I’m no longer keeping version numbers, because basically you wanta get the latest version. Once the class reaches a stable / complete version i’ll begin with version numbers again. Until then every release will be version jj, in dedication to the most amazing woman i know:),
and should be considered alpha . If you’d like to know when a new version is out – subscribe.

I love it when other people make functions, keeps me from having to. If your trying to write a function and it doesn’t work – contact me.

Please send any code as a php file. I try to fix any broken functions that are sent to me, and include or update all functions sent to me.

Common Questions

is this an extension? no this is a php4 class. It will work with wordpress, drupal, pretty much anything running php.

Do you offer support? yeap, actually about 4 of the functions in the class come from people trying to make new functions and contacting me for help.

Future Tasks

Development

If you’d like to contribute, or would like to help with the development process please contact me.

at the moment this project has an ActiveCollab area setup for potential developers.

Sorry to say the next release of the MySpace Access Class has been delayed, but for good reason, there have been alot of feature and documentation requests. so i’m working on putting together a demo site that proves both demos and documentation. as well as trying to comlete a few last minute features.

for those wondering. as of last night i have a captha bypass function. not a full bypass. it detects if captha has been reached and will display if so, and will post that back to the proper page when done. it’s down and dirty, and i’ve only tested it with a copy of the captha page (i seriously never hit capthas at myspace – no clue why).

that said i’m also including the search function as is, does it work? yes. does it timeout while navigating? yeap, to work around this i’m adding a limit until i get around to cleaning it up. for now it works but i’d say leave the limit alone until i fix it.

whats the next major change? I’ve been toying with putting a backend to this thing, Mysql of course. but i won’t make everyone wait till thats done.

that said it’ll be a few more days, but i think it’s worth it.

as always send in broken functions, helps me make the working ones that you want

Enjoy , sid

Roderick Russell @ http://noumenon.roderickrussell.com has made a WordPress to MySpace Auto Crossposting plugin using the myspace access class.

Check it out : http://noumenon.roderickrussell.com/wordpress-to-myspace-auto-crossposting

the team (me and ryan) have made some functions, but are kinda of war on if we should release them.

right now the functions are already made for batch friend requests, batch seraching, etc. more and more of you have expressed a need for them, my only concern is spamming. I myself am on the fence if these functions should be released, or only used in the private developers version of the class.

this is where all of you come in. if enough you tell me why the functions are needed i’ll include them. you can either leave comments or contact me. the next release is next week, and if their not in that version you probably won’t see them for awhile.

Ok well first off i’m thinking about going to changin the whole version system cause seriously this is all alpha – thanx to Brad, fb, and maybe a new guy. donations are more than welcome – to busy to install a donate button – but sid@halfgray.com on paypal would bring some joy to my life.

that said heres what you really want : /wp-content/uploads/2007/4/myspacever2apr-25-07.zip

and heres what you need to know

features:

• blog posting
• comment posting
• friendslist navigation
• myspace navigation
• music player extraction
• functions to pull data from user page
• better error support
• rewrote and re arranged
• added response headers to the error loop
• settings vars for recover from error and displaying errors
• logs out of myspace at close
• add some more functions for grabbing form data
• tokens are automatic (don’t remember if it was last version)
• add a bunch of other stuff – it’s 4 in the morning

ok if you just replace the old class with this class – your script will break. why? because i split it into two classes… why? felt right at the time.

so what do you need to do – read the nice documentation in the top of the file – oh yeah and if you mod, add to, etc, etc, the script- send me poetics5@yahoo.com (yes, i know spam – so what they flood me anywayz) the code in a .php file.

if your trying to write functions and they fail – email me and i’ll help you.

if you’d like to help in documenting, or just general spell checking (can’t spell for crap) email me, i’ll give you a login to the development area (activeCollab)

ok now for some general disclaimers – first and for most this is not something for spam, it’s primary audience are bloggers and other people that wanta do stuff with their sites.

please don’t start using this for spam. if you use this class at all for commerical use, even as a starter script – we want one thing. send us a link, and know that one day you may be called upon to return the favor (i know i need sleep).

anyways in closing, don’t spam, feel free to ask questions, and i seriously need to stop these coding binges – night all.
