yml:friend-selector

Getting the following error: Social Directory data not available

With the following code: <yml:friend-selector uid="viewer" multiple="true" size="10" />

I have tried using viewer, I've tried using the viewer's GUID. I don't have a form created around the selector as I was just trying to see the friend selector by itself. What other info do I need to provide to help solve this issue?

  • Also, I read cocobean's post and I tried removing/re-adding the app and I still get the same result.

  • Hi VampyreEmpire, we'll see if we can nail down the issue...I just have a few questions for you
    - Are you having an issue with other personal information tags such as yml:name or yml:user-badge?
    - Was this a sudden issue (as Cocobean posted) or has the tag never worked for you?
    - Do you have any problem accessing other personal user data?

    Thanks,
    - Jon

    - No issues with yml:name, yml:profile-pic or yml:user-badge. They all show up correctly for multiple accounts viewing the same page.
    - No, it wasn't sudden, I've always been able to get the yml:name etc working, I only just yesterday attempted to use the friend selector.
    - I have not attempted to access any other data as I am still in the process of learning. I assume you mean using the YQL methods?

    Thanks for your reply,
    Sean

  • I don't know if this helps but I tried going to the friend inviter on Cocobean's app and got the same error. Below is a screenshot:

  • I got the friend-selector to work, but it only shows connections, not contacts. Is this by design?

  • Yes that is by design, since you have a two way shared agreement with connection, you will be able to use more data than you would a connection. What was the issue with the friend selector as the code seemed to function when I loaded it in an application.

    "Social Directory data not available" is the message that is displayed when you don't have any connections. I wrapped the friend-selector in a fork where I check if there there are any connects at all (using getCOnnections($start, $count, $total)) before displaying the YML.
