I've been working to integrate UMG 8 with Active Social. I've also done an extensive search through the site for any information pertaining to this. I've also read this thread: http://www.bizmodules.net/Support/tabid/55/forumid/2/postid/23407/view/topic/Default.aspx With my testing, I've added all available AS tokens to a journal template and get different results based on photo upload, video upload, or add media from url. I understand the issue with url's and video uploads. But I don't understand the issue with photo uploads, and I wonder if it's directly attributed to UMG utilizing the AddPhoto method. I created a separate journal item for UMG called media and created a journal template for it that is different from the photo journal template, but when uploading photos, it defaults to the photo journal template. Which in turn is adding the photo in two locations! Thus the use of the AddPhoto method. But whenever adding videos or url imports, UMG will faithfully use the correct journal template. Is this intended behavior? Or is there another way to setup the AS journal templates so this doesn't happen? If this is intended, PLEASE reconsider how UMG interacts with AS. I've also looked into using UMG to access the AS user folders instead of having a UMG gallery, but because AS also allows for files such as documents, it's not a viable option.

yes, it's intended, when the photo is actually uploaded, UMG calls the AddPhoto method instead, in other case it calls the AddProfileItem method.

Do you have any plans to change this? Like I said, when using AddPhoto, this causes the image to be saved in two different locations, along with other multiple thumbs and image sizes being created in two different locations. I'm not entirely sure on how the integration works, but I do know the link method also allows for an image thumb.

You said "the link method also allows for an image thumb.", I don't fully understand? can you explain in more detail? As far as I know, when use the AddProfileItem method it doesn't have a thumbnail in the journal entry.

I checked the AM website and that's all I could find was information on the "AddProfileItem" http://www.activemodules.com/activesocial/kb/journal-api-addprofileitem/ I dug through some of my journal templates and I know this token [AS:JOURNALINFO:SUMMARY] will display the body of a journal entry with images also being displayed properly. Reading through the journal api for addprofileitem, the fulltext parameter allows for html.

I'll add an option to set whether to actually add the photo to active social, or just add a journal entry.

I already implemented it on my localhost, however, I found a critical issue, the summary doesnt' support "src=", which means I cannot use a img tag in the body text. let me know if I am wrong. thanks.

it doesnt' support "src=", however it allows you to use "Src=", I had this experience before with active social, so I tried it and it works as I expected. You can download UMG 810 now, which offers an option to actually add a photo to active social, or adds a journal entry.

I am trying to put the img html tag into the summary of a journal entry but it never appears in the database record. It looks like it is being filtered out even though I have the xss option set to true which should allow it through.

I have managed to get an img displayed in the AS Journal but only by using the journal body field. Do you know if it is possible to use the summmary?

No, when call the journal API, UMG post photo description to AS as the summary text.
