Hi Priti,
Should be fixed now! Just clear your cache in IE and reload. :-)

Thanks,
Sid

Sorry about that, the link needs to be placed. You can currently access it by adding /rss to a URL (e.g. http://nincha.com/video/94566/rss).

You're right -- have disabled it.

Ah, ok. Do you know if you're running the latest version of the app? 1.5 was released just a few months ago. Try updating if you're not and let's see if that does something.

Sid

Hi Pam,
Are you talking about Memiary.com or the iPhone app? I just tested both and they seemed to work.

What browser are you using? Can you try using it in another one (i.e. Chrome) and see if the problem still persists?

Thanks,
Sid

Thanks for reporting -- should be fixed now!

Oops, they should be:
http://www.memiary.com/api/getentries/
http://www.memiary.com/api/setentries/

Have fixed it here: http://blog.memiary.com/post/20917140...

Enjoy!

For anyone who wants to use it, please e-mail me for a unique developer "key" at sid@nincha.com. This is needed with every request.

1) GetUser
http://www.memiary.com/api/getuser/

Needs variables: key, username, password

If user doesn't exist, creates account and shows "signedup":
<memiary>
<status>true</status>
<action>signedup</action>
</memiary>

If user exists and credentials (username/password) are correct, shows "loggedin" indicator:
<memiary>
<status>true</status>
<action>loggedin</action>
</memiary>

(Standard to other requests too) If user exists and credentials are incorrect, shows "false" and "invalid info":
<memiary>
<status>false</status>
<action>invalidinfo</action>
</memiary>

(Standard to other requests too) If not all fields are passed (i.e. username/password/key), shows "fieldsmissing":
<memiary>
<status>false</status>
<action>fieldmissing</action>
</memiary>

(Standard to other requests too) If key is found to be invalid, shows "invalidkey":
<memiary>
<status>false</status>
<action>invalidkey</action>
</memiary>

2) GetEntries
http://www.memiary.com/api/getuser/

Needs variables: key, username, password, lastUpdate (in format: 2008-11-10 10:08:38)

For default, i.e. first attempt, use "0000-00-00 00:00:00". This will return ALL the entries for that user.

If no entries are found:
<memiary>
<status>false</status>
<action>fieldmissing</action>
</memiary>

If entries are found with a timestamp that is later than lastUpdate (<lastupdated> is the timestamp container in each entry just incase you find it useful, shows when it was lastupdated):
<memiary>
<servertime>2008-11-10 11:19:17</servertime>

<entry>
<date>2008-11-10</date>
<lastupdated>0000-00-00 00:00:00</lastupdated>
<one>BLAH1</one>
<two>BLAH2</two><two>
</two><three>BLAH3</three><three>
</three><four>BLAH4</four><four>
</four><five>BLAH5</five><five>
</five></entry>

<entry>
<date>2008-11-09</date>
<lastupdated>0000-00-00 00:00:00</lastupdated>
<one>BLAH1</one>
<two>BLAH2</two><two>
</two><three>BLAH3</three><three>
</three><four>BLAH4</four><four>
</four><five>BLAH5</five><five>
</five></entry>

</memiary>

3) SetEntries
http://www.memiary.com/api/getuser/

Needs variables: key, username, password, date (in format: 2008-11-10)
Optional variables: one, two, three, four, five (indicates each list item)

If entries are successfully updated (as long as the "needed" variables are supplied, this should be the case), shows:
<memiary>
<status>true</status>
<date>2008-11-11</date>
<action>entryupdated</action>
</memiary></lastupdated>

Hi Rob, not sure why this is so, I just saved a few entries on those very dates. What browser are you using? Care to share screenshots? Also, if you have the iPhone app, try that out too.

Hi Alan,
Are you interested in pursuing this?

If you have time + the skills, I can probably give you access to the full API.

Get in touch at feedback@memiary.com.

Thanks,
Sid

Hi there,
Apologies for the delay -- missed the question!

I just recently purchased a 3GS which should arrive on Friday, so when I get to try it out I'll let you know what we can do.

Thanks,
Sid

Can you please point to or send a screenshot of where that's being displayed? Couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Sid

Hi,
What's your Memiary username?

This problem has been noticed when a username is logged in multiple times with different cases. For example, you could have signed up with "drjones", but when you logged in the next time with the iPhone app it auto-capitalized the D (Drjones) which caused the entries to be written under a separate username.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your question.

Re: your privacy -- we will never ever sell your data, use your address (in fact, we don't even ask for one -- not even for signing up!), and all content/memories on the site are yours and strictly yours. Infact, I'd go as far as to say that we won't even monetize the site with ads. I made Memiary over a weekend primarily for myself, and the fact that it now has over 20,000 users is in itself a huge reward for me.

Re: privacy policy -- you're right, we should have one. It's something I just haven't got around to putting up since I don't want to copy/paste a generic one out of a random website. It might take some time, but I'll try and get something up as soon as I can.

Becky,
Thanks for your question.

The could be two things that could cause this:

1) What is your username? Sometimes the iPhone capitalizes the first letter which causes a problem with displaying the entries. Try logging in with the username in the case you signed up in (e.g. becky instead of Becky).

2) Have you recorded any entries this year? If not, the iPhone does not have a way to view "All" past entries (just week, month, and year). You can use the web app to view All the entries under Past->All Time.

Sid

I think I've figured out the problem -- this isn't to do with the iPhone app.

So, here's the deal. Your real account (the one you probably signed up with) is "Fuzzy" [uppercase F]. Once in a while, perhaps on the iPhone app, you login with "fuzzy" [lowercase f]. This login works, but the writes that get to the database get written under "fuzzy", which it differentiates from "Fuzzy", and therefore you essentially have two accounts. The past week page doesn't differentiate in terms of the cases, so you can see ALL your posts in there from both accounts. This also explains some of the double listings (i.e. Sun 18 Jan).

Until I can fix the problem, I'm going to go through your account and manually change all entries to "Fuzzy" (uppercase F). Meanwhile, you can make sure that you're only logging with "Fuzzy".

Jason,
Thanks for reporting this. Please see this thread for a very related issue (Memiary->iPhone syncing not working) -- the person was able to fix it by reinstalling the app: http://getsatisfaction.com/memiary/to...

I've definitely never heard of it showing up in the Weekly view and not the daily view -- infact, I'm not sure if this is even technically possible. Can you please give me your username?

Also, if you have some time on your hands and if this is a fairly serious issue, it'd be great if you could post a couple screenshots.

Thanks,
Sid

Great to know! Glad it worked out -- if you come across a glitch again, do leave a reply in here.

I'm really sorry you're experiencing this, but there is not much I can do from my side. I've had about 10 friends of mine on both the iPhone and iPod Touch try it out in all kinds of modes over the last couple of months (not to mention hundreds who have bought the app), and there have been no reports of any kind. In other words, it's not possible to debug something when it isn't broken for the testers.

Out of curiosity, have you tried reinstalling the app?

I'm pretty sure it's not your device's fault -- the only possible explanations could be the installation or your account. Reinstalling will validate the first part, and if you can give me your username, I can check up the database to make sure it's aligned with the others in terms of settings, etc.

Again, sorry about this -- I'm just as helpless as you are.
