Trying to get Javascript sample container to work with PHP Gadget Server
I've been playing with the Shindig PHP code and did manage to get a
gadget server running with it, but I cannot get the javascript
opensocial
sample containers to work with it. I've got this directory layout:
/gadgets/src - PHP code
/gadgets/javascript
/gadgets/features
/gadgets/config
I've tried running the samples in the javascript directory, but the
first
problem is that rpc.js is referenced in ../../js/ which does not exist
anywhere in the Shindig distribution. So I tried including it from
/gadgets/features/rpc, but I'm still getting some errors when testing
the samples:
gadgets.util has no properties
[Break on this error] var params = gadgets.util.getUrlParameters();
rpc.js (line 40)
gadgets.rpc has no properties
[Break on this error] gadgets.rpc.register('resize_iframe',
this.setHeight);
gadgets.js (line 182)
gadgets.container has no properties
[Break on this error] var gadget0 = gadgets.container.createGadget
({specUrl: specUrl0});
sample1.html (line 19)
Now I could be going about this completely wrong, so any nudge
in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you Chris,
I did manage to get this solved, but one thing that would have
helped would have been more granule mod_rewrite rules. The
rule included basically eradicated all of my existing mod_rewrite
since it's a catch-all. What I had to do was figure out each event
and create individual rules:
RewriteRule /gadgets/ifr /gadgets/index.php [L]
RewriteRule /gadgets/proxy /gadgets/index.php [L]
RewriteRule /gadgets/js /gadgets/index.php [L]
RewriteRule /gadgets/socialdata /gadgets/index.php [L]
It would be much nicer if the given .htaccess used this
format as well.

Hey Scott,
The example's expect their hosted under /gadgets/files/container/*.html (in
both java and php land), hence the ../../js is actually /gadgets/js event,
and not a folder.
The /js event then looks for the feaure that is called (rpc in this case)
and assembles and outputs its (concatenated) javascript(s) for you.
So if you changed the location of where the events are located, just update
the html to call the right <gadget server root>/js/rpc.js and everything
should be fine again.

Turns out I had the wrong rpc.js which is what I suspected all along.
What I ended up doing was running the sample through the Java
server (which works fine) and I copied the code from that rpc.js
and created /gadgets/js/rpc.js then pointed sample1.html back
to that file. I'm not sure why there is a different rpc.js in /features
so maybe somebody can shed some light on that.
