Google Gadget Shows a List of Profiles on iGoogle

May 20

Profile List Gadget A new Google Gadget is available on the Gadgets page of the Applicant Site Examples application. This gadget, like the whole application, is provided as an open source project on the Solutions » Open Source page of this site.

The Profile List Gadget demonstrates a few important concepts that can be used to further extend your ClearStar.net site and add value to your service for your customers.

Dashboards – The iGoogle platform is “a customizable AJAX-based startpage or personal web portal” (from Wikipedia) that allows people to create their own dashboard for managing and tracking the information that is important to them. This gadget shows how you can develop tools that help your users to keep in touch with your service even when they’re not in the system.
Wrapping Methods – The key method for this gadget is the Profile.GetListOfProfiles method. Rather than call it directly, which would much more difficult to do securely, the gadget calls a page that calls the method. This way the authentication can be kept securely on the server and is never exposed to the end-user or on iGoogle.
Hiding Personal Information – The Profile.GetListOfProfiles method returns Personal Identifiable Information (PII), including SSN and date of birth. To keep this from being sent to the gadget, the page that calls the method runs the result through a XSL template that sorts the result and limits the fields that are returned.
