settitle and dynamic-height features are not working
I have latest code of Gadgets server and container also.
But in my system, settitle and dynamic-height features are not working.
What will be the problem?

Posted by Kevin Brown <et...@google.com>.
Currently we just source in ifpc_relay.html along with everything else in
the javascript/ directory. You could always use a custom build file (pom.xml)
to place this file at a different location in the resource heirarchy. I'd
suggest reading the maven documentation for details on how to achieve
something like this. Alternatively, you could just manually move the file to
wherever you want it to be within the javascript/ directory and it will work
automatically.

Arun,
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/spec.html
This links you to the page where details about how a gadget container are
discussed. Its just a language independent overview.

If you have to use an alternative prefix for the IFrames, you'll need
to update the following line in gadgets.js:
gadgets.IfrGadget.prototype.GADGET_IFRAME_PREFIX_ = 'remote_module_';

Yes, in the default configuration, dynamic-height is working.
But I've made some changes to the code as per my requirements. Please try to
identify the problem.

Arun - I was able to get the samples to work on my local box. Try following
these instructions:
1. cd <root of your svn client on your local machine>
2. svn update
3. cd java/gadgets
4. mvn jetty:run-war
5. hit the url: http://localhost:8080/gadgets/container/sample6.html
In your setup with this url:
http://tech-test.tutorialsforu.com/iGoogle/sample6.html
There must be something messed up with the locations of the ifpc components.
I can't seem to find the problem off hand but lets first make sure you can
get the default configuration going.
This sample actually works for me:
http://tech-test.tutorialsforu.com/iGoogle/sample7.html<http://tech-test.tutorialsforu.com/iGoogle/sample6.html>
The css is mangled but it does indeed change the title of the gadget window.
Let us know how those steps go for you.

Kevin,
I have modified that shindig code. Gadgets are working fine. But that
dynamic-height and settitle are not working properly. Please let me know why
I got this problem.

Re: settitle and dynamic-height features are not working
Posted by Reinoud Elhorst <cl...@claude.nl>.
To add my 2 cents:
- As my description [1] indicates, setting up the gadget server in anything
else then Java is a lot of work at the moment. You'd have to port the
entire java code to PHP, on the way solving alot of php specific
issues. I would not recommend doing it until the Java Shindig server
is "stable" (and you'll have a reference to program against).
- The container in my
description is PHP. I believe that the container and the gadget server
need not be in the same language. At Hyves we'll probably go live with
the container in PHP and Shindig in Java
- I would suggest you to read, and follow the guide. I think it'll answer
most of the questions you have.
- To allow the container and gadget server to be language-independent from
each other, I think the GadgetSigner implementation should be part of the
Shindig specification (or Shindig Best Practices; not of the OpenSocial
specification though). That would allow third parties to create
GadgetSigners in all sorts of languages, that are compatible with
(Java-)Shindig. Obviously, there is some need to share a secret, or share
the link to a public key securly, between Container and Shindig Server. I'd
like to see this specification sooner rather than later.

Kevin,
I read Reinoud's blog entry. But it was about setting up a container in

Kevin,
This is what I am doing currently...
I have all the javascript files of opensocial in a directory called
'osocial'. (only the javascript files of opensocial). And then I call them
after parsing and rendering the data. Thats what is my mindwork.
Now whats that 'feature'? I have seen the features directory in Shindig svn.
Ok Forget all this stuff we spoke about.
Is there any doc that explains the method to create a container.... (a
little specific to php)?

Kevin,
That is what I am not able to understand. My question was how to make my
site's data (like user's friends and activity) available to the gadget. And
ur answer was this.
*"What do you mean by "pass my data"? What data are you referring to? Most
data about your container should be "passed" by implementing the open social
API according to your site's needs. You can get this data either by using
interframe communication (i.e. the "ifpc" feature), or by talking to some
back end with a security token. The security token scaffolding is mostly in
place now, but you'd still have to implement the back end and pass the token
your self."*
I can sense that this is what I want. Can u explain this in simple words. I
know about ifpc (interframe procedure call). In the second option u say that
communication should be done with the backend with a security token. Can u
please explain that part in simple words? I didn't understand that. I know
this now... that a security token is issued to the gadget everytime the
gadget is rendered. Now what do I have to do to implement the communication
between my database and the opensocial gadget? I mean... my actual question
is this. Where do I tell the container or the gadget, that my backend can be
contacted like this?

back end with a security token. The security token scaffolding is mostly in
place now, but you'd still have to implement the back end and pass the token
your self.

Kevin,
how do I pass my data to the gadget? I do make data available to the gadget
when the makeRequest() is called?
I have no ideas of the methods. Can you list a few?

That's beyond the scope of what Shindig is. You'd need to implement this
yourself -- it should be pretty trivial if you use a stock UI library such
as dojo or YUI.

Not that I'm aware of -- if there were, it wouldn't make a whole lot of
sense anyway since every site is different. One site might want an
iGoogle-like dashboard view but another might have a facebook-like profile
page. There's just no way to generalize that, which is why it's beyond the
scope of this project.

