[opensocial] Re: Hosting an Activity feed
Marco, You don't need to do anything to direct the event to a particular environment; the event always goes to the local environment. Thus, a gadget installed on Hi5 will post to the Hi5 activity feed, and a gadget installed on Orkut will post to the Orkut activity feed.

E.g. sent the event to Hi5 or to MySpace? Or do hosting environement receive the events indirectly from Google and google dispatches these events to the various hosting environments?

[opensocial] Re: Security Problems
Standard disclaimer, IANAG (I Am Not A Googler): As I understand it, user preferences are an iGoogleism, and, generally speaking, will not be supported in most OpenSocial containers. I've heard reports that they work in Orkut, but, unless we here otherwise from the powers that be, you shouldn't depend on them. Of course, at the moment, data storage support in most containers is pretty, well, uh, FAIL. Plaxo *MAY* have a working data storage implementation, but it would be great if someone could verify this.

This is a handy thing as you can give a URL out that passes something to the iframe like `up_show=overview` or `up_show=detailup_item=12` However, it must be noted that anything specified like this will OVERRIDE the real user preferences. I can't see any exploit that this will allow, but do not blindly trust anything at all until there is some way of getting the information signed Cheers!

Hi,
I am trying to make a gadget with url contenttype [http://
code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/fundamentals.html#URL], and let me
just say the following snippet is less than helpful, when I am trying
to convert it to python.
?php
// Parse gadget URL and emit script src=.../script statements
into the HTML output.
// The script src=.../script statements will load the
libraries passed in via the URL.
$libraries = split(,, $_GET[libs]);
foreach ($libraries as $script) {
if (preg_match('@^[a-z0-9/[EMAIL PROTECTED]', $script)
!preg_match('@([.][.])|([.]/)|(//)@', $script)) {
print script src='http://www.google.com/ig/f/$script'/
script;
}
}
?
I am getting 404 for http://www.google.com/ig/f/c/opensocial-0.5/
orkut,
when I blindly substitute $script to URL without passing them through
the regular expressions [which works for other urls].
I tried adding script type=text/javascript src=http://r5oub4bm-
a.gmodules.com/46/o/0.5/opensocial.js/script
12 script type=text/javascript src=http://r5oub4bm-a.gmodules.com/
46/o/orkutcontainer1.js/script to my app, that I discovered when
seeing some other apps that are working, but its not working either,
in this case the json request goes back to my server, and gets 404ed.

[opensocial] Re: OK, javascript, I get it. But can I use server-side?
Actually, that's incorrect. The _IG_Fetch* methods, which are part of the core Google Gadgets api can be used to access remote sites, including your own. See: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/ reference.html#Core for details. (Dan) On Nov 2, 2007, at 8:17 PM, junkpop wrote: To access server-side stuff, we'll have to use our own forms and AJAX.

[opensocial] Re: Inconsistencies in obtaining and saving opensocial id's.
Keep in mind that most (all?) JavaScript implementations out there will choke if you try to store or manipulate 64-bit integers (signed or unsigned), so for all JS code, you should treat ids as strings. Of course, since ids are pretty much opaque values, this doesn't really cause any problems; for example, it would never be meaningful to add two user ids. (Dan) On Nov 8, 2007, at 12:10 PM, fernando padilla wrote: I haven't been paying attention, but I haven't heard something definitive about the id space. Anyhow. the Negative numbers might have something to do with unsigned long != two's complement signed long. So a 64bit id can be represented as an unsigned long (all positive numbers), or a two's complement signed long ( half of the bit space is negative ). I did bump into this earlier because they were giving out unsigned long ids, which java doesn't support, so we had to manually convert that unsigned long into a signed long.. hence we dealt with negative numbers.. :) On Nov 6, 2007 9:43 AM, Suhail Doshi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sure I get an id like this: -751714324471179 On Nov 6, 10:20 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, do you have any examples? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups OpenSocial Developers group.

[opensocial] Re: Why is there no type=url in Orkut and when will it be supported?
IANAG (I am not a Googler) but, as I understand it, whether or not url type gadgets will be supported in OpenSocial is still to be determined. (Dan) On Nov 10, 2007, at 4:22 AM, siegi wrote: Hi, I have seen that there is an article in the issue list concerning this type. However from my developer perspective I would prefer this type for any bigger or more complex application and for turning an existing application into a gadget (as Google depicts this in the Gadgets documentation) - So why isn't this type the #1 implementation for Orkut Gadgets? Any developer could build a workaround and encapsulate the content and behavior into a dynamically generated Javascript and encapsulate the logic within the generated Javascript. But why should this be necessary? Any thoughts welcome. Btw. does anybody know when this type will be supported on Orkut or any other opensocial implementation, may be Hi5 is quicker in getting it included?
