Following is a list of frequently asked questions about Wetpaint Injected. Please feel free to augment this page or, if you prefer, simply post a thread below. Have a question that isn't addressed on this page, feel free to contact anyone on the Wetpaint Injected team.

What browsers are supported?
All major browsers are supported, including Firefox 2,Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 with limited WYSIWYG support for Safari.

How do I get the most SEO value possible?
Lots of ways. Read our SEO recommendations guide.

Can I see it in action?
Yes, you can. Check out our demo using Wordpress.

What technologies does it use?
At its core, Wetpaint Injected is a series of data access APIs that are called with RESTful requests. These either return HTML-formatted content or XML-formatted data. Once the content is on your site, the client application activates the controls with JavaScript. Finally, a Flash-based proxy allows client requests to Wetpaint's servers.

I want to inject user-generated content in my site, but where do I begin?
Start with step one of our integration guide. This provides step-by-step instructions for putting user-generated content on your site.

Can I have a development environment where I use test data?
Yes. To do so sign up for two self-serve develop keys. One developer key can be used as your sandbox environment, while the other can be used to host your production data.

What happened to the togo sandbox environment?
In the past, Wetpaint Injected has supported two environments: WAPI for production, and TOGO for sandbox. Starting September 24, 2008, we discontinued the togo environment. We will continue to support users accessing togo sandbox data, but we will no longer assign keys for this environment.

After I call the user login API, how long does the authentication last?
The ticket from the UserService.login API is valid for 10 hours after it was issued.

Do I need to call the user logout API every time my users sign out of my site?
Not really, but you should. The UserService.logout API invalidates the current ticket for that user, preventing it from being used again. If your users sign out of your site and you do not call the logout API, it may be possible for someone else to continue to use that ticket (with a shared computer, for example).

How do I change a user's role?
Roles are changed via an API call from your system (actions include promote, demote, and ban). Please see the UserService.login for information on roles.

Can I seed my cells with content to help my users get started?
Yes, and there are two ways to do it. If you want the same default content to appear on multiple cells, implement templates. If you want each cell to have unique content, call the CellService.editCell API directly with the first content update.

Can I modify or style the content that appears on my site?
The short answer is that because the user-generated content is rendered directly on your site you can have complete control over it. Any control for that content is similarly modifiable by your own CSS and JavaScript. However, we only support the controls and methods that are prefixed with "WPCAPI". If it begins with "WPC," it may change as we update our code. Find out more about the difference in our client application documentation.

Is there a place where I can see all of the edits my users are making?
Yes, there are a number of places. First, every content cell includes a "content history" link that lists every revision of that content cell. From that lightbox, there is a link to "View all recent updates to this site," which shows a consolidated report of revisions for every cell on your site. This report data is also available directly from the ReportService. Also, we offer a few RSS feeds in our FeedService that report on usage activity.

What is/was BALCO?
While Wetpaint Injected was being developed, we had internally called it Project BALCO. After we launched the service, the BALCO name was retired.

What do I do if I find a bug?
Tell us about it. Visit the New Issues page and start a thread describing your error.

What if I've forgotten my developer key?
Send the Injected admin a private message and request your developer key. NOTE: You must send the request from the Wetpaint account you were signed in with when you requested the key.
