The problem with the labpixies gadget is in this translation bundle: http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/i19_shared/all_all_igoogle.xml Labpixies is returning a content-type for this file, but not a charset, making Shindig default to UTF-8. However, that file looks like it's encoded in latin-1 (probably a copy and paste job from MS Word since the error appears to be with an apostrophe) making Shindig blow up when it can't parse the file correctly.
The solution would be for labpixies to serve a content-type, or encode their files in valid utf-8. Or you could just try with a different test gadget - here's one I just wrote: http://<path to your shindig>/gadgets/ifr?url= http://gadgeteditor.appspot.com/spec/16002/hello-world.xml Cheers, ~Arne On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:36 AM, Rodrigo Moraes <[email protected]>wrote: > On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 4:01 AM, Yonas wrote: > > I'm new to shindig, and I'm trying to install 0.8.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty. > > > > This directory doesn't exist: > > > > /gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml > > > > there's a /test/gadgets/, but no /test/gadgets/ifr. > > > > Is the documentation out of date? > > > > Cheers, > > Yonas > > That directory doesn't exist indeed.
