Re: Setting gadget container
Posted by Raj Janorkar <ra...@gmail.com>.
Hi Ryan,
I think i have resolved this slowness issue, yes you are right i was using
config[osapi.container.ContainerConfig.RENDER_DEBUG] = true; If i make it
false then rendering is too fast.
and below is the url for javascript container.
shindig/gadgets/js/core:open-views:opensearch:container:rpc:selection:views:actions:opensocial:xmlutil.js?c=1&debug=1&container=default
*I dont understand the difference between below two i know when the first
one when it is triggered but dont know commoncontaner one.*
gadgets.rpc.register('resize_iframe', this.setHeight);
*and *
CommonContainer.rpcRegister('resize_iframe', this.setHeight);
Thank you very much
Regards,
Raj
