Hi, There's a proposed addition to the API that adds a new call:
urlTo(mode,params)
Here's the hack code we have in hi5container.js:
opensocial.Hi5Container.prototype.urlTo = function(mode, params) {
var url;
switch(mode) {
case opensocial.Hi5Container.Mode.CANVAS :
// TODO hack, fix for general case
url = "/friend/displayAppCanvas.do?appName=Songs+iLike";
alert(params);
alert(params.length);
break;
case opensocial.Hi5Container.Mode.PROFILE :
break;
case opensocial.Hi5Container.Mode.PREVIEW :
break;
};
return url;
};
Obviously this needs to be scoped out so that params get passed as
well as the installed Application ID. This will allow you to get from
the profile page to a canvas page, and maybe even popups...
