ehMac Widget

A few questions/notes:

First, the widget, has a bug since ehMax has changed the way the front page appeared, and should be remedied shortly as both jfpoole and I (whose ever version you so wish to use) just have to move some code around, luckily no changing needed.

Notes: When ehMax adds his new forum, the widget should be updated Monday night to accomodate the new forum.

Questions: Who here uses the widget?

If you do not know what a widget is, a widget is like a mini application that runs through an application Konfabulator (downloadable at Konfabulator.com) that allows JavaScript/XML applications to run right on your desktop. The ehMac widget, created by jfpoole (God Bless His Soul) and messed around with by yours truly I know for me has helped in that it allows me to see what has been posted lately. However it is Mac OS X only at this time, I don't think the makers of Konfabulator are going to port it to the Windows side of the world.

Edit: On my work with the widget, I think I have it almost ready for tomorrow's new addition! Current new features: Updated names :cool: and sports a new logo! Customization is so much fun :D

Don't forget to update the code to the new ehmac dot ca.

I have noticed that clicking on the widget takes you to the dot com addresses. The information is still there but it gives you the message
>> You are not logged in......

But I am and if I return to the homepage (via ehmac.ca) sure enouph I really am logged in.

Well, waiting for that new part of ehMac to spring up or ehMax to tell us that he opened a special Public Official thread, and that I need not bother with it. But other then that, the rest of the widget is done. Still don't know how many people use it. I'll try a poll.

ehMax - all righty then, I'm ready for it whenever it shows up


Heart - Don't we all?

Although, to me it seems that the amount of people here who use the widget are a very small minority. If any one has any suggestions to change the widget, just post them here!

Heart and/or ehMax - Can I get any new info about it? eg. the forum number (like Anything Mac is 1 and the Mac Help & Troubleshooting is number 10 and the new one is ##? I believe it would be 15, but I can't remember what number this forum had got to) or name? Or shall I get to enjoy the adrenaline rush of changing 3 lines of code and putting it on the web and gloating that I have it done?
