=119118), so you can take a look at the problem. It's a hardcoded version of GigFlyer that mainly doesn't need to call the our servers and always send a message to me. This app has the same behavior as GigFlyer, i.e. it send a message using older Firefox, but not using 3.5.

Please help ASAP as we are experiencing support calls about this issue.

10x,
Ram.

Perhaps i am just ignorant.

Chris, wins! — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:25:56 GMT

Ive taken my time going in and out of googled web pages, and developer nonesense. reading the javascripts, and over all just being confused.

i have tried multiple examples, and end up with nothing.

While im very good with php, and javascript, learning open social, is just like the old days of learning prototype.

I am very confused on pretty much all of it.

i cant even get out someones simple id with my socail i use the request actions, and request friend id like all the examples out there show, ive even copied and pasted, out of shire anger.

I cant get any open social JS to work for me.

real working examples, would be amazing.

all the ones i have found are either out dated or just dont work.

gadgets.rpc is undefined?

Stretch — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:20:46 GMT

I have some source code that is using makeRequest to get some data from an off-site location. However, when it tries to do this, I'm getting a javascript error stating that "gadgets.rpc is undefined". I am not explicitly calling this in my code, so it must be something in the core. Does anyone know how to correct this? Source code follows:

OpenSocial problem

valts — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:18:00 GMT

Hello!

I am struggling for several days but can`t get Opensocial to work with myspace. I have this javascript code:

SORCE PAGE http://afrika.draugiem.lv/opensocial/canvas.php

response(data) returns Object responseItems_=Object globalError_=true and person = null

And one more thing, i read a thred in forum about switching Preferred OpenSocial Version from 7.0 to 8.0 is it fixed ? Because it seems to allways go back to 7.0

requestSendMessage and requestShareApp are broken on Safari

Bemmu — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:12:21 GMT

I noticed requestSendMessage and requestShareApp don't do anything anymore when called on Safari (3.1.2). It's not just me, "Own Your Friends" and "Movies" invites are also defunct.

Here is my minimal test code that breaks on Safari:

var body = "Some message.";
var title = "This will be ignored but can't be undefined.";
var reason = opensocial.newMessage(body); reason.setField(opensocial.Message.Field.TITLE, title);
var recipient_array = ['myspace.com:85628343'];
opensocial.requestShareApp(recipient_array, reason, function() { });

Expected result is that an invite form pops up, and it works on Firefox. However on Safari, nothing happens. I strongly recall this working before.

IFPC_externalIframe005.js and Activity.

Serge — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:23:22 GMT

Good day,

I'm trying the create activity request from my Application (knight-serge, it is a non-published IFrame application.). In my settings for this application the checkbox "Automatically publish activity updates from this app " is checked. The OS version is 0.7.

To create an activity request I follow steps from external iFrame example: http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=124833

But when I'm calling container.requestCreateActivity(activity, priority, opt_callBack), I got a confirm popup message with title "Publish Friend Update", asking me:

"knight-serge wants to publish the following Activities:
You can turn off your Activity Stream from the app settings page"

I have some questions about this popup:

1.    Is there way to create an activity request without any popups? I need this feature working without any user's actions.
2.    The text of the activity in the popup is empty (I have created the template and set it's title to params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.TITLE_ID]). What can be wrong?
3.    The callback function is never called.
4.    There is no any message in my activity log on the profile page

This is how I'm trying to request the activity:

---------------------------

        var container = MyOpenSpace.MySpaceContainer.get();

        //Also LOW can be requested
        var priority = MyOpenSpace.CreateActivityPriority.HIGH;

        var params = {};

        var mediaItemArray = [;

        mediaItemArray.push(container.newMediaItem("", "http://api.myspace.com/v1/users/483503689"));

        params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.MEDIA_ITEMS] = mediaItemArray;


        //The name of the tamplate you created.
        params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.TITLE_ID] = "changedMotto";

        var parameters = {};
        //If your template requeire parameters
        parameters["actor"] = "483503689";
        parameters["motto"] = "Hello World!";
        parameters["lord"] = "483503689";

        params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.TEMPLATE_PARAMS] = parameters;

        var activity = container.newActivity(params);

        var opt_callBack = function(response){
           if (response.errorMessage){
              return;
           }
           switch (response){
              case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.ERROR:
                 break;
              case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.CANCELLED:
                 break;
              case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.SUCCESS:
                 break;
           }

        }

       container.requestCreateActivity(activity, priority, opt_callBack);
-----------

Template name is "changedMotto"
Template title is "${subject} ${actor} changed motto to "${motto}".
Template body is "${lord} proclaims motto is now "${motto}"."

The template preview looks nice.

-----------------------------------

Please, help me make the activity working. In 0.7 or 0.8 version.

Please help me with moving to 0.8

Serge — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:39:14 GMT

Good day,

I'm a novice in MySpace and trying to add Activity to my application. It did not work for me and after some researching I understood I was working in version 0.7. Ok, I moved to verion 0.8 in my application settings, but looks like I have to include 0.8 scripts.

I've found these script:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/0.8/gadgets.v08.86.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/0.8/opensocial.v08.91.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/0.8/myopenspace.v08.164.js'></script>

But when I'm trying to run scripts from the Template Editor, I have different JavaScript errors inside myopenspace.v08.164.js and I'm not sure I use the last versions.

Please, help me found answers to these questions:

1. Is there description of http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/0.8 directory somewhere? Are there any notifications about the new versions?

