Wiring the Google Gadgets widget

If you can edit a page, you can wire the Google Gadgets widget to other widgets so that it receives and broadcasts events.

About this task

Many widgets create wires automatically when they are added to a page. You can also create wires manually. Manually wiring a widget is a task that requires understanding of how to wire an event broadcast by one widget to an event received by another widget. You might need to create a script to transform the payload content of the broadcast event into a format understood by the receiving event.
