[opensocial] Orkut error message
Hi, I'm trying to develop/test an application for Orkut. I tried adding it to my profile, and now all I get is an error message that says: Bad, bad server. No donut for you. Unfortunately, the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way. Hopefully, it will return to its helpful self if you try again in a few minutes. I have no idea what to do with this. Is there any way to get a debugging message of some type that might tell me what is going wrong? Basically I am completely stuck right now. Has anybody else seen this, and worked past it?

[opensocial] Why is there no type=url in Orkut and when will it be supported?
Hi, I have seen that there is an article in the issue list concerning this type. However from my developer perspective I would prefer this type for any bigger or more complex application and for turning an existing application into a gadget (as Google depicts this in the Gadgets documentation) - So why isn't this type the #1 implementation for Orkut Gadgets? Any developer could build a workaround and encapsulate the content and behavior into a dynamically generated Javascript and encapsulate the logic within the generated Javascript. But why should this be necessary? Any thoughts welcome. Btw. does anybody know when this type will be supported on Orkut or any other opensocial implementation, may be Hi5 is quicker in getting it included?

[opensocial] Application with registered users - How to integrate into OpenSocial?
Hi, I would like to discuss how to integrate a site with content and registered users into a social gadget. What to do with content generated from registered users that are not part of the social network where the application is integrated - like Orkut? Should the application only show content of users from the social network or would it be better to integrate the whole content, which would show more relevant information? This question drives my memory, while I am trying to build a social gadget from an existing site. So if you are working on similar problems, please let me know your thoughts.

[opensocial] Re: Hosting an Activity feed
Marco, You don't need to do anything to direct the event to a particular environment; the event always goes to the local environment. Thus, a gadget installed on Hi5 will post to the Hi5 activity feed, and a gadget installed on Orkut will post to the Orkut activity feed.

[opensocial] Re: Security Problems
Standard disclaimer, IANAG (I Am Not A Googler): As I understand it, user preferences are an iGoogleism, and, generally speaking, will not be supported in most OpenSocial containers. I've heard reports that they work in Orkut, but, unless we here otherwise from the powers that be, you shouldn't depend on them. Of course, at the moment, data storage support in most containers is pretty, well, uh, FAIL. Plaxo *MAY* have a working data storage implementation, but it would be great if someone could verify this.

This is a handy thing as you can give a URL out that passes something to the iframe like `up_show=overview` or `up_show=detailup_item=12` However, it must be noted that anything specified like this will OVERRIDE the real user preferences. I can't see any exploit that this will allow, but do not blindly trust anything at all until there is some way of getting the information signed Cheers!

Actually, that's incorrect. The _IG_Fetch* methods, which are part of the core Google Gadgets api can be used to access remote sites, including your own.

[opensocial] Re: Inconsistencies in obtaining and saving opensocial id's.
Keep in mind that most (all?) JavaScript implementations out there will choke if you try to store or manipulate 64-bit integers (signed or unsigned), so for all JS code, you should treat ids as strings. Of course, since ids are pretty much opaque values, this doesn't really cause any problems; for example, it would never be meaningful to add two user ids. (Dan) On Nov 8, 2007, at 12:10 PM, fernando padilla wrote: I haven't been paying attention, but I haven't heard something definitive about the id space. Anyhow. the Negative numbers might have something to do with unsigned long != two's complement signed long. So a 64bit id can be represented as an unsigned long (all positive numbers), or a two's complement signed long ( half of the bit space is negative ). I did bump into this earlier because they were giving out unsigned long ids, which java doesn't support, so we had to manually convert that unsigned long into a signed long.. hence we dealt with negative numbers.. :) On Nov 6, 2007 9:43 AM, Suhail Doshi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sure I get an id like this: -751714324471179 On Nov 6, 10:20 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, do you have any examples? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups OpenSocial Developers group.
