Thanks Scott, I didn't realize you could use the sort option in that method.

Paging Topics by recently_created and recently_active Gives the Same Results

I'm looking up the recently created and recently active topics using the ruby api something like this:
sfn.companies['overlaytv'].topics.page(0, :order => 'recently_created', :limit =>5) and
sfn.companies['overlaytv'].topics.page(0, :order => 'recently_active', :limit =>5)

the results from these queries are the same for some reason.

looking at these two queries though (through the main site) does show differences.
http://getsatisfaction.com/overlaytv/... and
http://getsatisfaction.com/overlaytv/...

Am I using the api incorrectly?

You could also right click on the image and select 'Copy Image Location' and then paste that into the "STEP 1: Paste video link here:" input field on www.overlay.tv.

Let us know how it works for you!

awesome, thanks scott. was browsing the code on github earlier, looks like a very slick api wrapper you've developed btw

ah, very cool, i figured the lazy loading meant the first time you tried accessing a value it would load, not that you explicitly needed to call load. Another somewhat related issue, I want to be able to link back to the getsatisfaction topic, the url that is in the topic object links to the xml feed, going to http://getsatisfaction.com/company/to... gives me an error saying the topic doesn't exist.

Topic.content returns an empy string with ruby-api

I'm using the api to grab some of the latest topics for our company on getsatisfaction with the ruby gem you guys developed. I seem to get the topics fine, iterating through each and doing topic.subject outputs the subject, but topic.content returns an empty string

Multiple topic widgets on one page

I was going to add two topic widgets on the same page but noticed your js populates it based on the id of the div in the widget code you supply. this doesn't seem very robust, wouldn't it make more sense to pass the id as a parameter on the topics.widget call, which is then passed to the callback method so that it can load a specific div?

I was just confused by your wording, figured the one that says 'you're a css genius' meant you needed to know css to use that one, not that it came with some css for it. Terminology just seems backwards to me and I was pointing it out to you guys.

widget codes are switched

It seems like the codes for topic widgets are inverted; css genius one is beside drop it on my blog (the drop it in one comes with some css i'm assuming?)
