Been debugging some popular gadgets yesterday and today to make them
work with php shindig / partuza.chabotc.com to demo them at the
upcoming Google IO event.
iLike is already working (big thanks to Nat @ iLike for his time and
effort on that!), however with the guys from rockyou.com we ran into a
snag...
The snag being that the prototype.js they included caused this error
message (before any code was even executed):
"Event.Methods[name].methodize is not a function"
After some head scratching and random guesses, it turned out that it
was the inclusion of caja.js that broke it ..
Now i don't have server sided cajoling in php shindig, i had
enableCaja : false in container.js, but the shear fact of including
caja.js broke it.
The work-around to get to a working demo platform was to edit
opensocial-0.7/features.xml and remove the caja feature dependency.
So .. it seems that having the caja dependency in the opensocial
feature.xml breaks apps .. is this something the live containers
(orkut, hi5) had to work around too, or is caja.js being included
there too? And if so, do gadgets that include prototype.js work there?
I could easily make a work around in php shindig that i blacklist the
caja feature from loading, and thus 'fixing' this situation, but I'm
curious if it's a php shindig only problem or happened with other
deployments too.
