Re: Replacement for iGoogle gadgetsettings

[Ryan Baxter <rb...@gmail.com>]

Maybe I am wrong here, but this pattern is very common in different
Shindig features.

  function init(config) {

    features = config['core.util'] || {};

  }


  if (gadgets.config) {

    gadgets.config.register('core.util', null, init);

  }

Basically you register a config listener so that when the container
config (container.js) is ready your listener will be called and the
parameter passed to your listener is the container config.  You should
then be able to pull out various parameters from the config.
