showing userPref for a gadget.

[Jeff Yu <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am new to the shindig, by going through all of example that provided in
3.0.0-beta4, I couldn't find an example that shows the gadget with its
UserPref. Did I miss it somewhere, or it is not included right now?

A further question to this topic, I am now trying to add the UserPref for
the gadget, do I need to make a metadata rpc call to get the UserPref info,
and then show it on the web, or does shindig offer a similar thing like the
gadget xml-to-html render, like I only need to have a url for the UserPref,
and then can get the generated corresponding html, javascript etc.

Thanks
Jeff

Thanks Jesse.

Yeah, I've looked into the Apache Rave, it used the RestOperation to call
the Metadata Request, and then generate the UserPref html. I was thinking
that if we offered something similar mechanism inside Shindig project
itself?

Thanks
Jeff

Apache Rave provides support for user prefs out of the box -- might be worth a look to see if it fits your needs.

Jeff, as far as I know it's not been implemented in the common container
yet.  I'm looking at implementing this as we have a requirement for this in
the container we are building.  I'm hoping to make in contributable back to
the community.  If anyone has built something like this hopefully they'll
come forward and save us both some time.
