Harm,
The URL parsing technique still works (for now). Just make sure
to require the "setprefs" library. I've had success with "setprefs"
and "dynamic-height" libraries and the legacy API calls
[_IG_Prefs()].
I simply parse the "libs" query parameter in the URL, split them
at the comma and inject each library into the DOM. Then I use the
legacy calls for the preferences (for some reason the gadgets.*
namespace is not available). This is how I have it set up
var prefs;
try{
prefs=new _IG_Prefs();
}catch(e){
// Create dummy functions to mimic the original prefs object,
// and complete gracefully. You could also add getInt, getArray,
etc.
prefs={getString:function(s){return null},set:function(n,v){}};
};
I use mootools as my framework for most of the code in the page
so it can function independently of the gadget functionality,
but I can still save settings when placed in iGoogle or
another gadget container.
Hope this helps,
Justin
