We're having a little trouble extending our Democracy in Action API module for Drupal to handle Signup Pages and are hopeful that you could point us in the right direction.  

We are able to map the fields to the Signup Form correctly, however the API calls do not seem to be triggering the signup response email as they would if the signup form was submitted directly.  The sequenceof API calls is:

string 'save?xml&object=supporter&First_Name=Ethan&Last_Name=Tester4&Email=ethan%2Btrig4%40echoditto.com&=US&Zip=02139&=&Other_Data_1=en' (length=128)

string 'save?xml&object=signup_page&key=514&supporter_KEY=3370631&username=chris%40echoditto.com&password=PASSWORD6&organization_KEY=5542&First_Name=Ethan&Last_Name=Tester4&Email=ethan%2Btrig4%40echoditto.com&=US&Zip=02139&=' (length=215)

With the response returned being:

string '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data><success object="signup_page" key="514">Modified entry 514</success>
</data>' (length=104)

We initially tried this without submitting the supporter API call before the signup_page call, which resulted in neither the creation of the new member nor the sending of a response email.

Any idea what we're doing wrong here?  Insight's greatly appreciated as we are in the last stretch of development and testing before launch next week.

Thanks,

Ethan

I took the PHP example on salsacommons for how to use getReport.sjs . I tried to make it work, but I get this if I plug the URL into a browser:

error in salsa
details: Error trying to run report query: Report Id 'false' not found
line number: 407
source: var userVals = (typeof arguments[1] == 'undefined') ? null : arguments[1];

I thought that maybe it needed the authentication to happen first, so I tested it with the attached file; still nothin worked.

I tried changing the Curl URL variable. I am trying to extract a report, so I tried:
/getReport.sjs?report_KEY=8069
along with reportKey (which is what is mentioned in the Documentation under "getting data" Report_Key, report_Key, and a few others. I still get basically the same error as above.

Can you pass this on to somebody who might help? I know that you all generally don't support the API, but I'm following the example, but still doesn't get me anywhere.

thanks,

Do we need to host the campaign page on DIA's servers for any reason you can think of?  Prepopulated fields?  Tracking codes?  We can do prepopulated fields based on merges in the e-mail blast, yes?

--Jon

My name is Dmitry, I'm doing DIA integration to the campaign page we
do now and have several questions:

https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/api/getCount.sjs?object=supporter&countColumn=1879
<https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/api/getCount.sjs?object=supporter&countColumn=1879>
this is always returns

<data organization_KEY="-1">
$B!](B
<supporter>
<count>418</count>
</supporter>
</data>

even if I add new entried into the node via calling

https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/save?xml&object=supporter&Email=zzzz2@democracyinaction.org&organization_KEY=1879&First_Name=Brian&Last_Name=Collin
<https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/save?xml&object=supporter&Email=zzzz2@democracyinaction.org&organization_KEY=1879&First_Name=Brian&Last_Name=Collin>

and getting successfull xml results


what I'm trying to do is to count amount of subscribers/supporters of
the campaign. Am I doing it right or wrong?

an the 2nd question:

if we need to subscribe them for only specific petition
https://hq-salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/hq/campaign/edit.jsp?table=petition&key=1418
<https://hq-salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/hq/campaign/edit.jsp?table=petition&key=1418>

what additional parameter should I provide?

like petition=1418 or key=1418 or something else?

https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/save?xml&object=supporter&Email=semenov@share-ideas.com&First_Name=Dmitry&Last_Name=Semenov&organization_KEY=1879&key=1418
<https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/save?xml&object=supporter&Email=semenov@share-ideas.com&First_Name=Dmitry&Last_Name=Semenov&organization_KEY=1879&key=1418>

Thanks,
Dmitry

hey,

was wondering if it would be possible to get a checkout of DIA so we can
set up a local install to test our salsascript against?  thanks much,

I am trying to create a tool for our chapter leaders that will display a list of people in a chapter based off of a smart group (chapter). I am using your external API and php to do this. Right now i can easily pull information out from any table, i.e. supporter information from the supporter table, or group information from the groups or supporter_groups tables, but i dont see any way to link this information together. Is there any way to use the external api to pull data out using more than one table at the same time? My eventual goal is to create a Drupal module to do this, but that is way down the line.

The scenario of this: we have set up a minisite for our campaign, and would like the action form to be placed on the front page. We don&apos;t want to do this through a DIA template. Instead, I want the form to be on the page, and then to process through DIA&apos;s servers.  Currently, I have set this up on the front page of www.december18th.org. I copied the action for the form, as well as a number of hidden values, from the standard DIA forms. However, when I submit the form after filling all the fields, it returns to the same index page with the additional parameters to the url, "?key=0." Then, if I independently visit the DIA action page, I get the error: "There was a problem with your submission. No object was specified." I get the feeling that I am missing some parameter in the form, but I&apos;m not sure what it is.
