iGoogle Gadget [walkthrough]

[christianlebe]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add Alfresco Gadgets to iGoogle. I have been able to see the webscripts running. Eg.

I have this on my index of webscripts package:

Alfresco GG Browser GET /alfresco/service/aggadget/folder/{path} 
 
Description: iGoogle Gadget for browsing the listing of folder contents 
Authentication: user 
Transaction: required 
Format Style: argument 
Default Format: html 
 
Id: org/alfresco/aggadget/folder.get 
Description: workspace://SpacesStore/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:webscripts/org/alfresco/aggadget/folder.get.desc.xml ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now, I'm not entirely sure which lin i should add to Add Gadges - or what is the proper step to add it into iGoogle - as i totally new to iGoogle.
I tried Add Gadget and put the url address that spits out XML: eg: http://solution01.vm.webvault.com.au:8080/alfresco/service/description/org/alfresco/aggadget/folder....
But Google doesnt like it

Any clue ?

The URL is the very first line, i.e. in your case

http://solution01.vm.webvault.com.au:8080/alfresco/service/aggadget/folder/‍

thanks MikeH,

I tried that but I got the following error from Google:

Error parsing module spec:
Not a properly formatted file 
missing xml header‍‍‍

However, I'm able to access the url directly and it shows the document lists - as in this case i tested Alfresco GG browser

Ah ok - have a look at Step 4 here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Google_Gadgets

The xml files in question are called:
- Alfresco_Browser.xml
- Alfresco_Search.xml
- Alfresco_Tasklist.xml

Thanks,
Mike

thanks Mike,

Sorry, but I cant find those files.

I tried editing folder.get.desc.xml by adding my server address to the url:

- <webscript>
  <shortname>Alfresco GG Browser</shortname> 
  <description>iGoogle Gadget for browsing the listing of folder contents</description> 
  <url>http://solution01.vm.webvault.com.au:8080/alfresco/aggadget/folder/{path}</url> 
  <format default="html">argument</format> 
  <authentication>user</authentication> 
  <transaction>required</transaction> 
  </webscript>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But still doesnt work, same error

[mikeh]

Restore the .desc.xml file to how it was, otherwise the webscript won't register correctly.

Where did you get the Google Gadgets from? The xml files should be part of that package.

this is good.
It's working now thanks, MikeH
