So in your example, you should be using gadget XML like this: <UserPref name="showTeachers" display_name="Show Teacher" required="true" datatype="bool"/> <Content type="url" href="http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com";> and getting a remote URL (at the server end) like: http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com?up_showTeachers=true I don't know Python, but guessing at its syntax, I'd think you'd want something like: showTeachers = str(self.request.get('up_showTeachers')) > Another thing I read is urlparam attribute to be used for content type > url > > http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/reference.html#Userpr... > > urlparam = Optional string to pass as the parameter name for content > type="url". > > Is this to be used? if so then how? I've not used urlparam myself, but I think it's optional. If you do use it, the API will pass that as the url parameter name instead of up_<name>. So for instance, if you defined your gadget XML like this:# <UserPref name="showTeachers" display_name="Show Teacher" required="true" datatype="bool" urlparam="show_teachers"/> <Content type="url" href="http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com";> your remote URL would then look like: http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com?show_teachers=true But again, that's just how it looks to me reading the docs, I haven't used url parameters like this.
