Kevin, That is what I am not able to understand. My question was how to make my site's data (like user's friends and activity) available to the gadget. And ur answer was this.
*"What do you mean by "pass my data"? What data are you referring to? Most data about your container should be "passed" by implementing the open social API according to your site's needs. You can get this data either by using interframe communication (i.e. the "ifpc" feature), or by talking to some back end with a security token. The security token scaffolding is mostly in place now, but you'd still have to implement the back end and pass the token your self."* I can sense that this is what I want. Can u explain this in simple words. I know about ifpc (interframe procedure call). In the second option u say that communication should be done with the backend with a security token. Can u please explain that part in simple words? I didn't understand that. I know this now... that a security token is issued to the gadget everytime the gadget is rendered. Now what do I have to do to implement the communication between my database and the opensocial gadget? I mean... my actual question is this. Where do I tell the container or the gadget, that my backend can be contacted like this?
