[SOLVED] RE: Passing params to a view

[Jason Eggers <Ja...@infinitecampus.com>]

Got it. I missed something obvious and didn't pass the view-params in the dashboard setup to the gadgets.

  var urlParams = gadgets.util.getUrlParameters()
  gadgetList[g].viewParams = urlParams['view-params'];

Thanks for everyone's help!
Jason

It looks like the server isn't adding the view-params to the url. When I output document.location.href I get:
http://localhost:8000/gadgets/ifr?container=default&mid=9&nocache=1&country=ALL&lang=ALL&view=canvas&parent=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000&st=john.doe:john.doe:appid:cont:url:0:default&url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000%2Fgadgets%2Fcases.xml#rpctoken=1091508789

Any ideas on how to configure the server to include the view-params?

John,

This is the url: http://localhost:8000/dashboard?view=canvas&gadget=9&view-params={%22id%22%3A%221234%22}

>From looking at views.js in the past I've tried the following to pull the id as well:
  var p = gadgets.views.params;
 var i = 0;
 for (var i in p)
 {
  alert('p[\''+i+'\'] is ' + p[i])
 }
alert('id: '+p['id']);
alert('id: '+p.id);

Thanks,
Jason

Do you have a representative URL?

Your value should be a serialized JSON blob:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shindig/trunk/features/src/main/javascript/features/views/views.js

    var urlParams = gadgets.util.getUrlParameters();
    // View parameters are passed as a single parameter.
    if (urlParams["view-params"]) {
      params = gadgets.json.parse(urlParams["view-params"]) || params;
    }
