How shindig detects support fields for SNS

Thank you Chris for previous reply, it helped lot.

How Shindig came to know that any field is supported by SNS.
As I know opensocial uses this for getting supported field - opensocial.getEnvironment().supportsField(opensocial.Environment.PERSON, opensocial.Person.Field.GENDER);
(If I am wrong please correct me. because it always return false for partuja code)

But How will shindig know this information OR we have to write this code in SNS.

Thanks
Ajay

perhaps because your enum references are wrong? you need

opensocial.getEnvironment().supportsField(opensocial.Environment.ObjectType.PERSON,
opensocial.Person.Field.NAME <http://opensocial.person.field.name/>);

or you can just try
opensocial.getEnvironment().supportsField('person',
'name'<http://opensocial.person.field.name/>
);

Thanks Chris,
But these lines always reutrn false

opensocial.getEnvironment().supportsField(opensocial.Environment.person, opensocial.Person.Field.name);

what is wrong here?

Specifically the part that reads:

     "supportedFields" : {
        "person" : ["id", "name", "thumbnailUrl", "profileUrl"],
        "activity" : ["id", "title"]
     },

Just add the fields you want to support through the open social api  
calls to the person list (make sure you get the naming right though:P)

check out shindig/config/container.js

Specifically the part that reads:

     "supportedFields" : {
        "person" : ["id", "name", "thumbnailUrl", "profileUrl"],
        "activity" : ["id", "title"]
     },

Just add the fields you want to support through the open social api  
calls to the person list (make sure you get the naming right though:P)
