A note about using hrefs in Apps

Please avoid hard coded links pointing to our sandbox server inside your applications.  Instead, you should either use relative links or point to www.hi5.com for Notifications and Activity to make your applications function properly and avoid any confusion amongst users.  For any other links inside your app, use requestNavigateTo() or www.hi5.com if requestNavigateTo is not an option for some reason.

For example:

Notifications and Activity links can be relative or to www.hi5.com:

www.hi5.com/friend/apps/displayAppCanvas.do?appId=xxxx

or /friend/apps/displayAppCanvas.do?appId=xxxx

 
Application Links should use requestNavigateTo or www.hi5.com:

requestNavigateTo(‘canvas’,params);

or www.hi5.com/friend/apps/displayAppCanvas.do?appId=xxxx


You can get the appId by hovering mouse over Refresh or Edit link from the Developer Console and observing the url.
  Feel free to contact hi5 Platform team at platform-help@hi5.com if you have any questions.
