I just wanted to inform you that I did a change which required you to restart your gadget..It is now stuck without refreshing.

We apologize for the inconvenience...
It now works fine.
Cheers

I added the current gadget to the first topic. I'll get with Steven and John to see how to make it a nice little DL button again.

Yes you do
This is the sevenforums.html page. Open it with any html editor, or even notepad, and do as I posted above.

Lengthened mine a tad also (790). Worked great. Looks good.

Excellent gadget, Limneos. Just one thing - when you have logged in and have viewed the list and sent the gadget to sleep, when you wake it back up, you have to log in again. Is this a bug, or is it intentional?

 

[limneos]

Thanks Dwarf.

No, I did it intentionally so that it deletes the cookie and signs you in again, cause otherwise it keeps loggin in and the status shows you're always loggin in.

On the next version I'm working on saving the personal data such as login info, height, positioning etc so that you won't need to do them everytime.

This is great work limneos! Keep it up.

Am using it regularly and it helps an awful lot. The latest version has really taken a great improvement leap.

Cheers!

Hi Limneos,I am trying out your gadget ,very impressive ,keep up the good work,well done.

Hi Limneos,

Thanks for the reply. As you can see from the image, some of the information is obscured. I understand that you are not yet privy to the contents of the Staff Lounge so you have probably set the vertical height accordingly, but as you can see this is partially hidden by my avatar and the Google and Forum links. Also, at the top, the gadget logo does hide the names of the latest posts in the top 3 listed sub-forums, particularly General Discussion.

Just a suggestion, since it is a large gadget - would it be possible to arrange for it to auto-hide until you hover over the gadget emblem?

 

[limneos]

Hello Dwarf!

First of all, thanks for the feedback.

1. The autohide for the logo sounds really good, or I could just give a 20% transparency and when you hover you can see it 100%.

2. As for the extra forums that you see as a privilege member, I have set the gadget to a standard height according to what most users see. However, you can change the height of the gadget so that the extra forums don't get covered by your avatar etc. using this guide I posted for Airbot -> http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/2930-sevenforums-gadget-22.html#post48709

3. I don't understand why you don't see the images of the forums, and you see emtpy squares instead. Can you please login to this page: http://www.kcs.gr/gadgets/users.php and tell me if you the images? Thank you.

4. I think autohiding the whole gadget is not possible,or at least it won't work as expected when you restore it, but I'll look it up.

Edit: I'm currently working on the ability to customize the height, login info etc from the settings dialog, so you won't need to do any extra modifications.

I see the images logging in to that page limneos. As mine is the same as Dwarfs with no icons. (Using Firefox)

 

[limneos]

hmm...

ok, so let me get this straight:

1. You're using firefox as the default browser , so the gadget uses that browser too, but it doesn't display the images in the gadget.
2. However, if you login directly to the page from firefox , you do see the images?

 

[Airbot]

You got it.

 

[Dwarf]

Thanks, Limneos. I have checked the link you gave in point 3, and logging in, both as a guest and as me, I can see the icons. However, when displayed as a desktop gadget, I cannot see the icons when logged in as myself, but I CAN see them when logged in as a guest As regards the gadget height, I shall have a play around with the metrics (your point 2) when I have more time.

 

[limneos]

Please let me know if you now see any changes in the images in the gadget

 

[Dwarf]

Sorry, but no change. I will have a play with the metrics tomorrow to see if that makes any difference.

 

[Airbot]

I see three little icons on the last three forums.

 

[limneos]

Please close and re-open the gadget, and hover over the x gadgeters online and let me know what you see
