Your right, the documentation is a bit thin and scattered.
Right now there are 2 ways in which shindig can deliver data to the
gadgets, the 'old style' (custom json wire format), and the 'new
style', which is the new RESTful API that's part of the 0.8
specification. Unfortunately they both have slightly different data
adapters (though the difference isn't that big)
If your starting integration now, i would suggest using the new
RESTful format, you will need it for 0.8 anyway.
So what you do to use that and integrate it with your data back-end is:
1) Edit shindig/config/container.js, set "useRestful" : true
2) Create a php/config/local.php class and put something in like:
'people_service' => 'MyPeopleService',
'activity_service' => 'MyActivitiesService',
'app_data_service' => 'MyAppDataService',
'extension_class_paths' => '/path/on/disk/to/those/classes/'
3) Create MyPeopleService.php, MyActivitiesService.php,
MyAppDataService.php in the /path/on/disk/to/those/classes/ folder
(replace with a more sane location ofc:P)
4) Take a look at shindig/php/src/socialrest/samplecontainer/
Basic{People,Activities,AppData}Server.php as an example of how these
work. Those are basic XML file based examples, they miss a bit of the
functionality you would want to have (like being able to filter on
stuff like hasApp or topFriends, sorting, etc) and are really purely
example files. However they show the API and what to return to shindig
quite well.
5) Optionally you can also take a look at http://code.google.com/p/partuza/
, an example social network site that uses shindig. It also implements
those 3 service providers (see partuza/Shindig/
Partuza{People,Activities,AppData}Service.php, and
PartuzaDbFetcher.php for the db code behind it) but uses a 'real'
database instead of an xml file. (ignore the PartuzaHandler.php file,
thats for the 'old wire format' and won't be used for very long anymore)
6) Partuza also has a nice example of howto create the required
container javascript for the basic {setTitle,resize,etc} services in
html/js/container.js and how to create gadget iframe's with encrypted
tokens in partuza/Application/Views/gadget/gadget.php
Hope that will get you started!
