Activities

Activity type list

Andrew — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:49:53 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a list of all the activity types. I found this list:
http://developerwiki.myspace.com/index.php?title=ActivityStream_Queries#Activity_Types

But it doesn't seem to include 'PhotoDelete' for example, is there another list of all the activity types in the documentation somewhere?

thanks,
Andrew

looks like a bug ...

how can you get your friends activities via MySpace SDK for Java

Mustafa — Sun, 15 May 2011 20:02:30 GMT

hi everybody,

i am new to this topic, researched a lot, but not on the right way?..and thats why no very successfull :(

this is my code yet:

OffsiteContext c = new OffsiteContext(key, secret);
c.setAccessToken(new OAuthToken(accessTokenKey, accessTokenSecret));

String id = c.getUserId();

String activities = r.getActivitiesAtom(id);

out.println(activities);

this enables me to get my own activities.

String friendsActivities = r.getActivitiesAtom(friendId);

out.println(friendsActivities);

but unfortunatelly this doesnt work :(

posting an activity with succes but it does not appear anywhere

Beto — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:25:22 GMT

hi guys:
i am facing a little problem, and i want to know if you can give me a hint of what is going on. i am able to post activites from my app apparently successfuly. BUT the activities never show up in my profile page. the same thing is happening with the sample application (External iFrame IFPC call Demo, id 124833), from where i extracted the basic code.

any advice is welcome.

thanks!!

EDIT: one more thing, it seems to ignore my settings, asking me all the times when i want to publish the activity.

error: Unknown RPC service: postTo

Ricardo — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 17:20:07 GMT

hi:

i created a template for my app activitie.
the i copied the code from the (working) sample appplication (http://www.myspace.com/games/play/124833?pm_cmp=mdp_124833_AppCanvas_SignedIn) for app activities. but my code dies logging "Unknown RPC service: postTo" in console.

the app URL is:
http://www.myspace.com/games/play/197351?pm_cmp=mdp_197351_97

after it loads the game, when you "help" a citizen and click "CoMpartir" (share in spanish), we call this js code, that you will see, is very similar to the sample, just that this doesnt work, and give me that error :/

this.postear = function(mensaje, attachments, arrayLinks, targetId, tipoDePosteo, callBack) {
    var container = MyOpenSpace.MySpaceContainer.get();
    var priority = MyOpenSpace.CreateActivityPriority.HIGH;
    var params = {};
    params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.TITLE_ID] = "twnr_tpl";

    params[MyOpenSpace.Activity.Field.TEMPLATE_PARAMS] = {"mensaje":"PRUEBAAAAAAA"};

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

    var activity = container.newActivity(params);

    var opt_callBack = function(response){
      console.log(response);
      var resultsDiv = document.getElementById('activitiesResult');
      if (resultsDiv.style.color == "Blue"){
        resultsDiv.style.color = "Red";
      }
      else{
        resultsDiv.style.color = "Blue";
      }
      if (response.errorMessage){
        resultsDiv.innerHTML = "Error:" + response.errorMessage;
        return;
      }

      switch (response){
        case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.ERROR:
          resultsDiv.innerHTML = "Error";
        break;
        case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.CANCELLED:
          resultsDiv.innerHTML = "Cancelled";
        break;
        case MyOpenSpace.PostTo.Result.SUCCESS:
          resultsDiv.innerHTML = "Success";
        break;
      }
    }

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

Which is the correct way to include media items in an Activity request?

Rodolfo Carvalho — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 19:05:27 GMT

Hi folks, I'm having problems on attaching media items to an activity request, but it is not working. The details: I'm developing a MySpace IFrame app, which needs to attach some public images from app owner's album (I'm a developer, not the owner). Which is the format which I should pass the url for the method newMediaItem?

