Hi all,

In the process of trying to make Hyves an OpenSocial container, I tried my
hand tonight at making the Hello World OpenSocial Gadget example work in our
site, through Shindig. I ran into some small issues, which I rather "hacked"
my way around. Now I understand that Shindig is work in progress, and don't
blame anyone for this not being s finished product. Au contraire, I was
pleasantly surprised by how far I've come in just one night: thumbs up for
the readability and documentation of most of the code, and obviously the
lavish explanations I've been able to enjoy on this list!

I hope someone can give some feedback on the following issues:
 - I included the js and css files from the /javascript/container directory
into the parent page. When copying the code from the sample files, there are
some options I'm missing in the gadgets.js file. It seems to me that the
result of gadgets.container.createGadget, should have methods to set the
"nocache=1" and the security token (or just generally, everything behind the
#). Am I thinking in the right direction here, or is this being handled in
some other way?

- The opensocial part consists of a lot of general javascript, and some
container-specific javascript. How does shindig know where to get this
container specific javascript? Would this done in a call to the result of
gadgets.container.createGadget as well?

- For the ifpc to work correctly, the ifpc_relay.html file has to be present
on the same domain as the parent page is on (so, basically, your SNS
domain). Is there any documentation yet on what the security implications of
this are?



Presently, I'm at the point where pretty much everything works except for
the API calls back to the site; I wanted to make sure I was going in the
right direction with regard to the exchange of the security token.

Thanks,
