A couple of comments about requestSendMessage: [1] There is a global limit of 10 emails per user across all applications. Right now requestSendMessage will always show the popup window. It does not fail until the user hits send. This seems backwards to me. The user might spend 5 minutes entering a personal message, and on their 11 email for the day they'll hit send and an error will be thrown in the callback. Then developers are supposed to catch the error and tell the user, "sorry that message you wrote didn't get delivered". It's a bit like allowing a use to write a scrapbook message, but then the post scrap fails.
I wrote up an issue for this: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/issues/detail?id=230 Applications should be able to query if the user is over quota and not call requestSendMessage at all, or requestSendMessage should be changed to immediately fail if the user is over quota. [2] Lack of support for html and images. Right now all the messages are plain text. I'm worried that they look boring and spammy to a user. We want to send fun (or useful) emails that make the user want to go to our applications. That's very hard to do with text. When all the emails look the same, users will get tired of them fast.. There is a general issue for requestSendMessage here: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/issues/detail?id=33 Thanks -Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orkut Developer Forum" group.
