[OpenSocial] Re: Problem while building ast application

[Chris Chabot]

Assuming you went ahead and created a gadget xml file like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
  <ModulePrefs title="Hello World!">
    <Require feature="opensocial-0.8" />
  </ModulePrefs>
  <Content type="html">
    <![CDATA[
      Hello, world!
    ]]>
  </Content>
</Module>

I'm not sure if you're trying to build a 0.9 gadget (where doing a <Content
type="html" href="foo.com/bar.html"> is valid ie 'proxied content'), in
which case you're getting this error because 0.9 isn't fully supported on
iGoogle yet. If you're not trying to build a 0.9 gadget, this isn't a valid
construct

You should add those attributes to the moduleprefs node, which are used by
iGoogle to display information about your gadget, ie:

<ModulePrefs title="Hello World!" author="Me" author_email="m...@host.com"
description="This is a Hello World gadget" screenshot="
http://foo.com/screenshot.jpg"; thumbnail="http://foo.com/thumbnail.jpg";>

iGoogle has a lot of users in a lot of countries, so it's useful to keep
internationalization / supporting multiple languages in mind right from the
beginning,

how to do this.

Goodluck!
