Hi Gang, After an extremely busy three months, I'm back and working on some app upgrades. I've been integrating Socialize into an app, and everything is working fine except for one area. Once an rss feed opens an article in the webview, I can't seem to get the title shared with Socialize. I can pick up and share the url without any problem. To utilize Socialize with the rss, I've had to add the following to my BT_screen_webView.m (in the bt_screen_rssReader folder): self.actionBar = [SocializeActionBar actionBarWithKey:useURL name:xmlItemTitleName presentModalInController:self]; [self.view addSubview:self.actionBar.view]; I've tried adding and passing several variables such as "xmlItemTitleName" and "Title" by first adding the NSString declaration and the property and synthesize statements. But no luck. The Socialize example uses @"Something" but I need a variable so it matches the title of the rss article. Any ideas?

For anyone who is following this, I figured it out (thanks to google). Here's the code I used and it's working great: NSString *shareTitle = [[NSString alloc] init]; NSData *htmlFile = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:useURL]]; NSString *htmlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:htmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSArray *substrings = [[NSArray alloc] init]; substrings = [htmlString componentsSeparatedByString:@"<TITLE>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { substrings = [htmlString componentsSeparatedByString:@"<title>"]; } if ([substrings count] > 1) { NSString *rightPart = [substrings objectAtIndex:1]; substrings = [rightPart componentsSeparatedByString:@"</TITLE>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { substrings = [rightPart componentsSeparatedByString:@"</title>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { shareTitle = [NSString stringWithString:useURL]; } else { shareTitle = [substrings objectAtIndex:0]; } } else { shareTitle = [substrings objectAtIndex:0]; } } else { shareTitle = [NSString stringWithString:useURL]; } self.actionBar = [SocializeActionBar actionBarWithKey:useURL name:shareTitle presentModalInController:self]; [self.view addSubview:self.actionBar.view];

great to see you back. going thru your game center tutorial was one of the best study guides i've used to extend BuzzTouch a bit. wanted to remember to thank you for that. i just started looking at Socialize. loved that targeted form feature someone posted the other day. but I'm iffy on the socialize "Action Bar". are you using it in your app? I really liked their Push Notifications/Smart Alerts feature, those look nicer than most i've seen. See,s you can incluse an image with the alert. Thinking of trying to just utilize just this feature. I have read thru most of the basic documentation and i can't tell yet if i'd just be able to use that feature from the SDK without the Action Bar. I'm sure they want you to use the bar - but if i don't have to....

Thanks. I've got the action bar functioning in a test app at the moment. I wanted to limit it to only certain screens -- mainly the rss feed page -- and am working to figure that out. I've got it working well on the rss page and working on the image gallery page at the moment. The push notifications looks interesting -- especially with the ability to micro target. That will come next. I plan on putting a tutorial together for this once I've got it working.

Hi MGoBlue, Thanks for your code. I'm currently testing socialize too. Would be nice if you could share a nice tutorial on this. Just using your (plain) code doesn't work Best Regards, Danny

Danny, I will get a tutorial together. You're correct, just the code above doesn't work. This is only for the rss page. You still need to have reference to socialize in the app delegate and other spots. Tutorial coming soon (once all my testing is done). Jeff

MGoBlue, Would be very nice. I know that only add your code will not work. I'm able to get socialize on any (seperate) screen/plugin I want. So I have the reference in the delegate. But still your code doesn't work. Love to have the feature to share or comment on each article seperately. will wait for your tut. Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Danny

Danny, In the BT_screen_webView.m file within the bt_screen_rssReader folder, search for the following: if([self.dataURL length] > 3){ //merge possible variables in URL useURL = [BT_strings mergeBTVariablesInString:self.dataURL]; } Place this code directly after this section. NSString *shareTitle = [[NSString alloc] init]; NSData *htmlFile = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:useURL]]; NSString *htmlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:htmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSArray *substrings = [[NSArray alloc] init]; substrings = [htmlString componentsSeparatedByString:@"<TITLE>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { substrings = [htmlString componentsSeparatedByString:@"<title>"]; } if ([substrings count] > 1) { NSString *rightPart = [substrings objectAtIndex:1]; substrings = [rightPart componentsSeparatedByString:@"</TITLE>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { substrings = [rightPart componentsSeparatedByString:@"</title>"]; if ([substrings count] < 2) { shareTitle = [NSString stringWithString:useURL]; } else { shareTitle = [substrings objectAtIndex:0]; } } else { shareTitle = [substrings objectAtIndex:0]; } } else { shareTitle = [NSString stringWithString:useURL]; } self.actionBar = [SocializeActionBar actionBarWithKey:useURL name:shareTitle presentModalInController:self]; [self.view addSubview:self.actionBar.view]; That should work.

Thanks MGoBlue, That did the trick. I was pasting in the wrong place. wonderfull. Many thanks for this. Best Regards, Danny

Hey MGoBlue, I used Socialize on a non-BT app I had, just for testing I took it out before publishing the app because it doesn't offer any translation :( I'm building a couple of english apps in BT right now and it would be great to add socialize to them. I will give it a try and let everyone know how its going. Thanks for the info shared so far. =)

What BT version are you guys talking about?

I'm using self-hosted 2.0.

Any updates on the Socialize tutorial?

Hey @GoBlue, @Danny, Would you mind having a look at something for me. I've began implementing Socialize step by step following both the get socialize PDF and info from another BT forum. Ive installed the sdk, frameworks, libraries and linker files. When i install steps 1 and 2 of the code into my App_Delegate.m file and run, i'm getting 9 errors. Can you let me know if I've installed it in the right location. Thanks Anthony http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35241128/Sample%20Screenshot/Socialize%20Error%20Log.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35241128/Sample%20Screenshot/appdelegate%20m%20errors.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35241128/Sample%20Screenshot/appdelegate%20m%20erros%202%20.png

Hi Rad Doc, Don't know if I can help but.... 1st screenshot: on line 64 you imported the socialize header file for the 2nd time delete that line. Also get rid (delete) line 72, 73, 74 and 75 Think you problems will go then. Hope it helps. Best Regards, Danny

I am just trying to integrate socialize in my android application. Would be nice if you could share a nice tutorial on this. Just using a instruction guide from socialize , but doesn't work . waiting......

tried to get this to work, but get an error on this line: "[self.view addSubview:self.actionBar.view];" that states 'Property 'view' not found on object of type 'SZActionBar *'. Any thoughts?

Hi, I have the Socialize bar working but it is showing on all of my screens even though it is only in RSS webview.m file. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, David
