A comment on the problem "crossdomain.xml issue?" in Widgetbox:

For now, that's all I've got. You'll see this error across the web with things like us, Facebook connect, and anyone else that needs to do cross-iframe JS. – Dave Rhea, on November 20, 2009 17:25

Hey Joel,

Looks like there's an issue here. It's related to Twitter usernames with capitalization. We'll look to get a fix out in the coming weeks. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Hey guys,

The error you're referring to looks to be the iframe security warning. You'll get it anytime you use Firebug or Safari's tools to view these errors. There's no way around it in the JS wrapper, but you can use the Flash wrapper if they really bug you.

Dave Rhea replied on November 19, 2009 22:43 to the question "My links opening in a widgetbox page" in Widgetbox:

You have the linkbar enabled. Try going into your blidget, turning off the linkbar (in the Extras section), and publishing changes.

Also, as with any blidget, the links open in a new window, so no traffic is leaving your site.

What browser are you using? Try ⌘0 – Dave Rhea, on November 19, 2009 19:36

Dave Rhea replied on November 19, 2009 17:22 to the question "Post Thumbnails" in Widgetbox:

If your posts don't have images in the feed, you won't get images in the bricks. You can adjust what the default image is for posts without images in the tab editor.

Hope this helps,
Dave

Hey Tim,

Since you're using your own site, not a blog service or something similar, I can only get you as far as getting the code for your widget. Installing that code into the source for your website is totally dependent on how your site's setup.

When you see the widget you want, click the GET WIDGET button. Click the COPY button to copy the code for the widget. Now install this code into the correct area of your site.

Hope this helps, Tim.

Hey Joel,

This can happen if the content in the feed meets certain criteria. Instead of giving you 50 reasons this could happen, why don't you post a link to your widget and I'll take a look. Sound good?

Hi Fahad,

Currently, this is not possible. We're hoping to add this functionality in the future, but I don't have an ETA.

Dave Rhea replied on November 18, 2009 17:11 to the question "Twitter Widget - no feed found ??!!" in Widgetbox:

Hey Mary,

It looks to be working for me. Could have been a tiny twitter feed outage that got cache for a period of time.

Dave Rhea replied on November 18, 2009 16:30 to the question "How can I edit or delete tabs?" in Widgetbox:

Hey there,

It's in the same area. When you mouse over the tab, a delete button will appear on the right side. See below for an example. It's the red circular button.



To edit, click on that 'more options' link, or click the little triangle to expand some more options.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass it on to the team that makes these partnerships.

Dave Rhea replied on November 17, 2009 17:02 to the question "Newbie question... Forbidden..." in Widgetbox:

Hi there, Lazaros.

Not a silly question at all. It sounds like your page 'onepage.php' isn't accessible to the outside world. I'm not sure where on your server you'd need to change this. Could be your .htaccess file (if that's relevant with your hosting provider)

You may be able to send a link to the widget to your hosting provider to have them give you specifics of what it takes to make this page accessible.

Hey Nikki,

Looks like an issue. We'll work on getting a fix out for this as soon as possible. May be a few hours

Yeah, I guess I was right the first time about us not supporting it. But since I screwed up, here's my special gift to you:

Dave Rhea replied on November 16, 2009 22:36 to the question "Exporting form widget results" in Widgetbox:

Just go to MY WIDGETBOX, Widgets Made, then click your widget's name. On that page, in the bottom left corner of the page, there's a link to export results.

Hope this helps!

Dave Rhea replied on November 16, 2009 19:28 to the question "Why can't doesn't Widgetbox automatically update my new posts?" in Widgetbox:

Once we pull in that network post, it's there por vida! We can't edit your posts, unfortunately.

Dave Rhea replied on November 16, 2009 19:27 to the question "Navigation next/prev in my widget (compare netvibes)" in Widgetbox:

Hi there,

If you're using an HTML/JS or Remote widget you can. You would just make links to go to the next set of results.

If you're using something like the Blidget, this is not possible.

A comment on the question "Exporting form widget results" in Widgetbox:

Yeah, CSV should get done what you need it to do. You may have to argue with Excel a little to make it nice. Some versions of excel seem to open CSV's as nicely formatted spreadsheets, others you may actually have to do an 'Import from text file' to import that CSV data.

Other than that, we're working on alternative ways for you to get the info you need. You may also be able to view the results on our site and copy paste that entire table into excel. – Dave Rhea, on November 16, 2009 19:22

Hey Andrew,

I'd love to help, but I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying. Can you please describe your issue in more detail so I can reproduce it? – Dave Rhea, on November 16, 2009 19:04
