Yes, all type="url" gadgets are returning 404 errors in the Orkut sandbox at the moment. The good news is that is a known issue that should be resolved shortly.
Type="url" applications are limited in that you can't make use of the existing OpenSocial JavaScript API, which severely limits your application's social reach. You do have a few additional options, however. For example, you can set up your PHP script to access your MySQL database and return record information in an XML- or JSON-based response. Then, in a type="html" app, you can use the gadgets.io.makeRequest() method to fetch this response from your server and display it. The beauty of this approach is that it's flexible and affords you the ability to use the opensocial API to its fullest. Please let me know if you have any more questions. - Jason On Feb 15, 1:44 am, come2know <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Mike! > > I removed all code of database.php and echo "MYSQL connected". > I am getting the same , NOT FOUND error 404 . > > I think content type url method is not working properly. > > do reply.. > > Thanks, > > On Feb 15, 2:25 pm, Mike Digital Egg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > The contents of database.php will appear in the gadget when you are > > using the content type url method. > > > So just query the database and print out results within database.php. > > > Hope this helps > > > Mikewww.learnitlists.com > > > On Feb 15, 10:08 am, come2know <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi all! > > > > I want to connect my gadget with MYSQL database using PHP, both are > > > on the same server. > > > I write database.php file having my server and database details. > > > and used it as follows: > > > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > > > <Module> > > > <ModulePrefs title="connect to database" /> > > > <Content type="url" href="http://XYZ/database.php"/> > > > </Module> > > > > How can I access my database in gadget? > > > > do reply... > > > > Thanks, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orkut Developer Forum" group.
