Talk:Google Gadget

From MediaWiki Widgets

Hi.

I can't seem to get any of these to work. For example, this BBC feed: http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?synd=open&url=http%3A%2F%2Fshazingo.com%2Flig%2Flg%2F132002.xml&lang=en

The Google code is:

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://shazingo.com/lig/lg/132002.xml&up_extrafeed=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsrss.bbc.co.uk%2Frss%2Fnewsonline_uk_edition%2Fhealth%2Frss.xml&up_extratitle=Health&up_subject=BBC%20News&up_entries=6&up_summaries=300&up_selectedTab=&synd=open&w=320&h=360&title=__UP_subject__&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

So I've tried:

{{#widget:Google Gadget
|url=http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://shazingo.com/lig/lg/132002.xml&up_extrafeed=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsrss.bbc.co.uk%2Frss%2Fnewsonline_uk_edition%2Fhealth%2Frss.xml&up_extratitle=Health&up_subject=BBC%20News&up_entries=6&up_summaries=300&up_selectedTab=&synd=open&w=320&h=360&title=__UP_subject__&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js
|title=__UP_subject__
|width=300
|height=200
}}

But I get nothing. Its like for for every gadget I've tried so far. I guess I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Many thanks mitchelln 16th June 2010 10:30 GMT.

Okay, got it to work. You don't need the http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr? prefix :)

Glad it worked for you after all, sorry I couldn't reply on time ;) --Sergey Chernyshev 18:17, June 19, 2010 (MDT)

Google Custom Search

Hi,

I added an example of using this widget for a Google Custom Search box. Two questions: 1) is this example superfluous, 2) should I try to make a separate widget for Google Custom Search?

Thank you, --Lonny 09:35, January 2, 2011 (MST)

it's good, just call it "Appropedia's public domain search" instead of generalizing so people are not confused --Sergey Chernyshev 15:17, January 2, 2011 (MST)