The type=url gadget has to source the javascript from the containing page.
This is actually a flaw in the spec in that it doesn't indicate how gadgets
are supposed to know what the host to fetch the javascript from when
inspecting the libs parameter. Existing type=url gadgets almost exclusively
have this hard coded to www.gmodules.com, which is what the iGoogle
documentation recommended. Until the spec addresses this issue there really
isn't a safe way to support type=url gadgets using Shindig, unless you've
written the gadgets yourself and are OK with them only running on your
specific container. The parent parameter could be used for this, but that's
only viable if using a whitelist of acceptable containers.

You should probably modify your sample page to not assume localhost:8080.
Actually, I think all the samples should just refer to the relative path
since for testing a single domain is OK.
Did you just copy the html files somewhere? The examples only work with the
provided directory structure; if you modify one piece, you need to modify
the others as well.

This is up to you. Most implementations would probably prefer to do
permission checks at run time since there's no way to know what fields an
app is going to request until it is actually rendered.

That's entirely up to you; as long as it conforms to the spec you can do
whatever makes sense for your site. I'm not sure what you mean by "edit the
javascript files of opensocial". If you want to support open social you need
to provide an open social feature such as opensocial-0.6 or opensocial-0.7.
Re: settitle and dynamic-height features are not working
Posted by Akash Xavier <ak...@gmail.com>.
Kevin,
This is how I am going about creating my own php container. Not yet done.
This is just mind work. :)
I have a few doubts with this.
1.) I first use CURL to get the xml file and parse it in php. Perform
hangman variable substitutions. This is done by replacing
__UP, __MSG, __MODULE, and other placeholders with other values.
2.) Then I check what userdata the app requires... And then ask the user
whether that data can be utilized by the app. (this permission process is
done thru OAuth).
3.) Next the app is provided only with the data it requested permission for
in step 2. If it requests any other data other than common operational data
(like surface type), that is.... when it asks for userdata... only the ones
it obtained permission for will be provided.
4.) Now anyother info that the gadget asks for will be through
opensocial.makeRequest() acccording to specs and reference.
If what I assume is right and can be done, then here are my doubts...
1.) In step 2 what is the brief logic to assign permissions. Is this where a
gadgetsigner token will be generated with the permissions for the gadget to
run?
2.) In step 4, how do I pass my data to the gadget? I do I make it available
when the makeRequest() is called? Do I need to edit the javascript files of
opensocial?

I'm using _IG_AdjustIFrameHeight()
and in the case of container, I'm using gadgets.container not any special
open social container.
If I want to use opensocial container, how to use it?
Re: settitle and dynamic-height features are not working
Posted by Akash Xavier <ak...@gmail.com>.
Arun,
Are u using _IG_AdjustIFrameHeight() or opensocial.adjustIFrameHeight() ?

Dependency injection is simply the concept of 'injecting' dependencies into
a piece of code (typically achieved by using interfaces or callbacks). Try
this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_Injection

In PHP the logical thing would probably be to generate tokens by serializing
a php array with the appropriate data (viewer / owner id or other such
information) and encrypting it using one of the standard encryption
extensions (I believe the openssl extension can handle RSA, so that's
probably what you want).
Something like this:
<?php
class MySigner implements GadgetSigner {
private $crypter;
private $viewerId;
private $ownerId;
// Getters for all of these fields...
// OpenSSL class assumed to be similar to the one found in the comments on
http://us.php.net/openssl
public function __construct(OpenSSL $crypter, $viewerId, $ownerId) {
$this->crypter = $crypter;
$this->viewerId = $viewerId;
$this->ownerId = $ownerId;
}
public function createToken($gadget) {
if ($gadget instanceof Gadget) {
return new MyToken($this, $gadget->getId()->getUrl(), $viewerId,
$ownerId);
} else /* assume a string */ {
$data = unserialize($this->crypter->decrypt($gadget));
// assert that it's correct...
return new MyToken($this, $data['url'], $data['viewer'],
$data['owner']);
}
}
public function encrypt($viewerId, $ownerId, $gadgetUrl) {
return
$this->crypter->encrypt(serialize(array('viewer'=>$viewerId,'owner'=>$ownerId,'url'=>$gadgetUrl)));
}
}
class MyToken implements GadgetToken {
private MySigner $signer;
private $gadgetUrl;
private $viewerId;
private $ownerId;
public function __construct(MySigner $signer, $gadgetUrl, $viewerId,
$ownerId) {
$this->signer = $signer;
$this->gadget = $gadget;
}
public function toSerialForm() {
return $this->signer->encrypt($this->gadgetUrl, $this->viewerId,
$this->ownerId);
}
}

Kevin,
Can u explain what is a dependency injection and how its used in shindig
(with respect to php... I saw that php too has dome DI conatiners...) ?
And also how to implement a gadgetSigner in php? (just tell the basic logic
on how this is done....)

We'll need more details than this. Have you tried starting the server and
going to http://localhost:8080/gadgets/container/sample7.html (or
sample6.html for dynamic-height) ?
What version of the server are you using? (Java or PHP)
Which "container" are you trying to use? Did you implement your own? Are you
referring to one of the demos?
