Are there any thoughts to provide a facebook "app" so that I can share my logs on my facebook page, maybe enter my workouts from that page, etc...
Here is something you can look at (this application is horrible btw).

Brant, if you go into your Training Log > Tools > Scripts you can find code to display on your Facebook page. That's what I've done with my blog.

| I tried those scripts but I don't think Facebook allows you to enter JavaScript elements. |

Ahhh...I had similar problems with a Delphi blog--so I moved my blog to Blogger, LOL.
I think MySpace has similar issues, unfortunately. Hopefully Eric will be along with some ideas.

Hi Brant,
It is definitely something I want to get to. Since it's another technology that I have to learn, I need to wait until I'm done with GPS upload first. In the meanwhile, if someone can volunteer to do some research on it to save me some time, it would be greatly appreciated.

One thing that would help is if you could put together an API for your site. The scripts are fine but they are hard to parse.
For example instead of
document.write('');
Have a URL I could hit that would return a list of the last 5 workouts and return
<workouts>
<workout id="ecfebc780b1e48b198ae81712ba99735">
<date>6/12/2007</date>
<type>Bike</type>
<time>41:07</time>
<distance units="km">7</distance>
</workout>
</workouts>

mypsace doesn't allow javascript coding in their profiles.
From their profile editor section:
"You may enter HTML/DHTML or CSS in any text field. Javascript is not allowed. "
I'm not techie enough to know a work around for this... anyone got an idea? I think Facebook integration is an excellent idea, plus a great way to get more people involved in Running Ahead. |

Check out this one, though:
http://apps.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2427508494&b&ref=pd
Not because it's good or anything, but just because it has a discussion topic called: "runningahead.com is a much better running log site"
Hahaha, I love it. A facebook app for RA would be huge, though. |

| Another vote here to get RA feed onto my Facebook profile. Facebook and SN applications that can be your central portal on the web, integrating your other dynamic sites like blogs and logs are the way of the future, the present even. I'm a bit envious of the folks who have got LogMyRun feeds into their Facebook profile, but I have now got RA brand loyalty and would never be so fickle as to change for that reason. Eric will find a way! |

I saw that mapmyrun.com use an html-element called "iframe" to integrate maps to userblogs, for example <iframe src="http://js.mapmyfitness.com/embed/blogview.html?r=8a1b78fb0503a964a7fb19135d429b78&t=run" height="700px" width="100%" frameborder="0">
Perhaps that´s an opportunity, when you can´t use JavaScript.</iframe> |

| I also vote for this feature. And if you could challenge other FB users (ie first to log 50 miles, etc) ... that would be cool... really really cool. |

I've been watching this thread, hoping for some hot Facebook action.
I would also like to vote for Facebook integration. I just want everyone there to know how much I rock (or not, depending on the week). |

This once again comes down to the closed nature of RunningAhead. There seems like there's a pool of technical people out there who could use an actual RH API (rest, soap, xml-rpm, pick your poison), and then the community could put our own apps together.
Instead we wait all year for Eric to implement a single feature just for GPS users (and I'm guessing just forerunner users at that). sigh.
