Jotform & Wafoo forms plus Video switching in the template
Hi saw your extension and was thinking of trying it. Currently I'm using widgets, but for the reasons you mentioned I may be switching. Was wondering if you thought it was possible to create a widget for embedding jotforms & Wafoo forms into a wiki page. Would like to be able to offer end users the ability to embed these forms. Additionally right now I use templates to switch on the quick from embedded video to another embedded video service. Example in the template: using some thing like this I'm able to offer the end user of the template the ability to just name the video service as source  and then easily switch from Vimeo to YouTube, etc. Is that possible with this extension? Thanks -- Chris Tharp (the site's acting strange - I was signed in but now it says I'm not)


 * Any code (as long as it's HTML based) can be integrated. I don't know jotforms & wafoo, but I don't see why not.
 * Yes, it is possible to mix templates. I just made sure for you : See the page I built for you. Enjoy ;-)
 * Btw, we now have a wizard in the editor for easier integration. See the demo video.

So I'm switching from widgets to Widget Framework
Hi So I'm switching from widgets to widgetframework. I'm currently having some more widgets coded, which I'll be happy to send you the code for when they're finished. One of those widgets is the ever popular Disqus comments, which allows for adding comments at the bottom of a page.Should I send it to you via email? And what email should I send it to?

Additionally, I was wondering if I could get the code for the skype widget, which you have on your site, but is not part of the download for the extension. Thanks--Christharp (talk) 17:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That's great news! Hope you'll find the framework easy and flexible. Remember to keep in touch if you need anything. Disqus is indeed a good addition...
 * To push the code, email is fine, you could also directly commit it on Github, as you wish.
 * We'll repackage the framework to include the latest widgets ASAP.

 * The widget for Disqus is done. We're testing it now. I expect to be emailing it to you within a few hours.--Christharp (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

The Disqus comment widget has been emailed to you.Please confirm you received it when you can. Hopefully will have a Google Docs widget in another day or so, at which time I'll email that to you also. --Christharp (talk) 14:28, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Received, proofread, tested, improved (default url to current page), pushed and archived ! All done. Thanks a lot for contributing. How was the coding ? --ClementD (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

More widgets
Hi, just emailed you two more widgets from the Yellpedia.com team: Google Doc and Google Viewer. Hopefully we'll get more people involved in making widgets soon. --Christharp (talk) 18:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Done ! Code is in the repo ! Thanks for contributing. Like you, I hope this will grow... --ClementD (talk) 16:12, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Need browser/OS detection
In my widget code, can I detect the OS/browser?

My widget displays: - To desktop users: a map in an IFrame - To mobile users: a link to a full-screen map

So I need to detect whether a user is on mobile or not. Can I detect this with WidgetsFramework? If it is not possible yet, would you consider adding this feature?

Reason I need this: Some mobile platforms don't support the  HTML element well; and for small screens it makes more sense to show the content full-screen anyway. Thanks a lot! Nicolas1981 (talk) 07:33, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
