You're doing "POST /maniahome/notification/public/" which is made for sending public notifcations (ie. a notification that will be seen by everyone that bookmark the Manialink" but you specify a receiverName in the object so it fails.

If you want instead to send a notification to someone that will be visible to all its buddies, use "POST /maniahome/notification/personal/" instead.

Someday I'll precise the error messages ^^

There must be something wrong because I have to trace of requests from the user "jonthekiller|lottomania" in the API access logs. Are you sure you didn't changed the URL or something like that?

If you want more precise messages see that: http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws ... r_handling
But if the error is really HTTP 500, you may not have much details (we hide most of the error messages for obvious security reasons).

Can I use the same API account for maniaconnect and for send notification? I use the same actually.

I don't use the same file for maniaconnect and for send notification. It's the same folder.


The player is already authentificate before access to this page but maybe I need to authentificate again? Or I can just take the login like before?

Yes you can.

ManiaConnect Authentication and ManiaHome notifications are 2 distinct things. You just need a normal API user to send notifications, even if you send it to a specific login. But obviously this login can come from a ManiaConnect authentication.

The weird thing is that I actually see your ManiaConnect auth request in the logs, but I don't see anything regarding notifications coming from you in the logs.

With this script :

Code: Select all

<?php
echo "start";
require_once 'libraries/autoload.php';

$login = 'jonthekiller';

$notification = new Maniaplanet\WebServices\Notification();
$notification->receiverName = $login;
$notification->link = 'lottery'; // can also be an URL, or a maniaplanet:/// link
$notification->message = 'jonthekiller has bought a ticket on LottoMania'; // nickname will be prepended in that case
$notification->iconStyle = 'ManiaPlanetLogos';
$notification->iconSubStyle = 'IconPlanetsPerspective';
echo "1";
$maniahome = new Maniaplanet\WebServices\ManiaHome('jonthekiller|lottomania', '****', 'lottery');
echo "2";
$maniahome->postPersonalNotification($notification);

echo "finish";
?>

I can see start12 but not finish.

My script is here : http://www.bczteam.com/~jonthekiller/Ma ... /notif.php

All solved now. The methods had confused me.

Onto another problem: links do not work. ManiaHome attempts to send me to a Manialink (of the URL). On the wiki page you've explicitly documented it as 'can also be a URL'. I don't know if you meant a link to a manialink (file) or a link to a web page (browser). If the latter is not available, could you look into implementing it?

Can you try to add at the begining:

Code: Select all

error_reporting(E_ALL);

And to replace

Code: Select all

$maniahome->postPersonalNotification($notification);

with

Code: Select all

try
{
    $maniahome->postPersonalNotification($notification);
}
catch(\Exception $e)
{
   var_dump($e);
}

I meant "a Manialink URL". I updated the Wiki page.

Probably not . For the whole user experience to be good, we want to avoid that when you click on a link it opens the Web browser. However, you can easilly do a Manialink page that opens a Web page ; that way the user experience is better as the players knows that if he continues, it'll open his web browser. For instance "themaniablog" do that in Maniaplanet, and TM-Carpark do that in TMF.

I have nothing new in the page.