Auto activity publishing (missing images)

Grega — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:49:40 GMT

Hi! I have activity publishing problem on one of my apps(id 158849). The problem are images that are not being published to the stream if user has "Publish activities to my stream without prompting for approval each time" checked. Activity however is published but without images. If user's auto publish to stream isn't checked the images appear on confirmation popup and also in published activity on homepage. Thanks for help !

Publishing an Activity using the REST api through the C# SDK erroring with 401 Unathorized

Anna — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:54:02 GMT

I am getting the following error when trying to post an activity "Application does not have permission to add new resources."

(header x-opensocial-error: Application does not have permission to add new resources.)

I called http://api.myspace.com/roa/09/activities/@me/@self/@app?format=xml with the xml below. If I do a GET on the url it works and I get back information. I checked my users permissions and every permission available was granted.

<title>osapi test activity at</title>

<body>osapi test activity body</body>

<titleId>TemplateTest</titleId>

</Activity>

My application (190897)and my template are both "Live"

Any help would be appreciated.

Errors publishing to activity streams with activity templates

GetGlue — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:23:25 GMT

I'm getting error responses when calling the requestCreateActivity method to post an activity to the stream.

The error I'm getting is this: "You do not have permission to send an activities. Send updates to friends permission is required."

The activity template I'm using is published, and also works without issue for other users. It is just myself that is seeing the error. Is it a problem with my account? Thanks for any help.

Empty 409 response when posting Activities

Matt — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:03:34 GMT

I'm trying to post an activity, and I frequently get 409 responses with no body. Here's an example request and response (with Authorization and CLIENT-IP headers omitted).

Activity erratic behaviour?

Alex — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:04:57 GMT

Hello, I've created a test app which uses the opensocial js to create activities.

The activities created are not always visible on the activity stream page although the status returned is succes (e.g. hadErrors = false ).

The aggregate activity also don't seem to work on my test app even though I 'enabled' the template to show aggregate activity.

Sometimes the activity shows up instantly, sometime it doesn't show at all.

Need some advice here [:'(]

use external template?

Alexander — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:47:15 GMT

is there a possibility to use activities without the myspace template generator?

i would like to use the activity also on another social media plattform.

i tried writing my own template using

params[opensocial.Activity.Field.TITLE_ID] = "LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG";

// mesage bundle in module prefs

<messagebundle>
<msg name="LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG">
listen to a song!
</msg>
</messagebundle>

but there's always the error:

" Template 'LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG' is not defined for AppId 182799"

maybe someone can help me out.

Max 160 = not more than 160 (including white space)

& — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:51:04 GMT

Hey folks, (and Playdom)

When you raise activities make sure you stay under the restrictions. So title is max 160 and that includes white space (line breaks, returns, \r\n etc)

Details for App 104283, Template first_mission_completed, Code ExceedTitleDisplayText, Message = Template title 'Brian Morales Sr. has completed the "Convenience Store Robbery" mission in Mobsters.
Play Mobsters, commit

missions, and build your own global crime syndicate!' exceeds the max visible length of 160.

Just remove your line breaks and you should be good

Multiple activities of the same template are not posting

Dmitry Semenov — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:25:16 GMT

Hi, I call the same procedure to post the activity http://screencast.com/t/MjJmY2IzNDI I expect several of them appeared, but the problem is that I'm getting only one all the time. It rewrites the previous one. Saying "Posted: x seconds ago" how can I have multiple activities posted?


$batch = $this->osapi->newBatch();// Create an activity (you could add osapiMediaItems to this btw)
$activity = new osapiActivity(null, null);
$activity->setField('title', 'osapi test activity at ' . time());
$activity->setField('body', 'osapi test activity body');// Myspace requires some addtional things to be set.
$msParameters = array();
$msParameters[ = array("key"=>"subject", "value"=>$subject);
$msParameters[ = array("key"=>"message", "value"=>$message);
$activity->setField('templateParams', $msParameters);
$activity->setField('titleId', 'Template_1');
$create_params = array('userId' => $playerID, 'groupId' => '@self', 'activity' => $activity, 'appId' => $this->fv['appid']);
$batch->add($this->osapi->activities->create($create_params), 'createActivity');
$result = $batch->execute();



