How do I call a dialog component from an OpenSocial gadget in IBM Connections?

Question

I'd like to use an OpenSocial gadget within the "My Page" screen to display a Grid of results.

Clicking on a link in the grid would popup either a Dialog (like for the "Share" button) or a Flyout (like for embedded experiences in the activity stream).

How would I achieve this? Is it documented anywhere?

Answer 1

David there is an example of how to do this in the developer bootstrap page in Connections. You should be able to call gadgets.views.openGadget API to open a dialog.

Answer 2

Further to Ryan's point, you can see some info on using the bootstrap page on developerworks, you'll want to look at the views example gadget. Unfortunately you can only open a dialog in Connections, the EE style flyout is not available to gadgets on My Page.
