Discussion - Be informed of updates to this comment using REST

ralpharama — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:48:52 GMT

Hi there, After the update I notice this: "Members can opt to be updated by email when someone leaves a comment after their comment on a profile page, media page or group page." I was wondering if it was possible to use this on comments on emedia items created using the REST API? I had a look about the REST docs, but couldn't see the option. Thanks, Ralph <

Discussion - Plugin Problems

d.liu320 — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:54:10 GMT

Hello, I'm currently writing a plugin that that will allow users to track video statistics and analytics information. I'm currently having a few problems though: 1. I can't seem to get variables passed through to my plugin. I've followed every instruction step by step on this guide http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/App_Studio_Plug-Ins but it just won't work. Currently the e

Discussion - More questions about getting emedia comments using REST or RSS API

ralpharama — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 09:07:48 GMT

Hi, I need to grab all comments (or last x) made on to display on our site. Either all emedia item comments (not just for a single emedia item) or or, failing that, all comments on everything (emedia and videos, blogs, user profiles etc) I tried two methods, both fail. 1st, REST: http://api.kickapps.com/rest/comments/25995/etc Requires url. Required when medi

Discussion - Username format requirements?

CaptainWillard — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:25:04 GMT

Apologies if this is answered somewhere obvious, I've looked around quite a bit and haven't found any documentation for the restrictions on usernames. I'm porting an existing user database to a new system that integrates with KickApps using the SSO API. I'd like to know for sure what characters are not allowed in KA usernames. I've found that the period is a problem, how about other non-alphanumeric chars?

Discussion - 1x1 iframe does not work for autologin

lethalray — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:01:29 GMT

Hello I am trying to integrate the kickapps SSO into our site. I am successfully able to login a user via the api and receive a st and tid and uid. Showing http://affiliate.kickapps.com/service/openCustomPage.kickAction?as=<ourid> as an iframe right after the api login happens does not seem to work however. The user still shows up as not logged in on the affiliate site. Is there another way to login a user automatically or what am I doing wrong here? Because it is no

Discussion - ChangeUsername breaks record

lethalray — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:41:18 GMT

Hi Just tried the changeUsername SOAP API. The first time you run it, it works fine and reflects in the my profile area correctly with the new username. If you run it again with the new username and try to change it again to something else, you get an error back from the api Unable to process change user name request. User <just changed username> is not a valid user. So you can essentially change username once and right after that all login and other functionality breaks for that us

Discussion - Flagged comments

ralpharama — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:20:53 GMT

Hi, this might sound obvious, but what happens to a comment that is 'flagged' on a member's profile? In my tests, the comment seems to have been instantly deleted, and not actually flagged for review at all - or at least, I can no longer find the comment to review it... I looked in 'comments' - no pending, deleted or recently reviewed comments that match it there. I looked under the user's account/profile page in admin - it says this user has no comments... Help please, we

Discussion - Creating an OSMF plugin using ProxyElement

campbell.kevin — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:09:08 GMT

Hello, I'm investigating the use of OSMF plugins with Kickapps video players. The goal is to create an advertising management plugin that can inject pre, mid, and post-roll video into the original video content. I have a plugin that successfully injects mid-roll video on a simple OSMF player instance. In my OSMF player, I use MediaFactory.loadPlugin and the plugin works as expected. I have uploaded this plugin to my App Studio, but have had no success using it with Kic

Discussion - Setting AdminTags in media uploads

jkade — Sat, 22 May 2010 04:35:45 GMT

Hello, We're trying to set adminTags at the same time as a photo upload via the API. The API documentation indicates that it's possible: http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/Upload_Media (though the casing differs from the EditMediaMetadata documentation, if that matters: http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/Edit_Med

Discussion - Enclosure 'length' from RSS Feed

jflowers45 — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 19:59:54 GMT

It would be a great asset for us we could know the length of our videos when we are looking at them in the RSS feed. There is a property on the enclosure node called "length" but I can't figure out what it represents. I thought maybe milliseconds, or bytes ... but that doesn't seem to be the case. 1. Can anyone tell me what that length value means? 2. Is there a way to get either the length of a video or its file size in the RSS API? (or both!)

Discussion - App Studio Plugin API Docs

astgtciv — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 16:11:07 GMT

Hi, I am creating a native App Studio Plugin. Not sure if this is the right forum for this, if not then please more the discussion there. Is there any documentation besides http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/App_Studio_Plug-Ins (which is not a whole lot)? I can't find anything else... What I am currently trying to do is to figure out how to get the width/height of the plugin component as set by the user. I suspect the answer lies in the kickAppsShell documen

Discussion - Getting comments for emedia items with REST call

ralpharama — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:10:17 GMT

Hi there, I'm grabbing comments for an emedia item using the REST Retrieve_Comments method (http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/Retrieve_Comments) Which works fine, however, it just occured to me... I want any visitor to the page to be able to view the comments for this emedia item, it doesn't matter if they are logged in or not... H

Discussion - Updating user profile with REST API

ralpharama — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:56:33 GMT

Hi there, is it possible to update a user profile (specifically, the username) using the REST API? http://www.kickdeveloper.com/api/index.php/API_Reference_Frontpage I know it can be done with the SOAP/SSO method, but would prefer to do it with REST if possible. Thanks, Ralph

Discussion - Setting birthday in 'signInRegisterUser'

ScottR — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:15:37 GMT

Hi, I'm attempting to do an SSO integration in .NET. This problem has nothing to do with the programming end of things as far as I can see. The raw HTTP traffic is below, and the perplexing parts are in red. The documentation identifies birthday as an optional param, however leaving it out results in this same error. Setting it to the empty string results in a parser error from the web service. Is this just a fallback error, and something else is wrong? My

Hi guys, I've got Facebook Connect working on my site:http://ka.uvuvideo.org/user/displayUserLoginPage.kickAction?as=86294 However, when a posting is written out to Facebook, the associated image is not coming through.

Discussion - SSO and Email Verification

ralpharama — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:19:42 GMT

Hi there, We use SSO, but don't have email verification turned on. We auto-register people on kickapps as they sign into our main www site. I understand that email notifications and email member updates will only work if we 'enable email verification'? My question is - what effect will turning this on have on our SSO? Will our system of using
