Netvibes_UWA_Emulator  
How to embed a Netvibes UWA Widget.

Introduction

Once in a while you will stumble other Netvibes (www.netvibes.com). The real cool place for all Widgets. But it seems that it is not so easy to have that widgets run in your own server space (where you probably want them to run) . So let's try to plug it in.

Details

2112PowerWindows provides (from 1.4 Version) an emulator that can run Netvibes Widgets 'IN PLACE' on your own server without using proxy code from Netvibes.

First of all include the Netvibes Widget Emulator into your boot sequence(the boot.js.cfg file).

{"Name": "2112UWA", "Pos":"99" , "Title": "UWA Adapter", "URL": "/2112PowerWindows/widgetBase/intrinsics/adapters/uwa/uwa.js"},

This is a really early stage of development so don't be disappointed when just your favorite Widget won't be able to run on 2112PowerWindows.

To plug it in do the following steps:

  1. Get to the source.
  2. Try to use the Nevibes Widget search(eco.netvibes.com) to locate the Widget. You will get to a preview of the Widget. On some Widgets you will then find a link there that is named 'source'. This could be the first step to success.
  3. View the source and save it to a location of your choice (where a URL can be pointed at - like 2112PowerWindows/widgetBase/YOURWIDGETDIRECTORY/uwa_lastfmplayer.htm).
  4. Use 2112PowerWindows to load the Widget into a page's area:
NS2112.masterControl.requestWidget('/2112PowerWindows/widgetBase/YOURWIDGETDIRECTORY/uwa_lastfmplayer.htm', 'UWA', 400, 250, 'UWA') ;

If you are lucky then you are lucky and the Widget is showing up. Otherwise don't be disappointed - contact us, showing the source - we are always working to improve and host more widgets.

Yours
