New Widget for Showing off your Articles

[TammiKibler]

Hello Suzanne,

The widget appears to work above on Stephanie's Blogspot.com blog, but I am finding the same problem you have when I try to put the widget on my Blogger blog.

Hmmm .. interesting. Perhaps someone will drop by from Tech Support .. glad I haven't snapped something off by mistake

I do know it's working you can check out a version that is working on blogspot (which is as far as I know the same as blogger) at http://freelancemoms.blogspot.com/

Did you follow the steps in the video? http://www.youtube.com/ConstantContentV ... SQFgFX5yaQ

or use a different process?

If you point me to where you've installed the code I'll have a look.

Thanks,

Thank you for the video.

I am still finding the widget isn't working correctly.

It seems ok to me. What is wrong with it?

I just clicked the link, which was only showing the top line, and it took me to the CC home page. My own widget lists my recent articles and you click an article to go it as showcased here. So there is definitely something wrong.

I think it's a browser issue. The widget shows up correctly in IE8 but only shows the top line in Firefox, at least for me. Perhaps it's a HTML error?

[TammiKibler]

Yes, it does appear to be a Firefox issue. Thanks for finding that Debbi.

Hi Tammi,

Looks like a problem with the code being case sensitive. Can you try changing the part that says "ccview" to "ccView" with a capital V?

Let me know if that fixes the problem!
Thanks!

Hi,

I was having trouble making the change stick. Every time I hit SAVE it converted back to ccview. Then I made the change to ccView, hit rich text, went back to Edit HTML and somehow all the single quotes had been changed to double quotes ( ' was now " ) and that seemed to allow the capital V to stick. Here is the code that works for me (except I Xed out my author code.):

<div id="cctank" style="width: 200px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background: url("http://www.constant-content.com/images/ ... header.png") repeat-x scroll left top rgb(0, 103, 162);">
<div id="ccView"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.constant-content.com/library ... ript></div>
<div id="ccfoot" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(0, 103, 162); padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.constant-content.com/" alt="original articles. constant-content" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; padding: 0px;"><img src="http://www.constant-content.com/images/ ... ticles.png" alt="Buy Articles at Constant-Content" style="border: medium none; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px;" />Original Articles. Constant-Content.</a></div>
</div>



Thanks for your help with this.

Hooray!!! Got it now.Thanks Tammi - I copied and pasted your revised code and then put in my ID. It works. Fab! I had the same problem as you with the capital V reverting back to lower case every time I saved.

Thanks very much all - including Constant
