Nice, but not that original. ;p

Buttons don't work on Windows Live Space either. Assume it is the same problem as MySpace. http://coloradodiamondgirl.spaces.live.com/?lc=1033

I added a url link back to my portfolio and that works.

I like it a lot. Got it to work on one of my sites. Haven't got it to work on e mail yet. Nice how you can add your own widget and a selection of favorites, a random widget or a customised widget geared toward key words. Much potential for sites with a specific focus to offer prints of interest to their viewers.

Thanks.

There are some sites that block Flash links, and it looks like MySpace and Live.com currently do this. There may never be a way around it, but our developers are working to see if there is a way our programming can override their website settings, but it may be something that only these websites can control.

I am repeating this

I posted a URL in myspace with the widget with comment If buttons dont work please use this link.

Once the code is available AW wont be able to control individual galleries because a person can replace the user ID and access anyone.

This seems to be an either or situation for AW and they can only narrow the window by removing the promote link from some users not close it.

The only way I can see to close the window is to take the code off their server disabling ALL code already posted.

Dosnt mean they wont OUTTHINK me.

But in truth the code code be copied from any site is is posted on and proliferated from there.

Only disabling the code on the server can STOP any possibility.

AW does warn you about the nature of the internet in their agreement on posting images. They didnt specifically put AW on the list which they probably should.

But I belive this caution is sufficient to define what AW believes is their responsibilities as a custodian, that is they tell you they cannot exercize full custodial control of images on their site.

Digital Artwork Understanding

By posting your artwork on the Internet, you acknowledge that by doing so, allows anyone to download, print, screen-capture and digitally edit your image. This also allows websites such as 'Google Image Search' to take the artwork from this site and add it to their image search functions without credit to the artist. If this concerns you, then you should not post your artwork anywhere on the Internet or you can place a large visible watermark/copyright sign on all your artwork. This will discourage cyber thieves from stealing your artwork.

ArtWanted is special becose of its special features,it provides many more security and authenticity to artists.The simple thing to do is use your 'private gallery' feature.Every work you want to make private/limited vew,just put it in 'private gallery'.Even if you don't want any image to show at wdgt/feed,just don't left any outside.I don't think they are providing data from any member's private gallery.

i think this is very cool and its nice to know AW is working so hard to promote us all...however i cant get this widget to work in email. i sent it to myself as a test and i see it but when i check the sent folder from the addressi send from its not there. and when i send it to other people its missing also... so why do i see it in the other mailbox i sent it to?? strange... hopefully it can be fixed. :) ..ohh would be nice to if it had a pause action when you rest your mouse cencor on it. i have a slideshow simular on my website http://www.smkgraphicstudio.com/welcome.htm and you can pause that, so i figure its possible to do.

susan :)

WIDGET is not working in email for me...

Cassie Norwood 04 Sep 2007

Thanks for the feedback.

I think this is so awesome but I can't use it anywhere :(

NOTE: We have updated our 'member preferences' page to allow our users to 'turn off' the Widget option on their portfolios if they desire.

I've added my widget on my website too, but the buttons don't work... :( it looks great though.

Charles Oliver 05 Sep 2007

I've added it on one of my sites and it works fine. It was just as an experiment really. I don't plan to keep it because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the site. I tried to alter the code so it would be 800x500 in size instead of 400x250 but it only displays in the smaller size because it is originating out of AW's servers. It's at http://charlesoliverart.com/widget if you want to give it a look.

The AW flash galleries should work on myspace. Myartspace.com galleries are flash and they work on myspace profile edits, bulletin posts, comments,and blogs.

The only problem you should face is forum/group posts. Myspace forum/group entries do not take well to flash. There is a way around it, but you have to change the html code and it can be a bugger to do that each and everytime you go to post. I can't remember how to do it either.

My question for Artwanted is this: Did you create the AW widget from open source code? If so, my only concern is the fact that widgets in general are easy to hack. Since the code is directly linked to our accounts, that means someone could hack our account, correct?

Now, if you have came up with your own code like other art sites have done... things should be safe, or at least safer. If not, using open source code to create the widget might leave a lot of people at risk. However, people need to keep in mind that anything you put online is not safe-proof. There is always someone out there messing with something.

So should we use the AW Widget at our own risk? Do you have a disclaimer about this?

Here is the issue with MySpace, Live.com and a few other sites...

When you copy and paste the code we provide you into their site and save it, MySpace alters the widget HTML code to disable all external links to our site. If you view the source of the MySpace code for the Widget, it's changed from the original code that you uploaded. From what we have seen, they are doing this to most of the Flash code that is copy and pasted into their site, but perhaps not all. We have seen other 'widgets' from other companies on MySpace and Live.com, that the links are also disabled, just like the ArtWanted.com Widget.

Our developers are working on code tests that MySpace will accept and not alter when it's copy and pasted into their site.

The code for the Widget is built 100% by our staff.
