making my widgets configurable
Hi there
I have created some new widgets but they have been rejected for the following reasons
Please make this widget configurable from within Widgetbox. Users should be able to subscribe to the widget and customize it while on Widgetbox. If this is not an option, you may consider using our Viral Installer product to distribute the widget from your own domain
How do i resolve this, as my previous widgets I created in the same way and you could alter their size, but my new widgets, when I go to alter the size, it just alters the size of the canvas behind my widget and not the widget or widget code itself
There must be a way to resolve this anyone know how ?

Inappropriate?Hey there,
If you post a link to one of the widgets (e.g. http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/...) I can take a look for you.

Inappropriate?Hey Woc,
So you can use the sizing variables on our site to pass them into your code, but whatever you have running will need to be built to accept those.
If you're using an HTML/JS widget, here's some info: http://docs.widgetbox.com/developers/...
The main rejection for this is that the chat room needs to be configurable to support multiple rooms for submission to the gallery. This is due to some existing widgets that have caused repeated user complaints about lack of configuration.
If you can't do this, you can still use your widget! You simply cannot list it in our gallery, which shouldn't affect you if you're just hoping to use this widget for your own site(s).

Inappropriate?Hi there
None of that makes sense to a simple user like me in my code I have 2 variables controlling the size and width
init_width="202";
init_height="318";
Is there a i can use this information on my widget to so that when someone alters the size and width on my widget page, it alters the actual widget rather than the canvas ?

Inappropriate?Hi there Woc,
Yes, the information is within that doc. This is the important part:
These are replacement tags that you can use in a HTML/JS widget:
${widget.height} The height of the widget, as configured by the person subscribing to it.
${widget.width} The width of the widget, as configured by the person subscribing to it.
${widget.location} The URL of the page the widget is being displayed on. For example, http://myblog.typepad.com/some-post. The page’s query string, if any, is not included.
HTML/JS widgets are on the more technical side, since you're writing your own HTML or Javascript and utilizing config params to modify these behaviors. If your level of comfort doesn't match up with that functionality, you may have better luck using existing widgets within the gallery.
Hope this helps!
