YAP canvas page - viewer not logged in

when a user goes to a yap canvas page and is not logged in, you see a yellow box at the top of the page that says 'Would you like to use [app name]?'

+ currently the app developer thumbnail does not display correctly
+ the app developer name links to the current page (the app canvas page)

my app content contains a swf so this is yml:swf specific ~

+ in the app 'window' i see the message 'This content requires Adobe Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.' - when i know i have flash installed. it would be nice to show something else here when the user is not logged in.

    You can customize the alternative content within the yml:swf tag

    <yml:swf src=...>
    my custom alt content
    </yml:swf>

  • thats good to know- but i think the issue is that i do have flash installed and if im not allowed to see or use the app when not logged in, the page should show something else.

    i noticed that if you ARE logged in and go to a canvas page for an app that you havent installed, under the yellow bar prompting you to 'Add' the app, you see information about the app with an image and a short description. i think it makes sense to show this to someone that is not logged in - or something similar - as opposed to a 'broken' version of the app (im not sure what the user sees on a non-flash app and is not logged in).
