Gigya update for MySpace2.0 profiles

As you may know, MySpace users now have the option to upgrade to "Profile 2.0", a new design that gives members new ways to customize their profiles. For MySpace users, upgrading to Profile 2.0 is strictly an opt-in process, so some members will have 1.0 Profiles while others have 2.0 Profiles.  Successfully installing layouts for Profile 2.0 requires installing embed code into a new section (see here for more information).
 
In response, Gigya quickly developed features to make Wildfire compatible with Profile 2.0. Gigya's Wildfire now has the ability to determine the profile type of the user when installing a publisher's layout, and Wildfire will install the embed code into the correct section. If it is a 1.0 profile, the layout posts to the “about me” section. If it is a 2.0 profile, the process automatically switches the user to “no theme” to avoid running over MySpace’s new layout theme, adds the CSS content, and publishes it. If the user has a 1.0 Profile, and the layout provided by the Partner is 2.0, Wildfire will provide the user with feedback displayed within the UI.
 
As usual, Wildfire does not make any changes to the code on a user's page and partners will need to provide supported codes for each profile type (1.0 or 2.0).
 
Profile 2.0 also creates an issue for including links on layouts because the CSS box where users put the layout 2.0 code does not allow for HTML. To address this problem, we have also completed a feature that will allow partners to post a separate HTML link to the “About Me” section. When Wildfire posts a 2.0 layout it will post content to both the new CSS layout section and the “About Me” section. See below for implementation details.
