PostTo for IFramed Apps

login problems inside the iFrame

Zach — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:45:30 GMT

I have an app that is fully functional outside of the iFrame through www.ratemyexam.com, but inside the iFrame on myspace, I am unable to use the login controls. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this

I am using asp.net to develop my app using the standard membership controls.

Multi-invite problem

Serge — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:26:46 GMT

Good day,

We use multi-friend invitation in our IFrame application. The users can send maximum 10 invitations per time, we receive the callback from container.requestShareApp and everything seems to be fine except one unpleasant thing - some of invitations are failed. We receive the list of failed invitations in response.ResponseValues.failure field, but we don't know *reason* of the errors. The invitaions receivers seem to be real people and the senders make only 10 and less invitations. The typical situation is: the user sends 10 invitaions and 1 of them is failed. The response.errorMessage field is always empty, so, we can't explain to our users why they can't invite particular friends.

The questions are:

1. Is there way to define reason of the failed invitation?
2. What are the typical reasons of failed invitations? I know one of them - the invited user has already installed the application, but we do not show to the sender such friends

Thank you very much in advance for any answers/ideas/suggestions
Serge.

All postTo functions disabled?

Kevin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:25:14 GMT

Hi,

It seems all postTo functions on my iframe app, Dog Wars (http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=130744&friendId=450619115) have suddenly stopped working. Users can no longer invite friends or post bulletins at all. It seems it just stopped working a few hours ago, I haven't made any changes to the code in a while. Is this just a temporary problem or did something change that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,

Kevin

Multi-Invite limit for iframe apps stuck at 10?

Kevin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:51:04 GMT

Hi,

I read the blog post that said that the multi-invite limit had been pushed to 20, but it still seems to be stuck at 10 for iframe apps. Can this be pushed to 20 for iframe apps too?

The app in question is dog wars, http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=130744

Thanks,

Josh

requestShareApp doesn't worked.

kevin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 05:44:00 GMT

A few days ago, requestShareApp doesn't worked.

Even if I've fixed code as http://developer.myspace.com/Community/blogs/devteam/archive/2009/07/31/fix-for-appinvites-and-iframe-app.aspx,

It doesn't worked.

Please, anyone let me know why & how to fix it !!!

Is there a limit to how many invites can be sent at a time? It doesn't look like I'm able to send more than 10.

postTo on Internet Explorer

RTM — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:16:48 GMT

Hello,

First of all, congratulations on the effort you have put on the documentation wiki and the forums as well!

I have implemented postTo on my iframed application following the guide on the wiki (http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=How_to_access_JavaScript_libraries_from_an_IFrame). It works fine on Firefox and Safari, however on IE it seems to 'choke': the popup window appears, but when the user clicks on send, the window is still there. The recipient does get a message though, but the problem is for the sender, because since the window doesn't dissappear, a message gets sent for every click on 'Send'. Clicking on 'Cancel' doesn't get rid of the window neither, user has to reload the page.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Thanx.

iifpc and iframe issue

umusix_dev — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:51:43 GMT

Hello all,

I have an iframed application and part of it lists the users friends and allows the user to invite his/her friends to use this application. I am using the myspacel_php5_20080317 library in order to retrieve the list of friends and I am using the IFPC application for examples on how to make the "invite to use app calls".

My problem is this:

On the canvas page I have three options: html/javascript, inline flash, and external iframe. What I do is i put my iframe in the html/javascript (just using an <IFRAME></IFRAME>tag)and that lets my php library access my friends list BUT the IFPC calls don't work.

If I choose to put the link to my application in the external iframe option then my IFPC calls work BUT my php library throws an error:

Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '404'.....Rogue request trapped,

So even though I can make ifpc calls they are completly useless because I can't get my friends list.

Any suggestions???? I really need help and if this has to do with oauth authentication please let me know how to do it because I have absolutly no idea.

Thank you in advance.

ifpc open social token not set

umusix_dev — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:52:54 GMT

hey guys.

I downloaded the ifpc demo and put all of the include files and such and what I am trying to do is when a user selects a friend from a list provided to him the application posts a comment on that friends page.

I get the list of friends using REST calls but my problem is that when I call my postTo method it gives me a: error: Open social token not set.

Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code:

THE CODE TO GET ALL OF THE FRIENDS

<?php
                $myspace = new MySpaceAPI($consumer_key,$consumer_secret);
                $friendArray = $myspace->get_friends($platformId);

                //$resourceToken = $myspace->OAuthToken->get_authorization_url("http://www.undergroundmusix.com/myspaceapp/umusix_php/container.php5",$requestToken);
                // $resourceToken = $myspace->OAuthToken->get_authorization_url("http://www.explosm.net",$requestToken);
                // $result = $myspace->OAuthToken->get_access_token();
                // $friends = $myspace->People->get_people_friends($platformId);

