Container-specific Tips

Submission

hi5 requires that the author_email field of the ModulePrefs tag match the e-mail address of the developer's hi5 account.

Views

hi5 supports three views:

• Profile - This is the user's profile page, visible to VIEWERs and OWNERs. It is very small (~300 x 190) but can be vertically resized via gadgets.window.adjustHeight.
• Preview - This is a special view of the gadget for people that have not yet installed it. It is large like the Canvas view but includes a sidebar with application information and a link to add the gadget to the user's profile.
• Canvas - A large space for VIEWERs and OWNERs.

Implementation Differences

hi5's profile page has some rendering issues in Safari. Widgets will sometimes not appear.

hi5 does not respect the height or width field of the ModulePrefs tag. However, the height of a gadget in the profile view can be changed with gadgets.window.adjustHeight. hi5 prohibits calls to adjustHeight from the Canvas view.

hi5 only allows activity streams to be written (via requestCreateActivity()) from the Canvas view.

hi5's "view as another" feature does not change the OWNER or VIEWER id, so it's not useful for testing differences between OWNER and VIEWER gadget views.
