  142. [19:59:50] <Aakash> hi
  143. [20:00:48] <Vamsi> hows it going .. ur app got approved ??

  145. [20:02:09] <Vamsi> Hi Jason
  146. [20:03:38] <Vamsi> thanks a lot for reviewing "Rajinikanth" app and sending me the recommendations .. we are trying to increase the social aspect of it now .. :) as per your recommendations :D
  147. [20:04:09] <Vamsi> jasonacooper do you have gtalk id ?
  148. [20:05:41] <jasonacooper> Hi Vamsi. If you need to get ahold of me personally, email is the best option. apijason@google.com
  149. [20:06:15] <Vamsi> oops i was adding u on api.jason@google.com
  150. [20:06:34] <Aakash> hey Jason :)
  151. [20:06:41] <jasonacooper> Hi Aakash.
  152. [20:08:48] <Aakash> any info on my app review ? xml is at http://j8.bitrhymes.com/tagme/tagme.xml
  153. [20:10:14] <jasonacooper> It should be complete today.
  154. [20:11:41] <Aakash> ok thanks!
  155. [20:12:30] <Aakash> an activity on app install is OK? because i don't think Orkut does it automatically.
  156. [20:13:01] <Aakash> the method has been discussed over here- http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-orkut/browse_thread/thread/3f476388eb905830/da23fdf663a30037
  157. [20:13:46] <jasonacooper> No, the guidelines prohibit updates on install.
  158. [20:14:05] <jasonacooper> Never post an update just because the user views an application. If they are viewing the app for the first time (i.e. they just installed the app) the app should not post an update because installing an app represents an orkut action, not an action within the application. Only post updates when a user does something meaningful within your application (e.g. changes status or beats a high score).
  159. [20:14:12] <jasonacooper> (from the guidelines)
  160. [20:14:30] <Aakash> oh ok,
  161. [20:15:26] <Vamsi> jason im getting viewer not null when we see the canvas as a viewer mode
  162. [20:15:46] <Vamsi> but its fine when i see the same as owner
  163. [20:16:20] <Vamsi> why is that so ?

  166. [20:17:15] <Vamsi> oops
  167. [20:17:35] <jasonacooper> By viewer, you mean viewer without the app?
  168. [20:17:55] <Aakash> the opensocial.Person.Field.STATUS returns the personal->headline field from profile, shouldn't it return the status message of user?
  169. [20:18:25] <Vamsi> viewer is not owner
  170. [20:19:20] <jasonacooper> Aakash: I did a test awhile back and it did return the status. Perhaps it's changed since then. I'll do another test soon.

  173. [20:20:19] <jasonacooper> Vamsi: viewer should not be null but you should handle this just in case.
  174. [20:22:02] <Vamsi> when viewer is posting updates on an app where wud that updates go ??
  175. [20:22:52] <jasonacooper> Vamsi: I'm not sure I understand. By updates, are you referring to activities or app data?
  176. [20:23:34] <jasonacooper> Have you tried opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER instead of 'VIEWER'? This shouldn't change anything, but it is more correct.
  177. [20:23:36] <Vamsi> activities
  178. [20:23:57] <Vamsi> http://opensocial.musicmazaa.com/fanclubs/rajini/js/application.js
  179. [20:24:03] <Vamsi> if u can go there
  180. [20:24:05] <Vamsi> at the bottom
  181. [20:24:19] <jasonacooper> Yeah, I was just looking at it.
  182. [20:24:22] <Vamsi> i have a getInfo function where it requests all the user data
  183. [20:24:54] <jasonacooper> Right. I was just noting that you used the string 'VIEWER' to indicate the viewer instead of the OS object.
  184. [20:25:07] <jasonacooper> The latter being more correct.
  185. [20:25:26] <Vamsi> got it
  186. [20:26:06] <Aakash> just tested this code on DAfOS http://mibbit.com/pb/dnS7JU returns headline
  187. [20:27:20] <jasonacooper> Aakash: Can you file a new issue? I'll follow up with the team to see if this is the correct behavior. I know I've used it to return status in the past.
  188. [20:27:38] <Aakash> ok
  189. [20:38:02] <Vamsi> thank u jason the viewer issue has been fixed :)
  190. [20:38:24] <jasonacooper> Great Vamsi. How?
  191. [20:39:06] <Vamsi> B.add(B.newFetchPersonRequest('VIEWER'), 'viewer'); repalce with B.add(B.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER), 'viewer');
  192. [20:39:28] <Vamsi> now we need to add just one more social feature
  193. [20:40:08] <Vamsi> we cant really add comments / discussion here coz ... that wud ignite a battle between fans and anti-fans .. resulting in a lot of misuse
  194. [20:40:45] <jasonacooper> Interesting. This is the first I've seen of 'VIEWER' not working. I need to make a point to update all of the docs that use this syntax.

