Is there a way to pass parameters from the parent request string? On Myspace you can use an appParams bag.

I should probably also state that this isn't an April Fool's joke

Yes the parameter name is view-params instead of appParams on Hi5.

That's good news, but I can't seem to get it to work. Would it be possible to get an example? I try appending view-params to my canvas URI but it doesn't seem to make it to my application

Did anyone get this to work? Can you pass parameters via appParams or view-params?

I happen to know, thanks to Roman Mazur, another developer on the forum, that Graffiti has been using this methodology for directing traffic from friend updates with view-params set. Perhaps someone from the Graffiti team can pitch in with their experience?

Sameer.

Jeff, you can also parameters via the requestNavigateTo function. Here's a post from Lou to another thread that you might find helpful:

--------

http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.7/
reference/gadgets.views.html#requestNavigateTo

view-params are encoded in json format, not like query params. The opts you pass in to requestNavigateTo should be a map, and then the parameters are appended properly to the new view's url.


I whipped up a sample app that demonstrates proper usage - you should be able to get to the code here:

http://www.hi5.com/friend/apps/developer/app/get/xml/12867

hope that helps,
Lou

yeah, even if you aren't using requestNavigateTo you can see the proper syntax for view-params if you execute the code in this example. it's encoded json notation, not encoded url query param notation. Here's a sample that works i snipped from a url, and represents path=http://hi5.com:

 view-params=%7B%22path%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fhi5.com%22%7D 

which is view-params={"path":"http://hi5.com"} before encoding. pretty sure you can also get the right syntax by using gadgets.json.stringify:

 var viewParams = {};
viewParams['path'] = 'http://hi5.com';
var viewParamsStr = gadgets.json.stringify(viewParams);
var url = url + "?view-params=" + viewParamsStr; 

this is all accurate to opensocial spec. hope that helps.

Yeah... I really believe that view-params=%7B%22path%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fhi5.com%22%7D works. But the trouble is connected with posting such part of link to the profile updates section via FriendsUpdateService.
I really don't know how to encode view-params=%7B%22path%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fhi5.com%22%7D properly in order to pass it as the value of the paramater 'title' or 'body' in the FriendsUpdate request.
