Custom SevenForums Gadgets

[limneos]

I couldn't sleep last night (it's 7.50 am in Greece now) so I thought I should give it a go with creating gadgets...

I created one that lists the latest posts of this forum.

Feel free to download and test it.

It's a beta version, I'll be doing some upgrades, fixing the looks and stuff.

Please post feedback and bugs, if you like it.

Cheers

Another small gadget I made today.
It's nothing special, just a SevenForums customized clock, only I have added Digital Clock and Date options too.

Special thanks to Mr.Grim for supplying modified logos (taken
from the other gadget I made)

   Note

I haven't found a way to "pack" it , yet, so please copy the gadget folder to your
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets

actually a "packed" gadget is just a zipped gadget renamed to .gadget...
try it just remember not to have any folders inside meaning before the gadget .xml and other stuff....

this is just to show you...
i repacked it so you can see....

Great work limneos

I think that deserves a promotion

 

[limneos]

Thanks a lot, z3r010.. I was really sleepy...I will enhance it soon, with settings, refresh rate, customizations etc.

Thank, darkkassain, that's what i needed

 

[Airbot]

I'd say so, congrats Limneos on your first gadget and promotion. On some feedback, can you add the ability to collapse it when you start customizing?

 

[limneos]

That's first on my list, Airbot. Thanks for testing

 

[mansrm81]

[limneos]

yeay!!! I got my cake!!!

 

[z3r010]

My gadget just stopped working for a few mins with the following error

 

[limneos]

I was updating the php script...Fixed in 10 seconds

 

[limneos]

The current refresh rate for the posts is 15 seconds... Do you suggest any other? that I can fix live... I also intend to include it in the settings, so the user can change it

 

[z3r010]

I would up it to 30 seconds, and if you put a user setting in for this make 15 seconds the lowest, this will help keep server requests down.

 

[limneos]

Done. Its now set to 30. Minimum will be 15 in any case, thought I'm using Curl with caching, which won't cause much server traffic.
