Hey Jason,

Unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment. We're aware that this is a feature request, and it's on our to-do list.

You can set default values for each userpref, but this would have to be hard-coded in the gadget. However this assumes that you only want one set of values that all users should start with.

Thanks!

Dann

Hey, I've got a Gadget that lets you see a travel map that you've created over at Blogabond.com. I'd love to be able to give my users an "Add To Google" link that pre-populates the User Preference that I'm using to specify which map to show.

I've been playing around with URLs, and I can't seem to get it to pass the Pref along to the gadget when it adds it to the user's homepage. Here's what I'm trying to do:

simple

what I'd like to
do:http://fusion.google.com/add?UP_tripID=43&moduleurl=http://www.blogab...

... and that would ideally populate a UserPref called "tripID" to 43. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!
