php server
Hi,
I would like to support OpenSocial on my site, so I downloaded Shindig. My
site is mostly in PHP so I went to the readme file titled "Installing and
Running The PHP Shindig Gadget Server" (
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/php/README). It says
"Copy the files to your web root" - what files exactly should I copy? I
tried copying the entire directory tree under "php" but it didn't work - it
does not contain a file named "ifr".
Another question: Is it possible to use only the Javascript files that are
bundled with Shindig, without building Shindig?

Yes, for the most part each component can be used indepdently of the others.
Each piece is designed to comply with the relevant specs whenever they
exist, so you could easily use the java gadget renderer, php social data,
and half of the javascript while providing your own implementation for the
other half.

ps that's correct, it depends on mod_rewrite being enabled. the php
directory includes a .htaccess file that rewrite's the urls to
index.php, so make sure .htaccess file and mod_rewrite support is
enabled, and you should be fine

Thanks a lot, now the gadget works!
P.S. The config.php file contains the following comment (lines 31-32): "don't
forget to update your .htaccess to reflect this, as well as your container
javascript like: gadget.setServerBase('/someBaseUrl/')"; I didn't change my
.htaccess file, and didn't understand what javascript file to change so I
didn't change this either, and it still works. How can this be?

I also noted a similar sentence in the README file:
"If you change the web_prefix also update the container/container.js file
too point to the correct locations"
I didn't find this file; the closest match was config/container.js, and the
closest setting is "opensocial-0.8" > "path". Is this the setting that
should be changed?

Re: php server
Posted by Chris Chabot <ch...@xs4all.nl>.
Check the config.php file and the 'web_prefix' key in it, i think if
you set that to '/shindig/php' it should work.
Right now you get an error because it tries to map the URL (/shindig/
php/gadgets/ifr) against it's url <> servlet mapping, which assumes "/
gadgets/ifr" for the gadget renderer event. Configuring the prefix to
"/shindig/php" makes the mapping march the url :)

Thanks, this helped a lot. I use a WAMP server so I didn't create a virtual
server, I just used the full path:
http://localhost/shindig/php/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
It seems that Apache found the index.php (I put "abc" on top of it to make
sure), but the component was not rendered - I got the following HTML:
abc
<html><body><h1>404 Not Found</h1></body></html>
I don't know what exacly was not found? (I did a full checkout).

This is correct, though unfortunately there's no automated test mechanism
for the JS code other than Maven. Dave Smith is working on a solution that
doesn't require it.

Hmm i guess a mention of the required platform (php, extentions) plus

Re: php server

I noticed that there's nothing on the website about doing php development.
Could you add this? Perhaps we could just modify the "building shindig" page
(for lack of a better place) and have separate sections for java and php.
The only things that probably need to be put there are prerequisites
(version + extensions) and configuration.

That is correct.
The PHP server and the Java server are two versions of the -same-
thing, depending on your own environment and preferences you can pick
the one that suits you the best.

P.S Just to make sure I understand: If I use the PHP server, I don't need to
build the Java server, so I don't even need to install Maven. Is this true?

Hi Erel,
The easiest way to get up and running (the README is slightly out of
data / missing details, should update it):
(assuming /var/www/html is where your document root's live)
# cd /var/www/html
# mkdir shindig
# cd shindig
# svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/ .
Point your apache to the php dir with a virtual host like:
<VirtualHost your_ip:your_port>
ServerName your_host
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shindig/php
... other normal settings in vhosts...
</VirtualHost>
Restart apache, and point your browser to http://<yourhost>/gadgets/
ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
If you have all the requirements (php 5.2.x with the json, mcrypt and
curl extentions enabled) you should see something like:
http://shindig.chabotc.com/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
Note: shindig php requires the <trunk>/javascript ,/config and /
features directories.. thats why you need a full checkout of shindig.
If you want to put those somewhere else on your server, edit
config.php to reflect their new locations.
Hope it helps!
