Ok, it sounds like the right way to do this is with data-pipelining and
templates. I just had to create a new request handler. For example
<Require feature="opensocial-1.0"/>
<Require feature="opensocial-data"/>
<Require feature="opensocial-templates"/>
<Content type="html" view="default">
<![CDATA[
<script xmlns:os="http://ns.opensocial.org/2008/markup"; type="text/os-data">
<os:DataRequest key="institutionId" method="context.institutionId" />
</script>
<script type="text/os-template">
institutionId (javascript): <span id="content"></span><br>
institutionId (template): ${institutionId}<br>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler(function () {
institutionId =
opensocial.data.getDataContext().getDataSet("institutionId");
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = institutionId;
});
</script>
Thanks,

Thanks. It seems like Substituters worked on the entire gadget spec (replacing
any __MODULE_xxx__, __UP_xxx__, etc.). The templates stuff seems to only work
in “text/os-data” nodes and no way to plug in your own template resolver. My
desire is to have something that more closely matched the opensocial 1.0 stuff,
but using EL syntax. But then I’m going way outside the opensocial spec if I
do that.
Essentially what I’m really trying to do is provide a value that is necessary
in making future service requests. In our case it’s called a
contextInstitutionId. I initially tied this into the Person service, and the
gadget writer could call that to get the value and append it to the service
call request. But it really seems like an environment type thing. The context
of where I am running. So just looking for a way to provide this to the gadget
developer.

Hi All,
I want to make a value available to my gadget via substitution of a
regular expression. I know the old format was something like this
__MODULE_ID__. I was able to get my own value working by writing my own
Substituter and injecting it. So for example __MODULE_MY_KEY__ (I couldn’t
figure out how to get my own Type, so I first overloaded MODULE). What I
really want is the EL opensocial 2.0 way of doing it ${Module.MyKey} or
preferably my own namespace ${Context.institutionId}. It doesn’t look like
this is supported. I can get it to work with UserPrefs just fine, but that
might be all that is supported. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Doug Davies
