Hi Abhinav,
You can pass parameters to your Orkut applications by appending
"up_" to the start of the parameter you wish to forward.
For example:
.../Application.aspx?uid=XX&appId=YY&up_user_visited_from=ZZ
Will give you a parameter named "up_user_visited_from" in your
application that you can get by calling:
var from = _args()["up_user_visited_from"];
This is also registered as a user preference value named
"user_visited_from". You can get this by calling
var prefs = new _IG_Prefs();
var from = prefs.getString("user_visited_from");
Hope this helps,
~Arne
