Adding OpenSocial Applications

2007 Dec 08 - Gabrys

Hello

This time I will talk about the process of adding a widget to any wiki site. This is a little bit different than any other module, because every application need an owner.

So this is what we want adding an application look like:

  • every user will have "OpenSocial Applications" section in their My Account panel, which
    • lists and shows every OpenSocial Application that is owned by the user
    • allows to add a new application
      • by entering OpenSocial widget URI
      • by entering OpenSocial source code (in XML)
      • by selecting a page from any wiki, which should contain a code block with the source of the application
    • shows a Wiki code that needs to be inserted on any wiki page in order to display the widget
    • displays a link to chosen OpenSocial applications and some info about them

The purpose of this site (http://opensocial.wikidot.com/) will change a bit as well. It will contain any valuable information on

  • developing OpenSocial applications
    • publishing YOUR OpenSocial applications with Wikidot, thus allowing them to be used on other OpenSocial networks like Ning.
  • embedding OpenSocial applications on wiki pages
  • additionally it will be a directory of nice OpenSocial Applications of our choice
