Re: Need Gadget + Author Pages Deleted and returning 404

rickmeist...@googlemail.com (JustAGuy) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 08:42:14 UT

The gadgets have been removed.

Yet the author pages remain...

How difficult can it be for these pages to disappear / change?

All my gadgets links

Hi!
I was wondering if is possible to export somehow all the links to
my .xml google gadgets, maybe in opml format or whatever else. I have
too many and is difficult to track them now, an export option would be
great.
Thank you!

I figured it out. Turns out I was looking for the wrong property in
the wrong container.

Don't you know? This is how Google applies their "Do No Evil" theory.

CURRENT_LOCATION returns undefined

group....@gmail.com (vas) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:06:05 UT

Hi,

I am just starting out with igoogle APIs and I am stumped with getting
the location. The following line of code does not work -

location = person.getField(opensocial.Per son.Field.CURRENT_LOCATION);

It gives me the string "undefined". I am not sure why. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Searching in the directory problem

antoni.jakub...@gmail.com (Antoni Jakubiak) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:21:14 UT

Hi,

That happened to me no more than once.
Searching in the iGoogle directory does not work at all,
but only for certain queries, eg.:

I am searching for "chessig" and I am geting response:

Duplicated gadget in directory

I've had about half of my gadget delisted as well.

This is one reason why I've considered this platform as dead. Google
is apparently taking a page out of Apple's playbook of screwing
developers.

You can try re-submitting the gadget but I'm not sure if they will
relist it.

Go figure. "Do no evil" my ass.

My "Reminders from God" gadget use to appear in the directory when I
searched directly with the name, but now does not appear. The gadget
has over 100K subscribers.

Any reason for de-listing an existing gadget?

Appreciate any help getting it listed in the directory again.

Google Sidebar Gadgets - AuthSub not returning to Calendar

dan.arri...@appirio.com (dan.arrigan@appirio.com) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:23:47 UT

Hello,

I'm trying to use AuthSub within a Google Sidebar Gadget. Technically
it works in that the user is authenticated.

However, instead of returning back to the calendar, after the user has
been authenticated and permission granted, the user is taken to the
url of the gadget directly.
