The VIEWER object will be null for users who don't have the application installed. If your logic relies on the presence of the VIEWER object, it will fail in this use case, which is probably why I saw an empty view when I navigated to your canvas view from another account.
You have several options, but here are the two I recommend most often: 1. Build a slightly altered canvas view without the VIEWER dependencies. This will take some of the social aspects away, but you can always include a note inside your app to install the application if they want to experience the social features. You are also permitted to redirect users to the app install page if they try to take some action (e.g. leave a comment) that is not available to users without the app installed. Don't automatically redirect them, however. 2. Your current profile view renders perfectly for all users, regardless of whether they have the app installed or not. So you can display this view in the canvas when VIEWER is null and the more impressive canvas view when the VIEWER object is available. Either way, try to show something other than "Install your app" since the idea is to let users experience your application before committing to installing it. - Jason On Sep 29, 6:00 am, Javediq143 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > Thanks for the help. > > Im looking forward for the second problem which you have founded in my > app ie the guest view is getting blank canvas. > I've searched many forums for this topic but didnt find any solution > except what I've done in my this another APP. > > Please add this APP also to your profile and let me know if the code > which I've used is correct or is there any more issue to be resolved > yet. > > Also kindly suggest me if you have got any better solution. > > url: http://go2bollywood.tv/orkut/activity/user_profiles.xml > > Please try to reply me at the earliest. > > Thanks > Javed > > On Sep 26, 3:22 am, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Javed.
