Vista Sidebar Gadget

[pieteckhart]

I do not know how to convert it. It would be very sweet though.

it might be a bit hard becouse its coded for internet explorer.
if you look at a tutorial on how to make google gadgets you might find a way to adapt it.

tell me if you got it, maybe i can support it.

Well I do not know how, I have been googling and there are ways to do it from google to vista but not vice versa. So my dream will stop

Whats the way it works btw? Does it show a webpage or what? How do you get the variables. Maybe I code something myself, google desktop is not that hard I think to code.

[pieteckhart]

gadgets are all wen (html/css/javascript/etc)

it gets complicated if you need to look at config files that each gadget/widget provider uses.
vista usese gadget.xml i think google will use another file.

i think it could be converted but i have no time to look in to this.

if anyone can show me i would gladly support other platforms.

Can you tell me where you get sabnzbd's info from? like queue info, ETA. Where is that kinda info stored?

NVM: It is  easy, because you have a designer app from google and using javascript. But I suck at it.

i used the API
you can look inside my .js files how i get them.

Im not a coder, im a designer.

What API? Could you give a look at the google designer? Its not that hard for something who is good at coding.

this page shows how a basic google desktop gadget is made.
ill look into it when i got time for it.

It looks a bit the same as for vista sidebar gadgets.

you could try this tutorial and copy the files over from my gadget and see if it works.
(rename the .gadget file to .zip in order to extract my files)

i have done some reading and i figured out that google uses XML instaid of HTML to represent their data. (kind of strange if you ask me) this makes converting a bit harder.

i still think it should be possible.
but its a bit out of my focus for now.

but i would glady support anyone who wants to try convert it or write there own.

Just like to say I've been using this for a while and I think it's great. If I have one criticism though it's that the UI is slightly wider than all my other widgets. If it could be made the 'standard' widget/sidebar width this would be perfect

i have been resizing the gadget for a few times now maybe my other gadgets have wrong sizes because i don't know what the correct size is.
when i resize the gadget to be a bit less wider i am considering pair of dimes' suggestion of putting the job names over the progress bar in order to make sure long names will fit.

I'm a bit busy with school and stuff so the next release can take a while.

Hi.
Very nice litte thingy ;-)
Unfortunately it didn't worked for me. My sabnzbd is running on a NAS (Synology DS207+). Its address is "192.168.1.11:8080/sabnzbd". If I insert the IP into the settings page it is converted to "192168111" (without dots) and the gadget always displays "Please Configure".
Any help would be appreciated.

greetings,

Stefan

Can I ask how this was gotten around, as I have the same issue?

I have a DNS entry for my NAS, but can't figure out how to get the /sabnzbd part into the system.  Doing a check on just the device name/port doesn't seem to work

Thanks
