how to add mashlet to a sharepoint site

Was this answered? I'd be interested in how mashlets can be used in MOSS.

Hi Josh,

We're preparing a series of posts for MDC in the next few weeks that will provide info on some customer-driven work we've done in the area of mashing Sharepoint. We'll be answering your question in detail, including a discussion of how you can configure the XML Web Part to invoke and display any Presto Published Mashup within Sharepoint. In order to accomplish this, the XML Web Part must be configured with an XSL Stylesheet to transform the returned Mashup data and would be configured to use the rest URL of your Mashup.

Another option is to use the RSS Viewer Web Part, which we'll discuss in the upcoming series of posts, as well, which should be online on MDC in the next week or two.

Does this help get you started in the meantime?

Dan,

Thanks for the followup. I will wait till I see your posts on how this is done. I think that being able to add presto mashlets to a SharePoint web part will be very big, especially in the corporate world where SharePoint has become very popular.

Josh,

The 'Developer's Guide to Mashups and Microsoft Sharepoint' series is at http://www.jackbe.com/enterprise-mashup/blog/mashing-sharepoint-introduction.  I think you'll find the 1st post very helpful.

Chris,

Thanks for your update, as i look at the documentation - "Sharepoint Consuming Mashlets" I notice that the mashlet url contains a "uwa-view" component, which I do not have and was unable to create, all i see is either the standalone url as per below or the html embed

http://153.7.162.36:8080/mashlets/standalone.jsp?mashlet=jztest3mashup.Mashlet 

<script src="http://153.7.162.36:8080/mashlets?mashlet=jztest3mashup.Mashlet"></script>
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks,
josh

hi Josh,

You dont need to create uwa-view.jsp, it is bundled with Presto, assuming you have Pretso deployed on Tomcat, you'll find it at

    <tomcat installed directory>/webapps/mashlets/uwa-view.jsp.

You should be able to test it by just entering something like this in your browser:

    http://<your ip address>/mashlets/uwa-view.jsp?mid=<Your Mashlet Name>&height=300

 This will display the mashlet in a similar manner to the way mashlets/standalone.jsp does but without the header and framing.

uwa-view.jsp expects to be used inside an iframe.

Hope this helps.