  196. [20:41:49] <Vamsi> my other apps are ok with VIEWER but lately im facing this .. does this mean that my sandbox specs are upgraded to 0.8
  197. [20:47:04] <jasonacooper> No. Even when 0.8 support is available in the sandbox, you will have to use <Require feature="opensocial-0.8"/>. Since you're still using 0.7, this isn't related to 0.8.
  198. [20:48:07] <jasonacooper> Regarding social features, social apps should let people socialize, to form a community. The comments box was just one suggestion of how to do this but there are many more.
  199. [20:48:54] <Vamsi> we are plannign to add send videos to frends
  200. [20:49:05] <Vamsi> is that a good enuf feature to get the nod
  201. [20:49:43] <Vamsi> send videos , images / ask ur friend to join this fanclub ....

  209. [21:03:24] <jasonacooper> Yes
  210. [21:05:43] <besquared> I'm having an issue on hi5? anyone here good with hi5?:)
  211. [21:05:49] <besquared> oops.. that first one shouldn't be a ? hehe
  212. [21:06:38] <Aakash> what issues you got on hi5?
  213. [21:06:59] <besquared> yeah.. so.. on myspace I'm used to getting the data response for VIEWER and doing response.get('VIEWER')
  214. [21:07:03] <besquared> but it keeps telling me that it has no properties
  215. [21:07:17] <besquared> it looks like I'm getting back a normal response
  216. [21:07:19] <besquared> hasError is false
  217. [21:07:27] <Vamsi> hi5 got a separate channel i think besquared
  218. [21:07:32] <besquared> they did
  219. [21:07:33] <besquared> but it's dead
  220. [21:07:34] <Aakash> i think hi5 guys have same irc hours as opensocial, #hi5dev is best place
  221. [21:07:34] <besquared> :)
  222. [21:07:41] <besquared> they lied
  223. [21:07:41] <Vamsi> besquared
  224. [21:08:02] <Vamsi> opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER
  225. [21:08:06] <besquared> anyways.. I'm not sure because I've been developing for myspaces ghetto version of OS for a while now
  226. [21:08:24] <Vamsi> use that instead of viewer i just had this issue and it solved it
  227. [21:08:25] <besquared> I'm not sure exactly what the method to access the response items is.. like.. what keys are available to me if I do a request for VIEWER
  228. [21:08:45] <besquared> same with VIEWER_FRIENDS?
  229. [21:08:52] <besquared> so what is response.get() for? heh
  230. [21:10:09] <besquared> it looks like that only returns the string "VIEWER"..:)
  231. [21:10:43] <Vamsi> http://opensocial.musicmazaa.com/fanclubs/rajini/js/application.js
  232. [21:10:47] <Vamsi> check that for referrence
  233. [21:11:01] <Vamsi> getInfo and saveInfo function save almost all the require data
  234. [21:14:40] <jasonacooper> besquared: request the viewer using something like req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER), 'viewer');
  235. [21:14:48] <besquared> hrmm
  236. [21:14:56] <jasonacooper> Then retrieve this in the response using req.get('viewer').getData()
  237. [21:15:13] <jasonacooper> req represents two separate objects above. Sorry about that.
  238. [21:15:44] <besquared> it's fine
  239. [21:17:02] <jasonacooper> Yeah, hi5 supposedly has office hours now but I've heard it's not too dependable. I'd like to try to encourage them to be in this channel more often.
  240. [21:17:04] <besquared> where do the request options go
  241. [21:17:46] <jasonacooper> if you have request options, your request looks like req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER, params), 'viewer');
  242. [21:17:54] <jasonacooper> Notice the extra params object passed in.
  243. [21:18:04] <besquared> do I need to name all of my requests like this?
  244. [21:18:10] <besquared> kind of annoying.:)
  245. [21:18:26] <besquared> makes some sense though so.. heh
  246. [21:18:58] <jasonacooper> What do you mean by 'name'? Of course, variables can be named anything you'd like but the wordy constants can't be changed I'm afraid, unless you alias them yourself.
  247. [21:19:06] <jasonacooper> OpenSocial tends to be a pretty wordy API.
  248. [21:21:03] <besquared> no the constants are fine
  249. [21:21:22] <besquared> I'm not used to having to name calls to viewer 'viewer'.. in myspace it defaults to the last name of the constant
  250. [21:21:25] <besquared> ie: VIEWER
  251. [21:21:25] <besquared> heh
  252. [21:21:53] <besquared> so if I request "VIEWER" I can get the response using response.get("VIEWER")
  253. [21:21:58] <besquared> makes my life a little easier..:)
  254. [21:22:08] <jasonacooper> Hmm, that's interesting. You can give it any key you'd like. I usually use 'viewer' myself.
  255. [21:22:24] <besquared> I know you can.. but it seems odd to not have a reasonable default
  256. [21:22:32] <besquared> but it's fine
  257. [21:22:35] <besquared> I can deal with it..:)
  258. [21:24:07] <besquared> alright that worked
  259. [21:24:50] <besquared> and didn't break my myspace code.. yay
  260. [21:25:04] <besquared> also.. what do I use instead of getEnvironment().getParams()
  261. [21:25:38] * MrTopf (i=hidden-u@oecher.info) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
  262. [21:26:22] <jasonacooper> What information does that return in MySpace?
  263. [21:28:14] <besquared> let me see what I'm using it for
  264. [21:28:52] <besquared> oh right.. myspace lets you add in params by adding appParams={some json here...} to the URL
  265. [21:29:45] <besquared> lets you link directly to pages/features on your canvas page from outside
  266. [21:30:19] <besquared> well.. if you use it cleverly... heh

