Thank you so much Ryan for providing details.
It is 1:23 midnight in Australia i was still playing with my first
container code
*Finally i created my first container it works perfectly fine.*
Below is the code
var config = config || {};
config[osapi.container.ContainerConfig.RENDER_DEBUG] = '1';
//config[osapi.container.ServiceConfig.API_HOST] =
window.location.origin;
//config[osapi.container.ServiceConfig.API_PATH] = '/shindig/rpc';
var CommonContainer = new osapi.container.Container(config);
CommonContainer.EnablePreferences = true;
*function below which build container*
buildGadget: function(result, gadgetURL, gadgetID) {
var result = result || {};
var el = $('#' + gadgetID).get(0);
var moduleID = gadgetID.split("-");
var params = {};
var gadgetSite = CommonContainer.newGadgetSite(el);
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.WIDTH] = '100%';
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.HEIGHT] = '100%';
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.SCROLL] = false;
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.USER_PREFS] = false;
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.VIEW] = 'home';
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.NO_CACHE] = '0';
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.TEST_MODE] = '0';
params[osapi.container.RenderParam.MODULE_ID] = moduleID[2] +
moduleID[3];
var viewParams = undefined;
CommonContainer.navigateGadget(gadgetSite, gadgetURL, viewParams,
params);
return gadgetSite;
}
*Just few doubt i have and i could not able to find answers*
- just wondering why rendering is so slow - it take lot of time to render
the gadgets i tried few gadgets also tried labpixis to do gadget.
i use macbook pro, with latest OS, i5 process, apache PHP and apache
Tomcat
- when i am setting NO_CACHE to '0' in firfox debug i can see it is
passing nocache=1 to gadget/ifr, why my shindig is not considering this
param.
am i missing anything here.
thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Raj
