The UI used in the sample container shipped with Shindig is only an example and is probably not what you want to use in a production application. It actually relies on iGoogle's implementation, loading an external script from gmodules.com and storing saved pref values in cookies. Because it's relying on Google's servers to generate the UI, it only works for gadgets that are publicly accessible over the internet. If you're serving it from localhost, Google won't be able to fetch and parse it. You can use the Google Gadget Editor at http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/tools.html#GGE to host your spec files on gmodules.com, which allows this to work.
Real containers should generate their own UI, and provide their own persistence mechanism. If you just need something for development, maybe consider the OSDE http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-development-environment/ On Jun 11, 9:22 am, rbaxter85 <rbaxte...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am new to developing open social gadgets and was just trying > something really simple.
