ISSUE-20 (Content multi-view): Current <content> model does not
allow multiple views [Widgets]
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/
Raised by: Marcos Caceres
On product: Widgets
The problem with the way that <content> is currently specified is
that it does not allow for multiple "views" of content. For
example, say I want to display a floating widget and a different
view of that widget in a dock.
Google gadgets currently solves this problem by allowing multiple
content elements and making use of a "view" attribute:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Hello World!">
<Require feature="opensocial-0.7" />
</ModulePrefs>
<Content type="html" view="home">
<![CDATA[
Hello, small world!
]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas">
<![CDATA[
Hello, big world!
]]>
</Content>
</Module>
It might be useful to add something similar to widgets 1.0.
