Excellent question. I am facing just the same problem: as I see, the OWNER would customize my app (that is, save options to *his* PersonAppData) and whomever sees the gadget on the OWNER's profile should see it as configured by the OWNER.
But the lack of the ability of passing OWNER to newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest simply makes that impossible. I also tried to "cheat" (getting the OWNER's ID and passing), and even tried to improvise with "instance" appdata - of which I am not entirely sure of the precise scope, maybe I missed something on the docs. And what puzzles me more is the dubious language in http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/javascript/reference/opensocial.DataRequest.html#newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest : "String id - The ID of the person to update; only the special VIEWER ID is currently allowed." What does "currently" mean? That the final version will have other possibilities? Is it an OpenSocial limitation, or just of Orkut's implementation? :-( On 7 nov, 12:59, Clayton Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I get failure when persisting data with "OWNER" which is documented in > the open social documentation for it. > Since you can't store AppData asOWNERyou will never be able to > retrieve as anOWNER > > How am I supposed to persist my per use configuration?
