My New Project: vGarage, The Virtual Garage App for your Myspace Options

[Coomer]

Myspace launched an application platform today, and I'm proud to announce my new app, vGarage.

vGarage allows you to add your rides and ride photos to your Myspace profile, where you can show off your rides and get comments from others. You can also view your friends' rides, and there are lots more features planned in the very new feature.

You can install the app at http://www.myspace.com/vGarage, and if you do, please let me know what you think and if you encounter any problems or bugs. I'd love to hear some feedback and would love to see this thing spread.

I am off to sleep now (I've slept for two out of the last 48 hours...the other 46 have been building this app and our app for work), but I'll be back online and posting more info later.

In the meantime, please check it out at http://www.myspace.com/vGarage if you're a Myspace user. Thanks!

very cool idea but I get an error message when I try to add my ride. Oh well, once the bugs are worked out, I can see what all you'll be able to do.

edit: just to let you know the message I got was "the add ride server returned invalid code".

i had the same problem.
looks like it will be pretty cool though.

[Coomer]

Thanks guys...this input is very, very valuable to me.

You got this as soon as you clicked the button to add your ride, correct? And you got this error before you ever saw the add ride form, right?

edit: just to let you know the message I got was "the add ride server returned invalid code".

What browser were you on? Internet Explorer? And were you on Windows? Try it again now if you'd like, it should be working after I fixed a bug.

i had the same problem.

Same questions...what browser were you on? And were you on Windows? I'd give it a shot again and see if it works now.

i see a pinkish "add your ride now!" button. but when i click it... all i see is "invaild access." and yeah, i haven't seen any sort of form to fill out or what-not. and i'm on internet explorer if it makes any difference.

I got the "Invalid Access" as well. I'm rocking IE6.

[hongkongnerdboy]

Same thing here.... running newest i.e. on microcrap xp i'll have to try mozilla when I get home

[ILuvMyCelica95]

"invalid access." here too i'm running firefox

[Coomer]

Ok,
I just tweaked some stuff to accommodate for Myspace sending bad request information to my server. It *should* be working now, but I've had a really hard time reproducing this problem on my accounts and so it's very hard to test. I have seen the error a couple times though.

Also, if you see errors from here on out, there will be a lot more info dumped out on screen. Please, please, please copy and paste those errors here so I can troubleshoot if you see them.

IE...looks like it's working now. nice work!

[D-Man]

Works perfectly for me. Thanks Coomer. Another Success!

Give it another shot now Tina. I just rolled some new code that may fix this.

[speedfeen]

MAN thatsounds so sweet

but


i dont have myspace



what about like facebook lol


im not even sure what myspace is....:S


feen

[ILuvMyCelica95]

seems to be working now ty coomer

[azian_advanced]

i'd like to see this implemented on this forum... cuz a lot of us don't have myspace.
..that'd be sweet....

[GriffGirl]

I wanna try it now... anyone know of a very good (or have a very good) proxy server for me to tap through? I can't access myspace from work - it's the only thing blocked here cause some guy a few years ago was creepy with it.

PM me if you have a proxy I can use.

[Culpable04]

tntproxy.com

[GriffGirl]

tntproxy.com

Can't use that one... boobies in the ad banner at the top... not that anyone actually looks, but I'd really rather not risk having anything like that in the cache on my work computer, just in case there's ever an issue.


If anyone has a private proxy server they're willing to share w/me, and I super duper promise all I want it for is myspace access, nothing illegal or ANYTHING like that (easy to track and verify anyway!), please PM me.

[Culpable04]

www.myspaceproxy.us

[GriffGirl]

www.myspaceproxy.us

crap. apparently that's either not compatible with Mac, or it's Firefox. But I got a completely blank page.

[Coomer]

Thanks for the input guys. I've got a hunch about what's wrong now, and can fix it later tonight after work and our launch party. I'd love to hear more input from everyone.

[goferris]

It's working for me now thanks coomer

[Coomer]

what about like facebook lol

I may be building a Facebook implementation of this app at some point. Not sure yet though.

i'd like to see this implemented on this forum... cuz a lot of us don't have myspace.
..that'd be sweet....

On this forum, we're all about Celicas, and for adding your sixth gen., you can use the site's normal features.

wroks great. except now i can't remove a photo. everytime i try i get...

This should be fixed. I was having issues with usernames with single quotes, parentheses, and exclamation marks. Give it a shot now and see if it works.

i guess i went straight to my own.......but i also looked on defeffingeph's profile and wanted to see what he got on and what it looks like........until it also said the same thing.


i guess here is my link to where it pops up dont know if it'll help:

[Coomer]

So you got that message trying to view your garage as well as other peoples' garages? I just checked in some code that hopefully fixes the problem. Wanna try to see if you can get that error to show up again?

[808celica]

yeah sure hold on.

****EDIT******

its good so far.

i'll start adding in the info. and post again if i come across something.

thanks coomer,

Sounds good man.

Thank you all so much for helping me out with this! This data is soooooo valuable...I'm getting all the bugs worked out, and then I can start adding more features and start promoting it and trying to get it to spread.

[808celica]

okay i ran into another thing.

it says that you guys have been notified.....

but the app. seems not to save the details i type in.

it keeps going back to "add your ride now"

What's the exact error message that you're getting? This is when you go to add a ride, fill in details, and then click the "ADD THIS RIDE" button to save the ride?

[dabazied]

After I put in the info on my car(after the form I fill out about year, make, model, etc..) and hit "Add This Ride", a separate pop-up error message box pops up and says "The add ride server returned invalid code" and then it does nothing. I haven't tried it with mozilla yet but this is with i-net explorer.

I'm guessing you have a name with non-English characters in it? I've got a solution...will implement in a few minutes and see if it helps.

Edit: Give it a shot now. I'm trying some different encoding that should support all the non-standard characters you can possibly come up with.

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Pretty sweet app. It works for me.

[supershannon77]

Awesome...Everything worked fine for me.

[97lestyousay]

Me too. I uploaded a large pic with no issues at all, faster than photobucket.
I don't ever really go on myspace anymore though, in fact the vgarage is
about all I have on my page.lol

yes it pops out " oops and error......." somethinglike that, but it also says that you guys are working on it and already know.

Edit: sorry for the late reply it was getting late here in hawaii
yo coomer everythings fine now thanks

[Coomer]

Is anyone else having any problems still? The logs are looking good, but I wanted to double-check with everyone.

Also,
Now that it seems to be working for the most part, what sort of features would you guys like to see added to the app?

[97lestyousay]

Some kind of security banner for pics similar to what we have on our profile
pics here would be cool.

[MaX]

nice work, didnt even know about myspace apps til now haha

keep it up

[politicsareevil]

Ok so Coomer no offense but I found a BIIIIIG problem. The "Make" and "Model" say honda and dodge then civic and viper..... wheres the toyota love???? Nice app though... I think we the 6gc community think you should throw the celica love in as the example... Just a thought.

Thanks. And yeah, Myspace apps are brand new...they're not even promoted on Myspace's website yet.

I opted to cater to both import and domestic people, and chose Honda and Civic because that's a very common car.

By the way, I restructured the way the vGarage app is displayed on profiles, so it now takes up much less space.

aw man, I liked having a big garage door on my profile lol. It's cool though, just the fact that our "garage" is displayed not only on vgarage, but also in the profile is a really nice touch!

[97lestyousay]

Most people probably wouldn't care because the photos in the profiles don't have anything, but if
anyone reposted the car pics, at least you would get some free advertising.