  268. [21:30:57] * Munkle (n=mzlee@fw.arb.zattoo.com) Quit ("Leaving")
  269. [21:31:29] <jasonacooper> I've seen this done in orkut as well. To get the parameter, I believe you have to parse the URL, which thankfully isn't very hard if you're familiar with RegEx.
  270. [21:32:38] <besquared> oh it's called view-params in hi5
  271. [21:32:48] <besquared> that's super lame.. heh
  272. [21:34:54] <jasonacooper> Is this the first time you're developing on hi5's platform?
  273. [21:35:59] <besquared> yeah
  274. [21:36:31] <besquared> All I'm trying to do if find the points of compatibility so I can write some integration points into our OpenSocial platform wrapper
  275. [21:36:42] <besquared> lots of points in that sentenc
  276. [21:36:45] <Vamsi> jason how long wud u be available now ??
  277. [21:38:53] <jasonacooper> besquared: Unfortunately, MySpace is fairly different from a lot of other containers. hi5 and orkut are more similar.
  278. [21:39:07] <besquared> they're not too different
  279. [21:39:07] <besquared> heh
  280. [21:39:08] <jasonacooper> Vamsi: I'm available for another 20-30 minutes.
  281. [21:39:45] <jasonacooper> besquared: Well, that's the point. :) OpenSocial is all about learn once, write anywhere.
  282. [21:39:59] <besquared> well that philosophy has never worked anywhere ever
  283. [21:39:59] <besquared> hehe
  284. [21:40:13] <besquared> it's more like.. learn once.. write integration code everywhere
  285. [21:41:32] <besquared> hrmm.. doesn't support oauth?
  286. [21:41:36] <Vamsi> besquared i nvr experienced that way
  287. [21:41:49] <Vamsi> i code for orkut and hi5 simultaneously
  288. [21:42:04] <besquared> you have to code to the lowest common denominator
  289. [21:42:12] <Vamsi> problems i faced were more related to the stability of the sandboxes
  290. [21:42:20] <besquared> all development teams have different implementation speeds even if everything else is perfect
  291. [21:42:44] <besquared> of you have lots of if( I"m in this container ) { do this }
  292. [21:44:24] <Vamsi> i rather do that on server side
  293. [21:44:37] <Vamsi> majority of them
  294. [21:48:02] <Vamsi> jason im almost done with send to friend :|
  295. [21:48:21] <jasonacooper> Great. :)
  296. [21:49:19] <besquared> anyways.. it's harder to monetize on orkut and hi5 right now.. which is why it's sort of further back on the list of priorities for app developers.. heh
  297. [21:49:45] <besquared> it's good that they're doing all the opensocial work though
  298. [21:49:49] <besquared> it'll help out in the long run I think
  299. [21:50:03] <besquared> although I still don't see any of them writing core features on their own platforms like facebook does
  300. [21:54:40] <jasonacooper> besquared: We're working on it. :)
  301. [21:55:19] <besquared> heh.. the whole javascript making ajax requests is just a horrible way to implement a platform in my opinion
  302. [21:55:35] <besquared> but whatev.. there's users there so
  303. [21:55:45] <besquared> :)
