Hey
i been looking at making a vista gadget for webmaster talk.
this is mainly because frankly it would be handy for me but im comming up against a problem, and i dont this i could do it without some input from the admins
now i could easily do the scripting in PHP if it was my own site but obviously it isnt.
ok im planning to have a script on my server which i will simply eithe have in a iframe or include it in my gadet, but my problem is with the logging in and autg of WMT.
could i run a check so if logged in it runs
part of the script which would
basically load the usercp.php
and strip it right down to just the new posts.
and then display them in the gadget.
and if they not logged in show login which would login be accepted by wmt, set the cookie, and then give the script access to the usercp.php
but i dont this this would work as i would like.
dont think i am advanced enough, to be able to do this kind of connection to anyother server.
But i think if the webmaster-talk admins would allow for the script which is processing the files on the webmaster-talk server i think it should all work fine because its just another page on wmt and would save a TON of hassel
Would Webmaster-Talk be interested in doing something like this, i think it would be really benifical for users, and frankly cool for a website to have a gadget where users can see the latest replies to their threads.
and then they can click and it opens in their browser.
i think alot of the playing with the usercp.php file can be done with.
ereg replace.
what do you think?
im working on it to see if i can do it
