The All New OcUK PS3 User Database With Game & Headset Tracking

[Sumanji]

You mean us.playstation.com - yeah they've given it a new 2010 look (which looks crap tbh).

Turns out Sony have blocked direct access to http://us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/Thesnipergecko

Which is a users profile page, it looks as though they using a jquery/ajax method for calling their page data. This could be bad news for happygamers if its the case.

 

[ajgoodfellow]

Oh no

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Eeep that's a PITA. When you say blocked, is there another way you are able to view it then?

 

[cheets64]

Why

 

[rp2000]

How come my signature is showing but no-one else's is?

Not unless you know a way of calling jquery/ajax files that sit on sony's site

var redirectURL=getpublicprofileURL();  
  		document.getElementById('profileFrame').src='/playstation/psn/profiles/'+redirectURL;
  
        
  function getpublicprofileURL ( ) {
  var  parameterName="onlinename=";  
  var queryString = window.top.location.search.substring(parameterName.length+1);    
  if(queryString!=null && (queryString.length>0) )return queryString; 
 
  return null;

This loads the source into an iframe and uses something along the lines of
"/playstation/psn/profiles/?onlinename=Thesnipergecko" for the iframe src.

However I cannot directly access the iframe page it keeps telling me page cannot be found.

http://us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/?onlinename=Thesnipergecko

Such a PITA, I wouldn't mind but the new website is CRAP!
This loads into an iframe on the page

Edit: posted at the same time as TSG, no longer relevant.

Just seen your new post. What a pain. I'll have a looksee myself and see if I can come up with anything.

 

[Thesnipergecko]

It appears the profiles page cannot be directly accessed, hence why they ajax .load it into the iframe

 

[SiD the Turtle]

What's the URL of the page that contains the iframe?

Edit: I'd hazard a guess that the profile page you're trying to grab is somehow dynamically generated by the parent page, if I use Perl's mechanize to try and step into the page it returns a 404.

 

[Thesnipergecko]

Iframe: http://us.playstation.com/publictrophy/index.htm?onlinename=Thesnipergecko
Iframe src: http://us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/Thesnipergecko

Yes, I cannot get past the 404

 

[ps3ud0]

Ahh ul TSG - fingers crossed...

Ta. Strange, Firebug can see the frame source correctly from the main page and in Firefox if you select 'show frame in new tab' the profile page correctly loads. So somehow the parent page feeds the frame. Any way your script can call the parent page and then grab the iframe?

I am trying to do it in Perl but I don't know the correct command to break into an iframe.

Edit: perhaps the referrer for the page must be set as the parent page for it to work. Again no idea how to actually do that mind.

The signatures are displaying now but showing no statistics for PS3 games/trophies.

Still looking to find a way to break into the PS3 website to get the data needed.

Presumably then this wasn't a simple case of fixing itself once Sony had fixed their issues?

 

[ps3ud0]

Nothing to do with the PS3 issue - Sony have changed the way the PSN trophy info is called on their website and so broken whatever TSG had in place to go there and aggregrate the data for his site...

Sounds like SID the Turtle might have a lead...

I am sure there is otehr sites that offer signatures with PSN/trophy information embedded (apart from the official Sony Portable IDs, which (presumably) still work.

Have all 3rd party ones stopped working?

Just had a quick look and it appears I'm not the only one experiencing issues, I am going to spend a few hours on this tonight to try and crack it.
