Digg widget editting

[jahphill]

Hi hi hi!


I would like help editing the js script for the digg widget.


Here is the script:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
digg_id = 'digg-widget-container'; //make this id unique for each widget you put on a single page.
digg_height = '500px';
digg_title = 'Top 10 list from Entertainment';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/widgetjs"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/services?type=javascript&callback=diggwb&endPoint=/stories/container/entertainment/top&count=10"></script>

I need it to display multiple categories. I have played around via trial and error with no success.

Basically i found out that

Code: Select all

/stories/container/entertainment/

this part changes when you select a dig category e.g. to /sports/ etc.

I think it would be very straight forward, but as i don't know much js, i ask for help =D!

Thank you in advance !!!!!!!!!!!

It appears that you can just post the same code repeatedly adding a different digg_id and changing the catgory path for each one.

Hey Rakuli!

But that creates separate widgets. I am trying to make the widget search multiple categories on the same widget displaying the top 10.

Here would be an example of a widget that displays e.g. sports and science:

1. crazy scientist kills himself
2. beckham turns gay
3. lesbian worms found
4. modified crazy humans with tv's as a head
5. the dolphins win the cup
6. Chelsy players are found with dildo's
.. .. etc..

=D

The script is actually linked to digg.com and is coming off their server so I don't think you'd be able to change the functionality.

You may be able to retrieve 2 widgets and hide them, then use javascript to pull the content from them into a widget of your own..

I would need to see what the script /tools/widget.js is doing to say for sure but I think it would have to be digg.com that gives you this functionality as part of one script.

That makes sense =]

I thought that i could just do something list this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/services?type=javascript&callback=diggwb&endPoint=/stories/container/entertainment/ AND ..../container/sports/ AND ..../container/science/ ...top&count=10"></script>

thats what i was playing around with, but no success.


Could you give me the 'term' for pulling content from other pages via javascript. Im guessing it's like an i-frame... just different :P :S

[Rakuli]

The term? Including or Ajax depending on what's happening.. on the page.

Could you show me an example script that pulls text/code lines from a different page to
a page
