Posting into Activity Stream

[sharath]

Hello,

I am using the below code to post activity

<script type="text/javascript">
function createActivity() {
var title= '';
title = 'Hey, I have added MyVideos. Come on! Join with me';
var activity_params = {};
alert(1);
activity_params[opensocial.Activity.Field.TITLE] = title;
var activity = opensocial.newActivity(activity_params);
alert(activity);
opensocial.requestCreateActivity(activity, "HIGH",
getCreateActivityResp);
}
function getCreateActivityResp(responseItem) {
console.log(responseItem);
var htmlout = '';
if(responseItem.hadError()){
//htmlout= 'has error: ' + responseItem.ErrorMessage;
alert(responseItem.ErrorMessage +'has error');
}
else{
alert('create activity good!')
}
}
createActivity();
</script>

This code posts activity for every page load, but i want to post
activity only once when the user adds the application for first time.

How to achieve it?

Thanks and regards
Sharath

As far as i know, in orkut an activity is automatically created when user adds a app.
Otherwise this will be possible only when there is a option for onInstall, onUninstall callback urls in future OpenSocial release, for now only hi5 has this feature..

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Presently there is no activity created on install automatically in
orkut.

Hi Sharath,

This is an interesting concept. In order to achieve this may be you
can use app data. You could check if the field, say "installed"
exists, and if not, then do any installation tasks and set the
"installed" field.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any class defined in opensocial to check the installed field
or what is the approach?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Sharath,
Sorry about the late response. What I really meant here was to use
PersonAppData to store a field named "installed". Check this field to
see if the application was installed, if not do installation tasks and
then set a field named "installed" in the PersonAppData.
Try out this example, this will make things lot clearer.

In this example, you have to replace the contents of install function
with your code of writing to the activity stream.

Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

Thanks for your reply, Its working well.
Another query, I need to write into activity stream once a day when
specific activity is performed.

it once per day or week something like this.
