w00t thnx! this is great! (how do you make widgets, can you teach me that?)

Making a widget is just as easy as making a webpage. If you HTML, CSS, and JavaScript you can make one. PM me and I can get you started. if not, learn those languages first and then you'll be good to go.

I made a few more updates on the widget. It now defaults to the back of the widget when it first loads for you to enter a username. I also made it so games you are playing show first, then games ready, then waiting, and then eliminated show last. The sorting should help you get to the games that are ready to go and not have to scroll through to find them.

Also, I updated the AJAX code to hopefully update the game list better than before.

Sorry, I thought I was done with it last night when I uploaded it but all these ideas are hitting me know. Keep any other suggestions coming.

Only the first is related to Firefox I believe. Not sure what problems you're having with the rest. If you could be more specific, I might be able to help.

In using this widget, I noticed that I was interested in watching and keeping track of my teammates and friends games to see what games they were participating in and how they were doing, etc.

I was ending up with a lot of the Conquer Club widgets on my screen so I decided to recode the widget to be able to handle more than one username in the same widget.

The widget can now accept multiple usernames. These names are stored in dropdown boxes and you can easily select the user you wish to view or delete from this watch list.

Other slight changes are that status icons are hiding by default until a user is selected, correctly alternating the colors of the games, improved Ajax calls, and slight text changes.

Enjoy and let me know of any feedback you have or problems that you run into!

I'm open to suggestions as well. Remember, I can only do what's inside of the RSS. If it's not in the RSS feed, it'll have to be added there first before I can add it to the widget.

this is great, very helpful for those playing at work and dont want to get caught with a CC screen up all the time, as you check to see if your turn is up!

Thanks for finally looking out for us Mac users, this is awesome!

[NanoSpores]

[Janiv]

Would it be possible to get this widget added to the sticky at the top of this forum so Mac users can find this resource more easily?

The widget is for a computer running Mac OS 10.4 or better. Assuming you are, download the file, unzip it to the desktop, and then double-click it. The widget will automatically be installed to your dashboard.

If you're not running a Mac, there are several similar notifying applications out there for Windows.

Unfortunately, this information isn't in the current RSS feed so I can't access it. There's several features I'd like to see added to the feed but I need to review the RSS 2.0 spec to see what would be the best way to add them in before posting a suggesting for updating the RSS. For now, this idea will have to wait until the RSS catches up to it.

Awesome Widget

Thank you very much

[ZawBanjito]

Amazing app, thanks man!

What I'd really like to have is "time remaining" listed along with the game info...

Because windows is an unoriginal bastard.

Janviv, I was thinking that maybe you could do a similar thing, except with friends list. A "Who's online" thing. You could have it similar, except there would be no tab to switch through the people, and instead of games, you would have people and it would say whether or not they are online. Here is the url you could use:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewonline.php
Anyway, I hope that helps, and that you could do this If you can, great. If you do, even better If you can't, o well, I'm sure lack will get around to it, and thanks anyway.
