Re: [Google Wave APIs] Navigate in a wave by code
Pamela: Here is the thread: http://groups.google.com/group/google-wave-api/browse_thread/thread/b7c1af7defd410d4/dd749040fde0bc0d?hl=enlnk=gst I asked Ravinder for the source to that and got an overview of his approach: By following steps mentioned in my previuos reply i was able to store participant id and participant profile name only.I couldn`t get profile image.To show the profile images I had to use different workaround. Through bot I created a wave which has all the participants whose profile inforamtion was required and stored waveId in database for later use . In that wave there is a gadget which uses which retrieves profile information by using var participant = wave.getParticipantById(userId); imgUrl = participant.getThumbnailUrl(); dispName = participant.getDisplayName(); Now the whole scenario is like this 1. User creates a new wave and adds bot into the wave.(Let us name this wave as A) 2. bot checks whether waveid of wave which has all the participant whose profile information is required is present in the database.If it is not yet created it creates the wave and add all the userids as participant in it.Then it stores its id to get that wave later. (Let us name this wave as B). 3. then bot embeds a gadget in wave B (Let us call this gadget G1).In this gadget i had to show profile pictures. 4. then bot adds new gadget into wave A.(Let us call this gadget G2). Gadget G2 has html to embed wave B in it. In this way i was able to show profile information of users. In other way we can say that i used one wave which has all the participants whose profile information i needed In ALL things, strive for , Chris On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 1:53 AM, pamela (Google Employee) pamela...@gmail.com wrote: I haven't seen that injection technique, so I can't comment on its feasability.

I don't think that an iframe can manipulate that much of the outside. Alternatively, a wave could me embedded, and that might make it easier to manipulate the embedded wave. Either way, its hacky. I would recommend making sure the blip-to-be-focused is unread, as then atleast people can easily spacebar to it.
