In pref.js shindig was setting the Prefs moduleId to the "mid" parameter. Perhaps something is different here now. So for whatever reason that use to return me whatever I had as my siteId and now it doesn't.
At any rate, this is a TEST gadget that is probably trying to access something it shouldn't. When the userprefs are stored they are stored using the siteId granted by our container implementation (the container registers SET_PREFERENCES and GET_PREFERENCES handlers). I think I opened up this ticket because of that. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1557 It would really be nice if the rpc requests used the gadget security token (that would hopefully have the moduleId set now that you've implemented that). So in my test gadget I don't know what the siteId is. For some reason I was calling Prefs().getModuleId (I think this thread suggests that). http://shindig-dev.markmail.org/thread/zyi2zvpn7akhrbi3 Is there another way for a gadget to know this? I realize implementing moduleId would probably give me this (although a gadget doesn't really know what's in it's security token, but it can certainly pass it along to api calls). Sorry if I'm muddying the waters. I should have been more active in your moduleId discussion. doug On 1/23/12 12:57 PM, "Dan Dumont" <ddum...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > Hrmm...
