I am developing a Wordpress widget for the Otavo badge so members can easily put their feed on their wordpress sites (without having to know any HTML). I am completely done, but the one thing I was wondering was if there was any method of getting the JavaScript component by login versus the user number (I assume) that is there. 

Example; is there anyway for this:

http://otavo.com/qjs/user/995

to be:

http://otavo.com/qjs/user/lwallenstein

?

I am just trying to make it easier for the user when they have to fill out the widget configuration form

Not a show stopper, but I always like to design for as easy use and installation as possible... and it never hurts to ask.

 

Thanks.

Changes coming in next update

We will make JS and widget URLs 'friendly' by using username instead.

I look forward to seeing your widget.

Cheers.

Super alpha version here:

Also... since I might as well throw my 10 cents in now before you do any changes... can you make a version without the styling included so I can add the styles myself? The pinkish blue kinda clashes with my black and almost floresent web site.

CSS disable option will be added on next update

Default will stay the same...but if you provide a param nocss=1 it will not include any CSS in the JS/html

Update is coming this Sat, btw.

Cheers.

Updates commited.

Lynn,

We have changed the URL to accept usernames instead of user id.

Adding nocss=1 as a parameter will disable the CSS as discussed.

Example: http://otavo.com/qjs/user/lwallenstein?nocss=1

Cheers.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I will integrate both options into my widget... and perhaps write up a little document on styling it yourself for all the web design geeks out there like myself.

 

I will post the final copy up tommorrow.

Otavo Wordpress Sidebar Widget 2.0

Updated my Widget to work with the login name instead of the number:

 

Otavo Wordpress Sidebar Widget 2.0 - http://lwallenstein.poweredbygeek.net/wordpress/?p=8

 

Future plans are for a configurable style version that allows people to create a style from the widget.
