Hi I gave the url as : http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com in the gadget and tried accessing the parameter showTeachers in the pyhton file as: showTeachers = str(self.request.get('up_showTeachers'))
then i set this showTeachers in the response and try to get the same in html. But i am unable to access the showTeachers parameter here. I am not getting value for it. And i also tried it by passing the parameter in the url in gadget xml file. http://test-aatetsting.appspot.com?up_showTeachers=true And followed the same procedure in the python and html as mentioned above. But its not working. Please help.

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. > > String --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
