social-networking

i wish to develeop a php mysql based social networking site. Registered users will have the option to add another user as a friend just as is done in Facebook. If user A clicks on the 'add friend' link on user B's profile, friend-request records will be made in A's and B's databases accordingly. When B visits the waiting friend-requests- showing-page ( as such the profile page), the request will be shown querying B's db.This much is pretty simple to do i think. But while B is online, C can make a friend-request to B. I want to make a notification to B that C has made such a request even if B

On a website, one can use a social sharing javascript library like addthis in order to propose share buttons to the user without having to program everything from scratch. Do you know any library doing the same sort of thing directly inside an android application ? On Android we have Intents for this. If you like to give the user an opportunity to share something, you can fire up an intent like this for example: Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); share.setType("image/jpeg") // might be text, sound, whatever share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, pathToPicture); startActivity(Intent

I'm working in a project with Django and I'm trying to share pages in facebook and twitter I have problems on facebook, I want to customize the Title and summary shared, to change the text when you share an Index Page and any other page.

I like to integrate Facebook, twitter and Google plus to my app, so that using the app, user can update their status. Therefore I like to know how this can be done. Thanks As for facebook and twitter, you can do this through their API. For facebook, fortunately they have provide android developer with facebook sdk for android , example included on the SDK. And for Twitter you can use external libraries as written on twitter developer docs , and there is a library called Twitter4J that is android ready. Unfortunately Google Plus API are not available yet. Ovidiu Latcu I would highly recommend

Came across the Contacts plugin while searching. But as per the usage, described in the readme file. It requires username and password to fetch contacts. But that's not a good approach. For Gmail or for your specific purpose: Gmail Contacts . For Yahoo contacts, as far as I know, Contacts seems to be the one that is used. If someone has a better alternative. Please do mention. For Twitter, I would highly recommend the Twitter gem. For Facebook, you already got your Facebook gem sorted. However, I personally use FB Graph . Edit: Hmm, I tried having a look at the doc. No examples mentioned.

I am doing a community website that requires me to calculate the similarity between any two users. Each user is described with the following attributes: age, skin type (oily, dry), hair type (long, short, medium), lifestyle (active outdoor lover, TV junky) and others. Can anyone tell me how to go about this problem or point me to some resources? George Dontas Another way of computing (in R ) all the pairwise dissimilarities (distances) between observations in the data set. The original variables may be of mixed types. The handling of nominal, ordinal, and (a)symmetric binary data is achieved

I have seen this format (Image shown below) of share option in most of the iOS applications that support iOS 7. Is there a default code/framework available to implement this share option as it is shown in the image below? Abizern What you are looking for is the UIActivityViewController . Since you asked a general question I can't do more than give you a link to the documentation sjaak bakker In addition to the accepted answer, a small piece of example code - (void)shareText:(NSString *)text andImage:(UIImage *)image andUrl:(NSURL *)url { NSMutableArray *sharingItems = [NSMutableArray new]; if

Am in the process of developing some app for Facebook using Django! I've started first by building the app in Django and its shaping up pretty well, now am wondering how can I make it a Facebook app. I would really appreciate real world example for Facebook apps made with Django. I just saw the presentation of Mr. Eric Florenzano at Pycon 2010 , and he talks about a side project he did on facebook using django. From PYCON 2010: If you've been using Django for any amount of time, you've probably learned some pretty standard practices on how to use it. This talk aims to shatter those conceptions
