Denis,

We are assuming that the VK functionality should be done similar to the FB functionality.

We were trying to use the implementation provided by Igor which is based on iFrame, PHP and jQuery. But we are having some trouble integrating the same into our application.

We will need control at Server side when the user connects to VK.com (and also for tasks like  posting the reviews submitted from iPad to users VK wall and to the venue's page in VK.) But the script provided does not seem to be giving that control to our server side application.

For FB functionality, we had created a Java API based solution and used the same to integrate with FB API. Hence our application had full control of the FB API.

Can we have a call / detailed description from Igor explaining how he is envisioning  his scripts to be used by our application. Maybe it will be beneficial if we can  explain the existing application architecture so that it would be easy for him to relate to his code.

Let me know how we can take this forward.

Hi Robin,

I can definetly organize a chat with developer or you can talk directly to him.

His Skype is igor.s.v

I will summarise differences between VK and FB integration.

VK is very tight on publishing on user's wall.

Another restriction - same application can not do posting to user wall and send notification to user

There is no way to post on user's wall using offline permission.

To overcome the restriction there should be three applications to deal with VK.com

Application 1 (for user, not iframe) - main.php, upload.php
Application 2 (for group admin) - main_admin.php, upload.php, uploadGroup.php, wallgetlike.php, config.php
Application 3 (for user, iframe) - main_iframe.php, sendNotif.php, vkapi.class.php

Photo made by user with not get automatically published to user wall!

User will be automatically notified within VK that there are updates.

I propose to have a chat to discuss this functionality.

Kind regards,
Denis.

Sudhir,

Please update me with the status.

Thanks,

Hi Denis,

1. For the iframe-app the URL to use will be:
    http://188.40.121.24/Likelabs/iframe_script.php
    Once the URL is changed we will have to do small configuration for it to work.

2. For the userApp: We may not need any further configuration

3. The venueAdminApp: Currently the one created by Igor is used but the access token received is not appropriate for offline access.
We may have to create another appropriate one ( a trusted App I think) .
Once it is created we will have to do small configuration in the website.

Regards,
-Sudhir

Please let me know whether I should be doing something about it

What are you estimates for completion date?

Sudhir Kelappan on January 28, 2013:


Hi Denis,

Will get back to you on if we need to do anything further for the venueAdmin app.
The other 2 apps can be configured by us.

Completion date: Presuming that the current page load performance  is ok, and that we are not required to do anything further for the venue admin VK app,
We should not need more than 2 days to configure everything on the live server.

Regards,

Sudhir,

Completion date: Please finish with VK integration using current set-up. Dynamic load will be doing as a next step.

Thanks,
Denis.

Sudhir Kelappan on January 28, 2013:

Ok Denis, Will do as suggested.