                $friend = $friendArray["friends"];
                foreach($friend as $f){
                    echo(' <li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all friend" title="Your Friend" id='.$f['userid'].'>');
                    echo($f['displayname']);
                    echo('<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-plus inviteFriend" title= "Invite Friend" id='.$f['userid'].'></span>');
                    echo('</li>');
                }
                ?>

using jquery i link the onclick even to call my post to function:

POST TO FUNCTION:

POST DATA

stephane arcos — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:48:12 GMT

Hello, I am trying to POST a form to my server but it does not work. Because I have to always use this method to go from page to page, right ? :

 function goToPage(page){
        var container = MyOpenSpace.MySpaceContainer.get();
        var qryString = container.getQueryString();
        window.location = page + "?" + qryString;
    }

so in my form, action is something like this :

But it does a redirect it does not submit the data !! What should I do ? Does someone manage to use forms with their IFrame - Rest app ? Thank you.

Share App through Iframe (IFPC) Not Working?

Steve — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:28:48 GMT

Was something changed? Our app's share with a friend was working fine a day ago, now today it just comes up as "Your invitation was successfully sent", but nothing gets sent, and there is no confirmation. I also tried the demo, and it seems to be doing the same thing.

Changing IFRAME Height

TYLER Projects — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:39:29 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the MySpaceAPI client from:
http://msappplatform.appspot.com/libs/myspace-da-php-download.zip

My Application is an IFramed App and certain pages are cutoff by the frame.

I've searched in the forum and it seems the way is to use this:

gadgets.window.adjustHeight(3000);

Howeve, since I'm using the MySpaceAPI and not OpenSocial, how do I use this?

What are the JS files needed to make this call work?

Thanks!

Iframe and Friend Picker

Faizan — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:58:00 GMT

Did some one managed to make MyOpenSocial FriendPicker widget work in external iframe?

I tried using code provided on DEMO MyOpenSpace v0.7 Friend Picker application. In my app it shows Click for recipient button but when I click it, noting happens after some time it shows alert box saying "Time loading friends".

MyOpenSpace.Widgets.Bootstrapper.createWidget("MyOpenSpace.Widgets.FriendPicker", 
	function(p){window.friendPicker = p;},
	{
		element: "pickerDivID01",
		buildSelectedUI: true
	});

Is it possible to make it work in Iframe or it only works from HTML/Javascript source?

requestShareApp callback authentication?

Kevin — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:17:22 GMT

Hi,

I've got the IFPC libraries working but I was wondering about certain authentication methods - let's say a user sends out 10 invites with postTo and I want to know how many invites were successfully sent out. I'm assuming this information is included in the javascript callback function. Will I then have to post this data to my server asynchronously (allowing the user to tamper with the data) or is there some way to do this server side?

Thanks!

Where to Start? Invite friends to install external iFrame app.

DJ Catalyst — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:37:47 GMT

I have an app that runs on my own server, at its own URL, etc. You can go to it directly to play, no MySpace required. I put it on MySpace as an iFrame app simply to expose it to potential users. It doesn't use any OpenSocial features. Well now I'd like users to be able to invite their friends to install the app like you see in just about every app on MySpace. Basically a page with all your friends' pics on it and the ability to invite those friends to install the app.

I just don't know where to start. I've looked all over at tutorials on OpenSocial and they all seem to be for non-iframe apps. In other words... they jump right into lines like...

var dataRequest = opensocial.newDataRequest();

...without having a line like...

How do I access OpenSocial from my javascript? Can I even do this with an iframe app or should I be studying up on this REST thing instead of (or in addition to) OpenSocial? I just need to be pointed in the right direction... what am I even trying to do, what does it, and where do I learn about it? I'm completely lost. I'm using ASP.NET, C#, and Javascript if that matters...

Error:Open social token not set.

AwesomeApps — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:47:25 GMT

I was trying to post a bulletin from an ifram app. I followed the IFPC demo and instructions. I implemented the code the same way it was in the demo app but I keep getting the error "Error: Open social token not set." every time I execute the Javascript function. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

adjustHeight() and requestCreateActivity() not working in IE7

Faizan — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:22:17 GMT

I'm using IFPC_externalIframe003.js library for my IFrame application. Every thing is working fine in Firefox but in IE7 container.adjustHeight() and requestCreateActivity() gives this error (Internet explorer could not open the internet site http://canvas_url Operation Aborted). and then explorer show (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage) error page.

Also postTo() is working fine in IE7.

Anyone know how to fix this or what problem is causing this error?

Authenticating the request is coming from myspace with PHP valid Signature

Kyron — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:01:40 GMT

Hello.

