Hi, I'm looking into making my portal an Open Social container, and thus looking into Shindig to ease the work. However, I haven't been able to successfully install it in any server. I tried JBoss with no luck. Tomcat was a bit better but still I got a bunch of javascript errors.
Finally I tried following the instructions in http://www.chabotc.com/guides/shindig_install/ and using WAMP. In that case the container seems to work, for the most part: I can get the REST queries in http://incubator.apache.org/shindig/getting-started.html to work, but the sample container example throws javascript errors when first loaded (rpc errors, 'viewerFriends.list' is null or not an object, etc.) and the gadget just does not work. I tried pointing to other gadgets in the "Displaying gadget" input with no luck. Those same gadgets (like http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml<http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml>) do work when just pointing directly, for example to http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml The other http://shindig/gadgets/files/container/sampleX.html pages work partially. I get javascript errors in some gadgets. When I try to run the compliance test gadget: http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/tests/trunk/suites/0.8/compliance/reference.xmlI get Unknown Javascript errors. The I try to run the sample gadget in the Getting Started guide ( http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://shindig/gadgets/files/samplecontainer/examples/getFriendsHasApp.xml) and I get "null is null or not an object". I've been going over this for a few days with the trunk code and I just can get it to work. The opensocialdevapp ( http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://osda.appspot.com/gadget/osda-0.8.xml) does work though. I was really hoping that Shindig would help me to get something working, if not in a couple of hours at least in less time that what I have already invested; specially since I cannot get to work even a basic installation, let alone trying to integrate it into my site. It's really frustrating and it would be a real shame that all the work you have put into this project doesn't reflect into more adoption of Open Social just for lack of a good Getting started guide. Thus I really thinking/hoping I'm the one doing really stupid things, and it's not Shindig's fault, but it's hard to tell when I don't have anything to tell me that. I hope you guys can do it. Thanks for all your work, and please help! - Raziel