  304. [21:59:24] <jasonacooper> The REST API will be available soon so that will hopefully be a non-issue going forward. I personally don't think the JavaScript API is terrible, but a lot of developers are more comfortable with server-side development so it's good that it's finally coming.
  305. [21:59:44] <besquared> the problem with REST APIs is that they drive response times really high
  306. [22:00:11] <besquared> doing basic things like name/image displaying should be done by the container
  307. [22:00:16] <besquared> at the proxy layer
  308. [22:00:18] <besquared> heh
  309. [22:01:40] * api_dwh (n=api_dwh@72.14.224.1) Quit ("Leaving")
  310. [22:01:41] <besquared> the problem with javascript isn't that it's horrible.. it's that it's just far too complicated for exposing the simple set of features that most applications require
  311. [22:01:45] <Vamsi> "OWNER_FRIENDS"
  312. [22:01:59] <Vamsi> jasonacooper: whats the alternative for that
  313. [22:02:34] <Vamsi> opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.OWNER_FRIENDS
  314. [22:02:36] <Vamsi> right ??
  315. [22:03:00] <jasonacooper> opensocial.DataRequest.Group.OWNER_FRIENDS
  316. [22:03:00] <besquared> PersonId is weird for a collection
  317. [22:03:08] <besquared> makes more sense
  318. [22:03:08] <besquared> heh
  319. [22:03:09] <jasonacooper> It's not PersonId
  320. [22:03:11] <jasonacooper> :)
  321. [22:03:15] <Vamsi> ok
  322. [22:03:33] <jasonacooper> The full reference is available here, Vamsi: http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.7/reference/
  323. [22:04:01] <Vamsi> im stuck witht he old code i think
  324. [22:04:04] <besquared> that and the specs are obviously written by java programmers not javascript programmers..:)
  325. [22:05:38] <jasonacooper> That may be the case (not really sure about that), but the spec is created in the open. If you're really interested in shaping the API, you should get involved. http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec

  353. [22:20:52] <jasonacooper> I'm running a couple of tests on my end. Give me a couple of minutes to see if I can reproduce your problem.
  354. [22:20:54] <Vamsi> the same thing works there
  355. [22:21:02] <Vamsi> ok :)
  356. [22:21:24] <besquared> hrmm.. jasonacooper does hi5 not support the SIGNED authorization type?
  357. [22:21:52] <jasonacooper> I'm not too familiar with the hi5 platform but I'm pretty sure they do.
  358. [22:30:31] <jasonacooper> So what exactly isn't working, Vamsi? I tested your data request alone (minus all the other function calls you're making in sendInfo) and it works fine. ownFriends is being returned successfully. Are you running into an issue elsewhere in your code?
  359. [22:31:42] <Vamsi> ownFriends.each(function(C){ not working

I would do some more low-level debugging. Set breakpoints in Firebug and inspect the objects to see where the failure is happening.
  364. [22:41:04] <jasonacooper> Unfortunately, I have to get going. :(
