Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, i'm not sure if the
question is the same, but it sounds somewhat similar to my problem.
What i want to do is have clickable links on my gadget view page,
which link to the canvas view page, with the page for the selected
element shown.
To accomplish this i've first retrieved the appId (thru some silly
hacks, more on this later), and then i retrieved the UID for the link
(more silly hacks, more on this later too). With it i have now
constructed a valid /Application.aspx?appid=abc&uid=def link, set
target to _top ... and presto, a link to the canvas page.
However the trouble i already ran into before, is that if i do a :
console.log(window.parent.location);
everything is peachy ... however a:
console.log(window.parent.location.search);
makes firefox stop @ that code ... presumably this is the cross domain
security, since the iframe of the gadget is on a different domain then
orkut.com, so access might be restricted right?
I've worked around this problem of getting the UID from the
parent.location by abusing the owner's profile URL and doing
a .replace('Profile','Application') on it, to hack a valid URL
together ... this of course isnt really a viable long term solution
but a bad hack.
Now i'm running into the same problem again, since i want to add a
"&selected=ghij" to the URL, and in my open social application, use
this value to know what i should be showing ... but i can't access it
properly without firefox interrupting the javascript execution due to
the cross domain issues..
So my question comes down to:
How to make a link to:
/Application.aspx?uid=ABC&appid=def&selected&ghi
and how to access the selected get param? or is this simply not
possible at the moment?
It's kind of important for the design of the application flow choices
for me :-)
oh and about the silly hack for the appid ... i should be able to do
something like:
var stream = response.get('activities');
var appId = stream.getField(opensocial.Stream.Field.APP_ID);
this fails because .getField() isnt a function on this object so i
looked @ the stream object and hacked around it by using:
var stream = response.get('activities');
var appId = stream.getData().requestedStream.params.appId;
dirty as can be, and very much not intended i think, however it works
for now until there's new docs on what to do, or the original example
works :-) If anyone has a cleaner solution i'd be much obliged.
