Circuit Badges & Widgets

[The Geargrinders]

These don't seem to work on Myspace. At least not on our page. Just an FYI...

[Bill Streeter]

Thats strange they seem to work for me. Make sure you're copying the code exactly.

[The Geargrinders]

Yep, copied it exactly. Tried it several times and with each different badge. Pasted it in the bio section. Shows up blank! Look for yourself... the big blank area in our bio section is where it's supposed to be, but it's not. www.myspace.com/thegeargrinders

Bill, how did you set these up, anyway? I can't get them to work on the GaragePunk Hideout...

[Bill Streeter]

I didn't set them up, Ning set them up. I had no problem adding them anywhere. I'll have to see what the trouble is when I get home from work.

How did you get Ning to set them up? Cuz they're not setup for The Hideout (all the code is broken). I don't even see where in the management area where you found them!

By the way, I got my Circuit badge to show up on my Myspace page, but it doesn't link anywhere. Click on it and nothing happens. Looks nice, though! :\

The Ning WIdgets don't seem to work on Myspace. I placed two of them on my Myspace page and neither one worked.

I put the plain black "blah blah blah" badge on both MySpace and my web page. In both locations, it's visible. The badge image is not a working link, but a text link appears below the badge which works correctly?

[Bill Streeter]

I reported the bug, I should hear back from someone today about it. I tested my widget on myspace and it didn't work either (showed up but links don't work). It's also possible that Myspace itself is breaking it on purpose.

[kopper]

Weird. I noticed that anytime you post a link on Myspace now that it gets replaced with a Myspace "msplinks.com" URL... did you see that? I wonder if something with that is breaking the flash code for these badges.

But it's especially strange that the one on The Geargrinders' page is showing up completely blank...

Let's face it, Myspace is (and always has been) fucked up.

[Bill Streeter]

Interesting. Probably an anti-spam effort. And yes Myspace is completely fucked.

yep, but ditto on wordpress issues. then again, every widget has wordpress issues.

What widget are you having a problem with in Wordpress?
