Hi every one!

First let me thank Jeremy, yes the tabbed layout really worked. I am new to the mashup world. All i felt was exiting.

Ok now i have two queries:

1) How do i publish my application to an external web site authorizing my friends to view my page with the mashboard i created (with out being asked for logging in)?

2) I tried the wiring option but was unsuccessful as the all the buttons of the dialog were disabled. I had created multiple workspaces. What is that i missed out?

Thank you all.

Have a happy mashing time.

Ramkumar

For #1, this is called guest access, or anonymous access. What you must do is set the run permissions for your App -- AND for every mashable or mashup that the App uses or any mashup the App uses -- to allow anonymous access. See this topic in the documentation for how to set run permissions: http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.0/hub/grantRunPermission.html.

In terms of putting it in your web site, this is called publishing. If you open the App in Presto Hub from Search or any link, you get the App artifact page. The Preview tab has buttons that let you embed the App in a web site, or publish it to iGoogle or SharePoint (if you have SharePoint and the Mashup Sites for SP add-on). See this documentation topic that talks about how to publish Apps: http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.0/apps/app-details.html.

For wiring, there are several possible reasons why you can't see anything when you try to wire the workspace. A couple of common reasons are:

* basic Apps that you create with App Maker sometimes don't clearly communicate with Mashboard about the topics that they may publish. This is common with charts, especially. Try clicking in the various Apps to mimic the events that you think may publish information, such as clicking in the row of a table or clicking on a slice of a pie. Then open wiring again and see if you see something.

* custom Apps created by a developer must specify the topics they publish or subscribe to in the App Spec. If you're using a custom App that you created or some other developer created, this may be missing. See this documentation topic for the basics http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.0/apps-dev/topicsRef.html.

If that doesn't clear it up, please give us some more specific information and we'll help track it down.
