Viewer Orkut ID??

[Sambi Reddy]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve Orkut of Viewer ( Viewer didn't add my
application ) using following code

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

var params = {};
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS]
= [opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL];

var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('VIEWER', params), 'viewer');
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I am not getting viewer as null.

Can anyone explain me.

Thanks,
Sambi

Hi Sambi,

your code is OK. Are you calling req.send after red.add?
Take care if you pass a function in req.send it will be executed assyncronous, so if you do like this:
function callback_function(data) {
  viewer = data.get... blablabla
}
req.send(callback_function);
alert(viewer.getDisplayName); // At this point, callback function may not yet be completed, so viewer is still Null.

You can try this code, a just checked it in Dafos: http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=845795770537

var params = {};
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] = [

    opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL,

    opensocial.Person.Field.ID
];

var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('VIEWER', params), 'viewer');

req.send(function get_callback(response) {
        viewer = response.get("viewer").getData();
        output(viewer.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL));
        output(viewer.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.ID));
  });

Hope can help you,

Hi Frisoni,

ya i am calling the req.send after the add and i made the change as
you told.

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

req.send(function getIds(response)
{
var viewer = response.get('viewer').getData();
if (viewer === null)
{
}
else
{
var profile_url =
viewer.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL);
var regex = /uid=([^&#]+)/;
var result = profile_url.match(regex);
visit_id = viewer.getId();
visit_name = viewer.getDisplayName();

if (result.length == 2)
{
var uid = result[1];
stored_uid = uid;
}
else
{
alert('There seems to be an error');
}
}

onLoadFavorites();
onLoadRecos();
});

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

Even after changing to the aboce code. Both the function
onLoadFavorites and onLoadRecos show visit_id as undefined but if the
user adds the application its fine.

heres the url if you want to try

Hi People.

Your are not allowed to access the viewer's object untl the viewer has
the application installed. Thats what i have been believing till now.

[Sambi Reddy]

Ok,

So, you mean if viewer is null. the user don't my application
installed?

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks Ramanpreet.

Hi.

I couldn't find a direct reference to this fact but check this,
http://developer.myspace.com/Community/blogs/devteam/archive/2008/02/05/opensocial-app-in-the-wild-dream-interpretation.aspx
, they only check for null on viewer's object, not on owner's.. will
this do to prove the fact? Plus, i have already been experiencing a
blank viewer object with users who don't have the app installed :).

You're welcome, Sambi Reddy
