- Thanks again... Sorry to bother you.. I'm having a little trouble getting it to work on my wiki (example if you see source code: example page on this wiki .. it's probably something I'm doing so I'm trying to debug.. --LainieH 02:27, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
- You're using Widgets 0.8.5 which is outdated and you better upgrade it to the latest one: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets#Installation - there were some formatting bugs fixed there. --Sergey Chernyshev 20:20, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

RootsTV
Sergey
I love your Widget Extension. I need some help developing one for an organization I do volunteer work for. I need to embed flash movies from http://www.rootstelevision.com/. I started working on the code and can post it here if that's ok. Thanks for all you do. Hutchy68 09:02, July 23, 2010 (MDT)
- Yeah, absolutely! Feel free to create a widget page for it - I'll check it out, maybe fix a thing here and there if needed and post it live. --Sergey Chernyshev 09:57, July 23, 2010 (MDT)
Screencast widget?
Hi Sergey, we are loving your code on sasCommunity.org. Would it be possible to create a Screencast widget for Camtasia videos? https://www.screencast.com/.. --LainieH 10:38, July 26, 2010 (MDT)
- I'll check it out - it might not be as simple as it should ;( --Sergey Chernyshev 15:12, July 26, 2010 (MDT)
- Yeah, as I thought, it's not that easy - code also depends on type of the content too. --Sergey Chernyshev 15:40, July 26, 2010 (MDT)
How to approve new widgets?
Hi Sergey,
I started Widget:OpenWetWare (on the basis of Widget:Wikipedia) and would like to know what the procedure is to get such a new widget set up. Thanks! --Mietchen 06:17, August 16, 2010 (MDT)
- It looks good, I approved it. You can see the result on catalog page: OpenWetWare --Sergey Chernyshev 08:55, August 16, 2010 (MDT)
- Thank you. I added a few more: EoEarth, Scholarpedia, Citizendium, WikiEducator, AcaWiki, WebCite. --Mietchen 14:07, August 16, 2010 (MDT)
- I wonder if using Iframe Widget is a more universal solution? --Sergey Chernyshev 15:31, August 16, 2010 (MDT)
- Thank you. I added a few more: EoEarth, Scholarpedia, Citizendium, WikiEducator, AcaWiki, WebCite. --Mietchen 14:07, August 16, 2010 (MDT)
- That would have been my preference (see test page), but (1) it does not work at Citizendium (possibly due to an old MediaWiki version, see test page), nor is it used at any of the other wikis mentioned above, (2) having a generic iframe widget poses more security risks than a specific one. Perhaps setting one up for Mediawiki sites would be a solution? --Mietchen 02:22, August 17, 2010 (MDT)
- Yeah, if you can make one, that'd be great - just have another parameter for base URL - this way people can use it with template hardcoding the base in template. --Sergey Chernyshev 07:52, August 17, 2010 (MDT)

- Will give it a try, probably with base URL and 'language' and oldid. --Mietchen 13:05, August 17, 2010 (MDT)
- Seems overly complex to me. Any reason why this is needed? Can't it be done through IFrame and {{fullurl:}}? Maybe wrapped into a template? I just want to limit amount of widgets really --Sergey Chernyshev 12:16, September 7, 2010 (MDT)
Google Static maps
Hi I'm agree google maps has the functionalities of google static maps but I did this widget because I test a new extension mediawiki where I can push parameters automatically to one widget... So I need a widget "simple" for give an example for use my extension. If you want, you can rename this widget like "example widget with foreach"... And also google static maps is very cool because I develop on my pc so I can not ask a google's key and the version static can work without. If you can host this widget, it would be cool ;)
Thanks. Karima
New Widgets Added
Sorry to bother you. I added a couple of widgets (Wibya Bar and FeedZilla News Feed) for your review. I am not a coder and really have no idea why they work other than the fact that trial and error made them work. I had a big need for Wibya especially and so did some friends of mine and I thought that they might be nice for others to have.
My concern is that primarily I am NOT a coder. My sites are SSL and the only drawback I found is that it broke the SSL as their feeds (I guess that's the term) are http and not https. YouTube finally corrected this, but I have no idea about these other folks. So, I guess what I am driving at is I don't know jack about security or how to clean up code.
My sites are here for your review and I added them to the submissions pages which I am sure will have to be cleaned up by whomever if they are accepted.
--Coffeehound 20:20, October 28, 2011 (AST)
- Well, you didn't create widgets really - just pasted the code into the page. Somebody needs to really code them up. --Sergey Chernyshev 22:46, October 28, 2011 (AST)
So, should they be removed and forwarded to the coding gurus (which I guess is you and your folks) or ...? I mean I don't really care about any type of credit. The Wibya one is what really got me trying to do something. I mean there is a TON of threads begging for a bar and zero input. (Here's an example). Regardless, if they pose a security threat they shouldn't be live and I see they are listed under the Widgets section. --Coffeehound 23:53, October 28, 2011 (AST)
Spammy
The site is pretty heavily infested. Have you thought about adding mw:Extension:Antibot and the other simple anti-spam measures? - Amgine 14:41, November 3, 2011 (AST)
- Antibot seems to be for WikiMedia only, based on comments, but I do want to get rid of spam a lot, unfortunately all previous attempts did not succeed. --Sergey Chernyshev 17:03, November 3, 2011 (AST)
How to create a Widget
Hi Sergey; there is a Help page about how to convert a embed code into a Widget? I wanna to create someones. I explained it here. Thanks. --Dvdgmz 04:31, November 23, 2011 (AST)
- It's kind of explained here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets#Widget_page_syntax and you can also try looking at other widgets and learn from there. --Sergey Chernyshev 00:18, November 29, 2011 (AST)