Friends Activities are not shown
AppBuilder — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:21:14 GMT
The "Friends Activities" API feature does not work as described here:
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Standards_for_Activity_Streams
The user I am testing is id#417568345. The friend is id#357078459.
To test these features, I performed the following actions to the friend of the user that I am testing:
1. New App Added
2. New Group Added
3. Bulletin Added
None of the "Friends Activities" are returned by the /v1/users/{userId}/friends/activities.atom function. Here is the XML that is received:
---------------------------------
<feed xml:lang="en-US" xml:base="http://api.myspace.com/v1/users/417568345/friends/activities.atom" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><title type="text">Recent activities from your MySpace friends.</title><subtitle type="text">This feed contains all of the activities for the friends you are subscribed to on MySpace</subtitle><id>tag:myspace.com,2009:/user/417568345/friends/activities</id><rights type="text">Copyright (c) 2003-2009, MySpace.com</rights><updated>2010-02-14T20:15:52Z</updated><generator>FriendActivitiesSyndicationFeedFactory.1.1</generator><link rel="self" href="http://api.myspace.com/v1/users/417568345/friends/activities.atom"/></feed>
---------------------------------
The following Activities are not even displayed on the Friends/Activity Stream page (when logged into MySpace):
1. New App Added
2. New Group Added
What is really odd is that the "App" and "Group" activities ARE displayed when "Top Friends" is selected, but not when "All Friends" is selected. 
Isn't "Top Friends" supposed to be a subset of "All Friends"?



Can I get Activities for users other than the current user?
AppBuilder — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:34:06 GMT
Your documentation states that the activities API does the following: "Returns activities associated with the user specified by userId":
http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=GET_v1_users_userId_activities
If I submit any userid other than the current user, I get a "permission denied" message.
Is there any method to retrieve data for users other than the current user?



Activities and media items
Ellis — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:23:51 GMT
My application is live and activities only seem to work for myself as a developer.  The rest of our users are not seeing them at all on their home page or on profile pages, even though they are getting prompted by MySpace and posting the activity without error.  I have a feeling this has to do with media items attached to the activity.  There are three possibilities for locations of media items:
Application account album
Developer account album
Regular user account album
Right now we are using media items located in a fully public regular user's album.  Is this not possible?  If not, should they be in a developer's album or in the application's album?  Also, why is no error being displayed if these activites are not being posted?
 By the way, we are using IFPC to post the activities if this makes any difference.

unable to save/preview activity templates
Caca — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:25:29 GMT
I keep getting the following error when trying to save or preview my activity template:
 
Could not update template: href value does not match http://*.myspace.com/* ; href value does not match http://*.myspace.com/*
 
My template contains 2 different URLs of the form <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=...> so I don't understand what the problem is. I even get that error when I save my existing templates without even modifying them, so it appears as though something has changed on myspace's end.
Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Notification events to friends from my app
Adrian — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:55:06 GMT
hello,
How can I send notification events to friends from my app... i can not find any workable solution ....
tnx! 



Retrieving Activities
& — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:20:15 GMT
Application activity events from your friends will be shown on your Home Page and on your Friend Update page. Your Home Page will show a maximun of 50% of application events, and you will compete for this real estate with your fellow application developers. There is not much control you have in this area. 
You can also retrieve your events from your own application and show this on the application canvas page or on the profile page. Here is a little code sample that uses some jQuery to render the results:

<span id="status"></span>
<form>
  <fieldset>
    <label for="whom">Get application events for </label>
    <input type="radio" name="whom" value="viewer" checked="true"/>viewer<input type="radio" name="whom" value="owner" />or owner 
    <label for="justMyEvents">; show my events only</label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="justMyEvents" value="true" /> 
  </fieldset> 
</form> 
 <div id="activiesFeed">.</div><div id="feedTxtToHtml">.</div>
