NEWBIE QUESTION: About Dashboard feature

mihoko's picture
Hi there, I have a question about Dashboard feature. Is it possible to display images on my own Dashboard as the Try-it Gadget? I tested to add sample mashup services included WSO2 Mashup Server v1.5 to my own dashboard. For example, about digit2image Mashup, this gadget is able to get the URL information stored image, but not able to display the image. Is it possible to display the image on my own Dashboard? Thanks in advance. Mihoko.

Yes you certainly can

Hi,

Yes you certainly can. Have a look at http://mooshup.com/dashboard/ our community site (or the one in your local installation). The default set of gadgets have images in them.

The TryIt of the Digit2Image sample you mentioned isn't supposed to display the image. It just displays the URL, that is returned from the service operation.

Are there easy way?

I wrote you some sample code...

Thanks for the comment, I've answered and expanded on your question on my blog.  See Creating a custom Google Gadget for a mashup.
