Is display name the same as app name?

openfeint.launchDashboard("highscore") does nothing.

Hi everyone,

@amigoni - The display name is the string displayed by the OpenFeint user interface that is included in your compiled app. It can be any name you want.

@fdi777 - Which close button are you referring to? Can you provide some more information? thanks.

@horacebury - Try passing the leaderboard ID in your call, like this:

1

openfeint.launchDashboard( "highscore", { leaderboardID = yourID } )

@jon -- The issue with setHighScore() not working with displayText was an issue that we found before the 2010.109 release and is/was, presumably, fixed. I just tried using setHighScore() w/displayText in the same build and it worked as expected, so I'm a little puzzled. Here's the test code that I'm using (requires ui.lua in your project folder and a single button image).

        local newscore = os.time()

@Tim: I found out what I was doing wrong. For future reference, and for anyone else reading, this is what I did wrong:

I modified the string within the table like so (didnt work):

1

openfeint.setHighScore( {leaderboardID="313263", score=newscore, displayText="Level " .. newscore } )

When I stored it in a variable first, and then passed the parameter, everything worked fine:

1
2

local displayScore = "Level " .. newscore
openfeint.setHighScore( {leaderboardID="313263", score=newscore, displayText=displayScore} )

Hello, the close button I was referring to is the close button inside the open feint drop downs.

It was a problem related to my own code hiding everything after calling open feint.

However, unlockAchievement() in the new game edition version is definitely problematic. I have tried everything for a week now and it crashes everytime it is called if compiled using the latest game edition.

Exact issue can be found @ http://developer.anscamobile.com/issues/2658

Can't get openFeint to work in device/xcode builds in the newest version of Corona (243).

Simply attempting to initiate openFeint will make device builds not work properly. Removing it makes the app work as normal.

edit:
Okay, seems there's a new parameter that needs to be included.

Does Corona support OpenFeint offline mode????
Are you planning on support it???

I'm trying to store the openfeint username into a variable in order to implement it into pubnub but I can't seem to find a way. Any ideas?

Isn't always the way. Ask questions, and then you find the answers later yourself. After I relaxed and sat down with my iPad and game, I explored the OF dashboard and found out how to change my player name, how to add another player, etc, etc. I expect I'll continue to learn how to use it.

But I would still like to get rid of the Game Center prompt.

And here's a bug. When the dashboard first opens, the title bar at the top has both "Leaderboards" and my game's name superimposed. "Leaderboards" should not be there, the back button has "Leaderboards" on it.

Yes, you are correct. That correction fixed it. Thanks.

When OpenFeint is used the first time using the openfeint.init(), the orientation of the Enable OpenFeint dialog box is displayed incorrectly if the app is using landscape mode. It seems as though the dialog is trying to use portrait even though the app is using landscape.

I thought I did something wrong with my code; but it turns out if I try to use the sample code for OpenFeint in landscape that came with Corona SDK the same thing happens as well. So there is clearly something wrong with OpenFeint module during its init() operation.

@makelevin: Please enter the issue you're experiencing (with full details, etc.) in the bug base so this can be sure to get fixed in a later release. Thanks!

I'm having issues where the init function seems to require 4 parameters as opposed to the three mentioned

Hi!
When I run Corona, it says:
WARNING: openfeint.init() is deprecated. Use gameNetwork.init() instead.
WARNING: gameNetwork.init() is not supported in simulator.
WARNING: openfeint.launchDashboard() is deprecated. Use gameNetwork.show() instead.

So I would say the info in this page should be updated to reflect the new functionality.

I write here what I think is the new way of invoking game network.

local gameNetwork = require "gameNetwork"
gameNetwork.init ("openfeint",of_product_key, of_product_secret, display_name, of_app_id)
gameNetwork.show ()

Today I did received this email from Openfeint:

Important announcement to all OpenFeint developer partners - please check to make sure you have integrated the new iOS SDK 2.12.5, in order to avoid rejection during the Apple app review process.

It was recently discovered that our "updateBadge" symbol coincided with an internal symbol that Apple began filtering this week from app store submissions. OpenFeint no longer needs this symbol, and has therefore removed it from our latest iOS SDK, 2.12.5.

We encourage developers to either use the newest version, iOS SDK 2.12.5, available now on our download page, or to remove the 4 lines of text from previous versions of the iOS SDK before submitting to Apple.

Resources:
SDK 2.12.5 Download -- http://www.openfeint.com/source_code?version=2.12.5
SDK 2.12.5 Readme -- http://support.openfeint.com/dev/readme-for-openfeint-ios-sdk-2-12-5/
Manual code removal from previous versions of the iOS SDK -- http://support.openfeint.com/dev/updatebadge/

This page says "Corona uses OpenFeint version 2.7.2."

Somebody nows something about this?
Are we affected in our last daily builds?

Regards,

Varela

Ansca should update these docs.
