Hosting a local gadget

[Daniel França]

Hi,

I'm trying to host a local gadget running Apache,

when I try to access that via browaer it works fine (and even work inside my company network), but in Google Wave the gadget appears broken, and I don't have any tip about why it's happening (Or I don't know where to see that).

The same gadget XML gadget file works fine when it's hosted in Google Hosting.

Any hint about how can I find out what's happening here?

Best Regards,

Daniel C. França

Hi Daniel -

Gadgets must be hosted on a public server, as they are sent through a proxy on the gadgets container server to get rendered. I thought we put that restriction in the docs, but perhaps it needs to be made more prominent. You may want to try hosting the XML publicly, and referring to your local server files in scrript tags .

Pamela, could you clarify or point to the docs that show what part(s)
of a Gadget have to be hosted on a public server? Does the actual
Gadget code have to be exposed publicly?

Cheers,
Paul

This section talks about the gadget being publicly visible:
http://code.google.com/apis/wave/extensions/gadgets/guide.html#hello

The actual XML is fetched through the gadgets proxy. Anything else
referenced in the gadget should be fetched by the browser, same as a
normal webpage.

If you want to share your gadget with the world one day, every aspect
will need to be public (same as a webpage).

Hi, Pamela

I followed all the guideline on the Get Started page for building a
Wave Gadget. The section "Running a Gadget talks about hosting on GGE
and SVN". I tried hosting with GGE. Even though the file was uploaded
successfully, I wasn't redirected to any syndication creator page as
instructed in the "Publishing Your Gadget from GGE section".

Also, I don't seem to see any difference between hosting on GGE and
SVN. It seems both links to the same page.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Could you help shed more light.

Hi, did you click in "Publish"? after that should appear a link in upper right.

Anyway I think GGE is a lot unstable tool, sometimes it works fine, sometimes don't, sometimes I can't publish and it don't even show me some error message, etc.

@Daniel

Yes I click on "Publish", but nothing seems to happen. Though I can see the link at the upper right, I copied it and tried to use it on the Google Wave Preview in the developer sandbox, but seems to happens. I was expecting after clicking publish I would be taken to a "syndication creation page". 

So, what is your suggested alternative.

Hi,

the same was happening to me yesterday (I didn't try today)... click publish, but dont update the file really and no error message appears.

I'm looking for a new hosting, I really can't trust on GGE.

[Daniel França]

try using Gadget Checker:

http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=www.google.com/ig/modules/codechecker/codechecker.xml

[Daniel França]

why wave.getWaveId() is working fine on Firefox, but returning null in Chrome?

function init()

{

wave_id = wave.getWaveId().split('+')[1];

}

[Daniel França]

GGE is driving me crazy hehehe, sometimes works, sometimes dont, sometimes update, sometimes dont... it's normal?

2010/2/3 Daniel França <daniel...@gmail.com>

[Daniel França]

Sometimes I publish the file (now using Gadget Checker because GGE simply can't even save my files), if I go to the url of the xml it seems up to date, fine... but if I add to a wave or simply open that in the GGE it's not updated. strange

2010/2/3 Daniel França <daniel...@gmail.com>

[kayode odeyemi]

Just trying my hand now on the Google Checker

2010/2/3 Daniel França <daniel...@gmail.com>

[kayode odeyemi]

I've started using Google Code. I did not see it earlier. 

About Gadget Checker, I see that you can't use it without GGE.

Thanks for your help anyways.

I thought that all gadget stuff is requested directly from end-user
browser, isn't it?

The XML goes through the gadget proxy. That is true for all gadget
containers. See slide 18 here:
http://www.slideshare.net/wuzziwug/opensocial-intro-presentation

Most gadget containers also provide methods of sending other content
through the proxy, for caching purposes.
All io.makeRequests call also go through proxy.

Thanks for slides.

But need more clarifications.
In context of wave - what is the wave server - gadget server, proxy or
container?
And is gagets.io.makeRequest available in wave?
What other opensocial features supported in wave?

In context of wave:

Google Wave (wave.google.com) is the container server. When it embeds
gadgets, it uses another gadget server (gmodules.com).
That gadget server proxies the XML and converts it into HTML. It also
proxies any requests through gadgets.io.makeRequest() or
gadgets.io.getProxyUrl().

Wave supports the standard gadgets.* API methods
(http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/).
For gadgets.io.makeRequest, we support requests for external data, but
not social data from the container.
