Hey Guys, As you've already found, the compiance test suite is a great place to start to make sure that everything is functioning correctly, which should be step one before you can run any other apps :)
Other apps that are nice for simple tests for your settings UI etc are the less social / iGoogle ones like: http://www.google.com/ig/modules/horoscope.xml http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml Next to that to get 'real' social apps, as you've found out, there's no good solution for this yet, there's a couple of factors involved like that apps work better on a platform when their look and feel is more integrated (leading to versions for each specific platform), plus there's no central repository yet (this is something I hope we will see in the future). So for now what works 'best' is that you look at the gadget xml file of the gadget you would like to have on your platform, look at the author_email tag in it ... and email the gadget dev asking him very kindly if he wants to make his gadget available on your site :) Make sure to have your container name (the &synd=<foo> or &container=<foo>) ready (and make sure this isn't 'default'), and that your public certificate accessible btw. Hope that's at least some help! -- Chris On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 11:42 AM, Jerome G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > as I said here > http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-container/browse_thread/thread/7a6d440c98d73058/b0962535f1db8266 > > > I'm looking for some opensocial application to show a real demo of our > > container working > > BUT I cant found any application using social aspect which is not > > container specific :'( > > > > Ok we pass lot of tests in the compliance gadget but it's not eye > > candy at all :D > > Ok I got some basic gadgets working like Todo list and stuff but it's > > not social... > > And yes there are lots of social applications but only running in a > > specific container such as myspace, orkut or hi5 > > > > Anyone has a good demo? > > > > Thanks a lot > > > > Jerome > > So I agree with you and I can't found any good app either > > On Dec 9, 8:38 am, Randgalt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've been implementing an OpenSocial container and am getting very > > frustrated about the compatibility of apps that advertise as > > "OpenSocial" apps.
