Hi,

I'm trying to use Drupal 6 as back-end for a map web application that show "ubuntu supporters" in Belgium (see http://map.ubuntu-be.org) and need guidance. The plan is to store user location and their commitments in Drupal. Then the existing JavaScript could be refactored to fetch the data from Drupal instead of the current had-hoc backend. After some research, it seems that the best solution to add (optional) information to user profile is to the Content Profile to create a "Profile node" for volunteering users. This node would have to provides a means to store user location.

I am currently using Flex to consume an amfphp service, and it works great. However, when you try to use the swf on a Facebook profile, you have to click on an image first in order to load the swf.

My thought was to use the JSON server to return JSON to my facebook app. However, I get hit with the cross domain security issue. Has anyone here successfully accessed the JSON Server from a remote domain?

Just a quick note that nedjo posted a note about Services module going into core. This would allow use of XML-RPC, JSON, RSS, REST, SOAP and more to be loaded through a common Services API.

A Code Sprint will take place in Boston this coming Friday that will focus on the inclusion of this new Services API.

In the story here, It was finally decided that we will be using JSON for passing the "data" from client to server. As discussed, we'll be storing details in a JS object array in client. Robert had said that it is preferable to convert JS to php on server.

1. What are the scenarios where serialized JS is prefered over php on server? Basically that answers why we should transfer the data in JS format instead of PHP?
2. Now, once we have the "data" to transfer, What are the possible ways to transfer this from client to server? Is form POST enough or is thr something else that can be used?
