Gadget Development Wanted

We're setting up a Ning-based site where people in Groups will provide feedback about certain events. This feedback will be given via another application that's already developed in Flash and Java. A forthcoming version of that application will probably need to be converted to work as an OpenSocial Gadget, but that's for later. Right now, we need some help, probably in OpenSocial, perhaps just in Ning.

First, a question:

Is it possible to poll Groups for current logins and pass either the number of logins and/or the login names/emails out of Ning and over to our application? If we can do this, then we can get continuously updated reads on the number of people who are logged into each of our Groups, which will then give us an accurate read on the numbers of people providing feedback.

So, if such data can be found either in Ning or via OpenSocial, then we're looking for a developer who would be interested in helping us do this, on a freelance basis.

Please email me and let me know if you think this is possible and, then, if you think it can be done either in Ning or in OpenSocial.

If this can be done, then we'd probably wish to work with you on the porting of our forthcoming version into OpenSocial where, frankly, it will become quite interesting indeed!

Thanks, in advance.

You can check http://opensocialexa.com. Possible it is something you need. OpenSocial currently not providing sufficient security for this. It is possible to store and count visits to specific OS gadget (not for e-mails and other private info), but any hacker with knowledge on Firebug can delete them (I think).
Cheers.

Can this information be gleaned from visits to an OpenSocial gadget, or might their yet be some way to pull such visit counts or logins directly from each group?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by jevs on November 27, 2007 at 2:49pm: Opensocial itself having no info about groups, but you can do it at your own servers with additinal code and data base (also to ensure security). OS gadgets can collect only viewer ID, name, photo and profile url or users input, later - more info about other profle data. But I am not expert, just learning.
Cheers.

Permalink Reply by Glenn Allen on November 27, 2007 at 4:21pm: Thanks again, Jevs. I guess that means, then, that we get that information either: (1) directly from the Ning code; or (2) from our application directly if it's presented as an OpenSocial gadget. Does that sound about right?

Permalink Reply by jevs on November 27, 2007 at 4:50pm: I would identify Ning and OS gadget code as user interface, but you will need something more to verify, update and group information collected from this interface. For example if you logged to Gmail, OS gadget can show you different interface with all e-mails without additional login. But security is ensured by Gmail and e-mails are stored also by Gmail. So you will need somebody with php or similar knowledge to do most of job at your servers.
Cheers.

Network marketing teams

I have a horror story to tell you. I joined a network marketing company a few years back when I was just starting out and a friend of mine joined the same company but with another team. 6 months later he was making $10,000 a month and I was only making $4000 a month. It got worse he kept making more and I was struggling. Here is the craziest thing, I actually showed this buddy of mine how to… Continue

Envirocycle Composter

The envirocycle composter is the BEST tool for composting. It sits unobtrusively on the porch soaking up the heat from the sun, and is easy to get at when we dump the kitchen waste daily. The Envirocycle Composter/Composteamaker makes compost, tea, and organic liquid plant food that is so much appreciated by the gardeners. This liquid can be col… Continue

A alegria do Senhor é nossa força.

A Alegria do Senhor é Nossa Força | Pr. Olavo Feijó

Neemias 8:18 - E, de dia em dia, Esdras leu no livro da lei de Deus, desde o primeiro dia até ao derradeiro; e celebraram a solenidade da festa sete dias, e no oitavo dia, houve uma assembléia solene, segundo o rito.

Percebendo quão longe estava dos ideais das Escrituras, o povo israelita sentiu grande tristeza. Neemias e Esdras, porém, chamaram a atenção de todos: “Não vos entristeçais, porque a alegria do Senhor é a vossa força” (Neemias 8:… Continue

A Serviço do rei

Todos nós fazemos, dizemos ou pensamos coisas que são erradas. Isto é chamado de pecado, e nossos pecados nos separam de Deus.

A Bíblia diz "Pois todos pecaram e estão separados da glória de Deus..." (Romanos 3:23) Deus é perfeito e santo, e nossos pecados nos separam de Deus para sempre. A Bíblia diz "Pois o salário do pecado é a morte..." (Romanos 6:23) A boa noticia é que a mais de 2000 atrás,
3. Deus enviou Seu único Filho Jesus Cristo para morrer por nossos pecados.

Jesus e o Filho de Deu… Continue
