The second line is meant to say 2 new requests under Friends etc, but that's not implemented yet.

Since links are clickable in the latest (not yet uploaded) version, I'd appreciate it if someone could provide help on how to get a direct link to a youtube video so I could pass it to a custom video widget (I know cutetube's source can help but I'm not that fluent in QML)

I'll have a wrapper script in the next version, if you can't wait (as root)

Code:

mv /usr/bin/sociality /opt/usr/bin
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nrun-standalone.sh /opt/usr/bin/sociality" > /usr/bin/sociality
chmod +x /usr/bin/sociality

That should "fix" the icon

one more thing - when someone posts a birthday wish on another person's wall, it only appears as "Happy birthday" from the poster. i can't see who's wall that message was posted on.

@MAG

after using your script, the shortcut still doesn't appear even after a reboot

I guess I'll just wait for the next update then. thanks anyway! great app!

I pushed a new version to -devel, should have a fixed icon (I hope

)
The places window will actually open and enable GPS, I've coded (disabled right now) parts to search for locations to check into, this won't be the easiest bit for me since I can't test it well (Israel's maps are white on GMaps' API, so the map will have to be a patch from someone, and the locations that show up are in hebrew for me.

Anyway, the new version should be up, just don't kill your battery by leaving the places window open :P

I use C++ code (QNetworkAccessManager etc) to get the url. I've attached a text file containing the methods. I basically use the get() method of QNetworkAccessManager and connect the finished() signal to a slot where the response html is parsed. You pass the YouTube link to the getVideoUrl() method. My YouTube class has a playbackFormat attribute which holds the stream format (5 or 18). This is used in the parseVideoPage() slot, but you could just hard-code a value if you prefer.

Note that it was necessary to create a new QNetworkAccessManager object each time the method is called, otherwise I would get a 403 response when attempting to play the stream (after the first video).

i get an empty screen when i pick places. i can confirm google maps has maps for my country.

secodnly, here is a bug i think:
1. connect to wifi
2. launch sociality
3. refresh news feed
4. switch connection to 3g
5. refresh news feed

i get an endless loop situation where the popup to ask me to select an internet connection keeps appearing even though i am already connected. no matter what i select, it keeps popping up.