2. What scripts I have to add to be able to work with Activity?

3. What scripts I have to add to be able to work with adjustHeight ? (http://x.myspacecdn.com/OpenSocial/IFPC_externalIframe004.js worked fine for me in 0.7).

Thank you very much in advance for any help and links,

Serge.

PeopleRequestFields.FIRST don't supported?

Andre Wussow — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:20:05 GMT

Hi all,

i'm trying to include paging in to my getUserFriends-Function. With PeopleRequest.Fields.Max i can get more than 20 friends, but how can i use paging if PeopleRequestFields.FIRST does not works?

Here is my code:

var idspec = opensocial.newIdSpec({ "userId": "VIEWER", "groupId": "FRIENDS" });
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();

var params = {};
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.MAX] = 5
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.FIRST] = 10

req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(idspec, params), "friendData");
req.send(this.processUserFriends);

As soon as i specify the FIRST-Params, i get an error ("Error calling method on NPObject!").

Any ideas or hints?

Thanks in advanced. Best regards,

André

Posibility to find out if user is a "real" user or an app?

Andre Wussow — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:06:28 GMT

Hi all,

i have a short question: Is it possible to find out if a user is a real person or an app? My app gets the friends of the user and for me it's important to find out who's a real person and who's an app. Currently i get both together when retrieving my friends.

In the specs i don't find a user-type flag or something similiar.

Thanks in advanced.

Best regards,

André

Problems with sending messages

Andre Wussow — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:46:35 GMT

Hi,

i have a problem with sending messages: I use the following snippet:

var params = [ ];
    params[opensocial.Message.Field.TITLE] = "Test-Subject";
    params[opensocial.Message.Field.TYPE] =
          opensocial.Message.Type.EMAIL;

    var message = opensocial.newMessage("Just a test", params);
    var recipient = "VIEWER";
    opensocial.requestSendMessage(recipient, message, function (data) { alert(data.hadError()) });

I get no error, but also no message is sent.

Has anyone an idea? Thanks in advanced.

newFetchPeopleRequest, First and Max not working...

Sanjeev — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:27:01 GMT

I'm trying to implement paging for retrieving friends. However the friends list always contains friends 1 to 20. The API does not return other pages, no matter how the values are set for PeopleRequestFields.MAX and PeopleRequestFields.FIRST. I'm using OS 0.8.

My code is as follows - I'm setting MAX to 40 and first to 41. I tried all combinations (max=20, first=3, max=20, first=61) but the result remains the same. Value for total friends returned in 117.

---------------------------

var params = {}; params[opensocial.IdSpec.Field.USER_ID] = opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.VIEWER; params[opensocial.IdSpec.Field.NETWORK_DISTANCE] = 1; params[ opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.FIRST] = 41; //params[ opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.MAX ] = 40; // create the idspec. var idspec = opensocial.newIdSpec(params); req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(idspec), "viewerFriends"); // ashwin code end req.send(handleInviteFriends);

----------------------------

Is this an unfixed bug in Core API?

weird error.

var indicatorsResponse = MyOpenSpace.MySpaceContainer.prototype.newFetchIndicatorsRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.OWNER,param);

suddenly that line of code no longer works..

Open Social Error

Mike Lollis — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:11:24 GMT

I am in the process of developing an app and everything was going great. However, one day when I logged on I encountered an error with open social and I do not know why.

I am trying to get the users friends who have the app installed, this is the code:

var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
var params = {};
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.FILTER] = opensocial.DataRequest.FilterType.HAS_APP;
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.FIRST] = 1;
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.MAX] = 40;
req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.Group.VIEWER_FRIENDS, params));
req.send(installedFriends);

The error is coming from "req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.Group.VIEWER_FRIENDS, params));"

I did not change anything before this happened. My theory is that one of the scripts is not loading properly. I use this same code with other apps and it works fine.

Please Help

P.S. Sometimes it says that the error is in "ad_wrapper0140.js (line 1)"

Testing my first app, caching and checking the app is installed

Braindeaf — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:35:25 GMT

Hi there, I'm working on my first MySpace app and I'm running into two problems. While I can publish (well set to pending and I can install it in my profile) my 'Hello, <user who happens to be looking at my page>' when I make minor changes to the app source, in my case adding <h1>App Blah</h1> the changes don't reflect on the app I have installed on my profile, even if I remove and re-add the app they stay the same. Is there some kind of caching going on? At least until the app is fully published?

Also if I was a logged in user visiting a friend's myspace page who has for example the "Blah" app installed, is there a way to estalish if the user viewing the page has the app installedon their profile through an API or opensocial call. I guess like finding the current user's installed apps. I'd like the app to behave in different ways depending on the state of the viewer of the app and the state of the user who's profile the viewer is taking a look at.

Many thanks

opensocial token timeout

Peter — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:31:33 GMT

The opensocial token seems to expire after about 10 minutes.

I post a message, something like this:

var os_token = MyOpenSpace.MySpaceContainer.OSToken;
var os = opensocial.Container.get();

os.postTo(os_token, message, ownerData);

This works fine during the first 10 minutes, but fails with an "Oops" message after that.

I am doing this from my IFRAME app, I am guessing that might be an issue here.

Is there another way for me to obtain a valid OSToken from my iframe app ? Or can the timeout be set to a higher value ?

thx

Call to determine if profile page or home page?

RomanticCards — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:24:17 GMT

Is there a call to determine if the current page is the profile page or the home page? That way I can use the same code in both surfaces and just do something like: if (is_home_surface) { ... home stuff ... } else { ... profile stuff ... }.
