Gadget mode issues #444

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

I've developed a little game application, for testing, that includes all 
the elements of a real-world app (cross-domain jsonp, dynamic loading etc). 
Basically, it works great so Waves has the capacity to be the front-end 
application platform we were hoping for, great job!

But .... the application needs to handle the wave mode to support proper 
playback, so I included "wave-preview". From that point on I've become 
increasingly confused. What's the intended mechanism, what's a temporary 
solution etc?

I've written a minimalistic state test application to try and sort it out:

In the introduction "Get Ready to Wave", we're pointed to 
http://code.google.com/apis/wave. If I follow these instructions, on how to 
build a wave gadget, I'll get a gadget that doesn't work properly; it 
doesn't receive MODE changes and, thus, playback can't be supported.

On various place there are references to a "wave-preview". If I include 
this the gadget works according to documentation but, instead, it becomes 
sort of random; sometimes not working at all. This behavior is both browser 
and load-time dependent. Seems, at least for the moment, to work with 
Firefox but not with Chrome...

Finally, if I implement the gadget the way the Google Map gadget is 
implemented it works! This, however, is quite different from the 
documentation. You need to provide a html-document, rather than the body 
portion only, and trigger the gadget yourself on body-load. Also the mode 
is passed to the callback as an argument, as opposed to using getMode, just 
to mention a few things.

So, will it later on work according to documentation? And, if so, will the 
"Map Gadget workaround" still work?

Regards,
Ola

Hi Ola - There were several reported issues with wave-preview that were fixed 
in the 
Nov. 24th release. It looks like you were suffering from them. Please check 
wave-
preview now and see if it works for you.
