If a user don't have installed the Aurigma app on his/her iPhone/iPod/iPad and she/he press on the Upload Images link it goes directly to the app store for downloading the app.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
 window.launchAurigma = function() {
   var start = new Date();
   setTimeout(function() {
     if (new Date() - start > 2000) {
       return;
     }
     window.location = 'http://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/aurigma-up/id432611633?mt=8';
   }, 1000);

<!-- Use this one with the API / Code Designer //-->
   window.location = 'aurup:?uploadUrl=http://yourdomain.com/upload&redirectUrl=http://yourdomain.com/gallery';

<!-- Use this one with the sample files //-->
   window.location = '<?php echo build_url('upload.php', 'gallery.php', 'index.php', TRUE); ?>';
 };
</script>

<a href="javascript:launchAurigma();">Upload Images</a>

Thanks for the post pavabe. When implementing this, I still get the general Safari browser error before it gets redirected. Does the same occur for you?

Thanks,

- Pat

Hi Pat,

Could you please confirm that the error message you see is "Cannot open page"?
If so, this is an expected behavior.

The function provided by Patrick works in the following way:
  1. Safari tries to open 'aurup:?uploadUrl=http://yourdomain.com/upload&redirectUrl=http://yourdomain.com/gallery' URL.
  2. if there is no Aurigma Up installed on the device, the attempt fails and you get "Cannot open page" error.
  3. After that Safari opens iTunes page with the app.


If you see different error message please provide me with a screenshot or error message text, also please share the link to your page and the code.

Thanks.

Tried using the above code and the upload link just didn't respond with anything.

Ideally, I just want to test if the Aurigma Up app is installed, and if so, skip the 'Get Aurigma Up' button.

Here's my code with 'conditional' statements commented -

{***** IF Aurigma Up not installed *****}

In order to upload gig photos from your iPhone or iPad, you need the following <b>free</b> app installed
<br><br>
<form method="post" action="http://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/aurigma-up/id432611633?mt=8">
<input type="submit" value="Aurigma Up" class="jform button">
</form>
<br>
Click on the above button to install this app
<br><br>

{***** ELSE *****}

<a href="aurup:?uploadUrl={$JAMROOM_URL|jr_urlencode}%2FGigLodge_upload.php&redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fgiglodge.com%2F%3Fgmode%3Dgig%26from_upload%3D1&redirectDelay=0&returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fgiglodge.com%2F&uploadTimeOut=30&licenseKey={$GigLodge_aurigma_api_key}&fields=gig_id%3D{$gig_id}%3Bvlatitude%3D{$vlatitude}%3Bvlongitude%3D{$vlongitude}%3Bmode%3DiPhone%3Bdonar_id%3D{$_USER.band_id}"><b>Upload gig images</b></a>
<br><br>

{***** /IF *****}

So, how to test if app is installed?
Thanks
Pa

Hi,

I tried to google a solution for you.
It seems that it is impossible to detect if the app is installed, unless it uses custom URL scheme.

Unfortunately Aurigma Up doesn't use any, so there is no way you can test if the app is installed.

Please see my search results for more details.
