Since yesterday, an iGoogle gadget I developed didn't display anymore (I didn't change anything with it). All it displays is, "Information is temporarily unavailable." And today Thomas emails me and says none of his non-Google-created Google gadgets work anymore.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? |
I'm not having any issues. Maybe they have changed something in the API? |
I've just checked, apparently the last API update was May (they really need an iGoogle blog, it would make checking much easier). What gadget are you having issues with? |
It worked for me when I clicked the "Add by URL" box and then copied the URI into the box. I can see the gadget on my homepage aswell.
The modules contents are requested by JS, so if there is a problem it is either the users connection to gmodules.com (a Google hosted domain) or more likely gmodules.com connection to the gadget. The gmodules.com page for the gadget is:
> http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://blogoscoped.com/homepage/multi-search-light.xml&nocache=1&lang=en&country=us&.lang=en&.country=us&synd=ig&mid=53&parent=http://www.google.com
I've requested the gadget using the cache=1 GET variable, when developing a gadget in the past, I have found that this actually forces Google to delete the old cached file and replace it. |
Hmm... I wonder if iGoogle doesn't understand the permanent redirect header from blog.outer-court.com to blogoscoped.com! |
I've had some odd gadget behavior popup in the last few days. Now Google Reader loads the gadget with "(Labs)" in the title, but then it seems like the gadget refreshes or loads again and the "(Labs)" disappears from the title. Likewise the compound gadget I have loads some message about being unable to load, but then refreshes/updates and everything is fine. And all of this happens within the time it takes the page to load, so I don't know what's going on. These gadgets didn't do this before. |
