CreateNamespace cred.sig
Jul 25 2008, 2:05 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 25 2008, 2:05 PM EDT
The notes read:
Developer credential signature. This is calculated as the HMAC-SHA-1 hash of the developer key (the key parameter), the namespace ID (the namespace.namespaceId parameter, described above), and the current timestamp (the cred.ts parameter). The key used by the HMAC-SHA-1 algorithm should be the developer secret.

For example, in PHP:
$sig = hash_hmac( "sha1", $developer_key . $user_id . time(), $developer_secret, FALSE );

The PHP code is for user service, and does not match the explanation above it. Do I sub the NS in place of the userID? I don't need a userID to generate a NS, do I? Do you find this valuable?

I got it working, by subbing the desired namespace in place of the userID.

My new question is, will returned namespace variables always be in the format "wp-injected-{globalNS}-{localNS}"?

If they follow this pattern, we can auto generate them on our side, otherwise, if there is any deviation from a standard, we will need to write them into a database, which obviously we'd like to avoid. Do you find this valuable?

Hi,

Per http://www.wetpaintinjected.com/thread/1700583/Changing+the+namespace+of+a+cell , it would be best not to rely on any particular pattern on namespaces generated via this API call.