I'm developing my first app. I'm using an iframe that points to my php page on my server. I'm able to get the user id pics friends etc. but what I want to do currently is Authenticate the request. Make sure that the request came from myspace and that the signature is valid. simple? it should be but i've been stuck for this two weeks now. This is the latest code i've tried. I've tried everything and all of them generate a different signature than the one i'm getting in the query string:

<?php

require_once("myspace/MySpaceAPI.php");
require_once("myspace/Config.php");
    if($_GET[opensocial_viewer_id])
    {
        $remote_signature = $_GET['oauth_signature'];
        foreach( $_GET as $key => $val )
        if( !isset( $_POST[ $key ] ) )
                    $_POST[ $key ] = $val;

        $local_signature = OAuthRequest::from_request()->build_signature(
                            new OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1(),
                            new OAuthConsumer( "http://www.myspace.com/441547776", "muyappsecretwhiclookslikethisc825dddaa5730378d"),
                            new OAuthToken(null,null)
                   );


        if ($remote_signature == $local_signature)   //check local generated signature and remote signature passed by myspace
        {
            echo "ok";
        }
print "<pre>\n";

print "\nContents of \$_GET:\n";
foreach ($_GET as $k => $v) {
   print "   $k = $v\n";
}
if ($remote_signature == $local_signature) {
  print "USER IS VALID\n";
  print("Remote Sig: ".$remote_signature."\n");
  print("Local Sig: ".$local_signature."\n");
} else {
  print "USER IS NOT VALID\n";
  print("Remote Sig: ".$remote_signature."\n");
  print("Local Sig: ".$local_signature."\n");
}print "</pre>\n";
    }

The output looks like this:

Contents of $_GET:
   appid = 124029
   country = US
   installState = 1
   lang = en
   oauth_consumer_key = http://www.myspace.com/441547776
   oauth_nonce = 633678043106220514
   oauth_signature = bVgZPHWWd3QASKbE47eUuyBZDw8=
   oauth_signature_method = HMAC-SHA1
   oauth_timestamp = 1232207510
   oauth_version = 1.0
   opensocial_owner_id = 35186839
   opensocial_surface = canvas
   opensocial_token = dqS2SVsa5OANo6Bk7F/cQ5KaJ/xGVlv5grKWZWbFPGLNBsH64peUW0JznJAYJwh2Jv0COu5q08nXP6i/ARGiHnX a K2z6rrOPvyKwJBXAQ=
   opensocial_viewer_id = 35186839
   ownerId = 35186839

USER IS NOT VALID
Remote Sig: bVgZPHWWd3QASKbE47eUuyBZDw8=
Local Sig: dwZB/bBeVHSxR+hzZ5AyWzWlePk=

I bet that someone already solved this, but I haven't been able to find working code, your help is grealtly appreciated.

Iframe and IFPC external Iframe Library

rondata — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:03:25 GMT

Hi guys,
I started this forum for support with Iframe apps. I'm hoping we can use this to address current iFrame issues and the IFPC external libraries that you nice folks have agreed to help us with.

Right now we have 2 versions of the library which I am sending out to those who want to try it.
• V2 - The first one addresses postto and sending notifications.
• V3 - The second one adds activities and permissions.

If you'd like to help us test these libraries and would like an advance copy, contact me at rrondeau at myspace dot com

I am also hoping since you folks are all working your apps the same way that we might have some peer support. Maybe another developer might recognize a problem that you are having and be able to help.

Anyway, as always feel free to message me directly!

Rhonda

Validate User Security through oauth_signature in Iframe application

Imran — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 07:08:37 GMT

Hi,

I am having a problem to validate userin iframe application. I have found lot of stuff like below but that all not working for me.

   $security_key=""; //my myspace secret key
   //User Authentication
    $this_url = strtolower('http://www.mydomain.com/test-auth.php'); //the url to this page
    $myspace_secret=""; //your myspace secret key
    $skeleton_key="xxxxxx"; //your encryption key can be changed to whatever
    $test_mode =0; //change to 1 if you want to print out ids to test script

    $opensocial_viewer_id=$_GET['opensocial_viewer_id'];
    $oauth_signature=$_GET['oauth_signature'];

    // check the sigs and make sure its the real deal
    $remote_signature = $_GET['oauth_signature'];
    unset($_GET['oauth_signature']);
    ksort($_GET);
    $url=urlencode($this_url);
    $g_me=urlencode(http_build_query($_GET));
    $base_string = "GET&$url_me&$g_me";
    $secret = "$myspace_secret&";
    $local_signature = base64_encode(hash_hmac("sha1", $base_string, $secret, TRUE));

    //if its real do it
    if ($remote_signature == "$local_signature"){
    $token=mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_3DES, $skeleton_key, $opensocial_viewer_id, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT);
    //if we are in testing mode
    if($test_mode =='1'){
    $test=mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_3DES, $skeleton_key, $token, MCRYPT_DECRYPT);
    $feed=fopen($opensocial_viewer_id,"w");
    fwrite($feed,"$opensocial_viewer_id|$oauth_signature|$local_signature|$token|$test");
    fclose($feed);
    }else{
    echo 'test';
    //now its live mode
    $feed=fopen($opensocial_viewer_id,"w");
    fwrite($feed,"$opensocial_viewer_id|$oauth_signature|$local_signature|$token");
    fclose($feed);
    } // end modes

Is there any better way to validate user?
Thanks
