You get the consumer secret by completing the verification process described at http://code.google.com/p/igoogle-developers/wiki/GadgetRegistration(linked to on the alias request form). Basically you give your gadget url to the verification page, it gives you back a token to put inside the Content tag. You update the gadget source with this token & go to the next step which gives you the secret details you need for the alias form (they're also the details for doing OAuth, we reused them for aliases because it confirms the requester controls the gadget spec).
If there's a problem with all of this, not being able to modify the source or something like that, then I can manually confirm that you control the email address specified as the author in the gadget. In this case, fill in the alias request form and wait for a failure notification at that address. Reply to the failure notification and we go from there. hth, Rob Russell Google Developer Relations On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 4:21 PM, GeekBrit <[email protected]> wrote: > That's a problem - I wrote the original gadget about 4 years ago, I > haven't a clue what the 'consumer secret' is.
