Profile URLs, how to?

[Suhail Doshi]

I noticed via the gadget tutorial that you use a hardcoded: profile =
'http://sandbox.orkut.com' + profile;

This is obviously not going to create a gadget cross compatible across
all networks, what are we supposed to use instead for compatibility?

Hi Suhail,

That's a good catch. Can you supply the url of the tutorial that
makes this error so that we can fix it?

Currently, the sandbox url is passed as the "parent" querystring
parameter to the application iframe url. Writing

var profile = _args()["parent"] +
person.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL);

should be more portable.

There maybe be more floating around the site Kurrik.
