Hi,
I believe that UserPref support is optional for OpenSocial
compatibility, which is why UserPrefs doesn't work on orkut. It will
require a bit of extra work to have your gadget work in legacy API
containers and all OpenSocial containers, but here is what you can do.
First, require the opensocial-0.7 or opensocial-0.8 feature in your
gadget (I'm fairly sure that legacy iGoogle will just ignore the
request and not return an error). Next, check whether opensocial is
defined in your JavaScript. If it is, use the app data API in
OpenSocial to store your value, or alternatively, use the id of OWNER.
If opensocial is not defined, use _IG_Prefs as you do in legacy
iGoogle.
The non-OpenSocial containers will _IG_Prefs (since this is just
iGoogle), and the OpenSocial containers will use app data.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Dan
