Hi Marcelo. Welcome to the group. :) No, your application can definitely have different privacy settings. This stipulation was made to deter applications that show a very rich profile view to viewers who have the application installed and nothing to viewers who don't -- ideally, the profile view should be similar for both classes of users, which ends up benefitting developers since an enticing profile view will make "guest viewers" more likely to add your application.
For a "party and social events" app like the one you described, I would show events that the profile owner has added in the profile view. Of course, it's perfectly OK to hide private events if the viewer does not have the proper access, but you should display the events marked public to all viewers. You may even consider showing the public events added to the owner's friends' calendars. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers! - Jason On Jul 21, 1:17 am, Marcelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > It's my first post here and I'm just getting started with opensocial > development.
