setTitle

[Laura Nathanson <la...@gmail.com>]

Hello there,

I'm trying to get setTitle working in my container, and having no
luck.

In container.js I've registered and defined the setTitle function to
just thow up an alert message. I'm including container.js and a
reference to my shindig's rpc.js file in the container's gadget
hosting page. But when my gadget calls gadgets.window.setTitle, no alert
pops up.

What else might I be missing? Are there some other files that my
container needs to have? Some setting in Shindig that I need to
change or some other functions I need to write?

My iframe urls do have a parent param set. I saw an old wiki article
that said: "You must make sure that gadgets.rpc.setRelayUrl is called
for every app". But, I couldn't find this method call anywhere in
Partuza, so is this still true?

(using PHP Shindig btw)

Thank you John and Chris both.
I (eventually) got setTitle working by adding references to Shindig's
util.js and gadgets.js to my containing page, and setting a "name" attribute
on the gadget iframe tag.

Calling setRelayUrl and setAuthToken seems to make no difference, nor does
changing the parentRelayUrl in container.js in Shindig. For now, I'm doing
neither. I do have the newer version of rpc.js with the crazy symbols in it,
and was using Firefox 3.5.2 and Chrome 2.0 to test in.

Laura:
Turns out with recent changes to rpc.js (if yours has symbols in it named
gadgets.rpctx.*, you've got the new one), you won't need an "actual"
rpc_relay.html file any more. Which browser are you using?

For each gadget you render in your container with IFRAME ID "<gadget-id>"
with URL "<render-url>" you'll need to do:

gadgets.rpc.setRelayUrl("<gadget-id>", "<render-url>");
gadgets.rpc.setAuthToken("<gadget-id>", null);

If you choose to add an rpc token to the gadget (via
<render-url>#rpctoken=<random-number> - this prevents gadgets from spoofing
each other's messages to/from the container as a security measure), change
the last line to:
gadgets.rpc.setAuthToken("<gadget-id>", "<random-number>");

Hey Laura,

Chances are that it can't find the rpc_relay.html file, see this bit in
shindig/config/container.js:

  "rpc" : {
    // Path to the relay file. Automatically appended to the parent
    /// parameter if it passes input validation and is not null.
    // This should never be on the same host in a production environment!
    // Only use this for TESTING!
    "parentRelayUrl" : "/gadgets/files/container/rpc_relay.html",
