Blog on xMII and Yahoo Widgets

Hello People,
I recently wrote a blog about using xMII services in Yahoo widgets.
Link for the same : <a href="/people/abesh.bhattacharjee/blog/2006/12/19/harnessing-the-power-of-xmii-using-yahoo-widgets">Harnessing the power of xMII using Yahoo Widgets</a>

My Yahoo widgets are "faded" on my desktop. Sometimes they move & sometimes they do not when I use Expose. Depending on the fadeness? I have no clue.
I would suggest (since Yahoo! Widgets are not an Apple product) that you post over in the Yahoo! Widgets Forums
*Another suggestion:* Suggest that you update to OS 10.4.11 as your current version showing in your system info is outdated.

Type Error: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor. Only get error in Firefox, and started this morning.

There was an automatic Windows update this morning. Since then, I get the error message "TypeError: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor" when I open up certain websites, such as ancestry.com. Other sites, such as Facebook, don't work at all. Everything appears scrambled when I open the website. Other sites appear to not be affected, although I haven't done more than open them up. These errors are only occurring with Firefox, and not with IE. IE still works just fine.

Sounds like a problem with an Yahoo extension (toolbar)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Yahoo Widgets Not Functioning

Several months ago Yahoo Widgets malfunctioned on my Macbook Pro. When I activate it, the "gears" icon in the Desktop menu bar appears for a brief moment or two, then disappears. The app does not appear to be running as no widgets are visible nor does the widget dock open. Clicking directly on a widget does nothing. I've tried to get Yahoo to look into this but their advice is to dump the pref files. Duh. I tried that and nothing changed. I've also deleted and re-installed both the app and the most recent Java update with no result. Could this be a result of a recent java upgrade? It appears as though Mac's widget engine has also had some recent failure– could the two be caused by the same problem? Advice, please!

apparently, they have added encryption to all their services, including messenger. I have also heard on another forum that they are no longer updating the program for macs and are recommending people use ichat....however, the older ichats don't support yahoo, only the newer OS does. Adium and Trillium also fail to log into yahoo chat as well.

thnak you

requestDispatcher.forward() should be used in servlets and jsp:forward should be used in JSPs. The functionality is the same.

Has anyone yet found a workable replacement for the Yahoo Widgets for iCal?

I was extremely happy using Konfabulator/Yahoo Widgets iCal Events widget, leaving it on my desktop so I could see my daily calendar and To-Do's without visiting any apps. But since Leopard, it doesn't work, and I've yet to find a workable alternative. Has anyone found an adequate replacement?
I don't like the Apple Dashboard widget, as I want it permanently affixed to the Desktop, underneath all other windows. The YW solution was perfect, and it's bizarre that no-one else seems to have replicated it - or even Apple themselves?

Here is how to put Mac widgets on your desktop: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6292560&#6292560
And here is a iCal widget: http://benkazez.com/icalevents.php
It doesn't put your to-do list on there, so there is this widget: http://www.bluehenley.com/products/dobedo/
Hope this is more of what you wanted.

Table component crashes Yahoo Widget Engine

Experts,
I've been diving into widgets recently, seem to have found a bug and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it or has found a solution. The steps to reproduce the error is as following:
- Generate a kitchen sink widget from eclipse.
- Run it.
- Open the Table component example in the menu, maybe even click a row.
- Right click the widget and close it.
- A crash report of yahoo widgets pops up.
This sometimes occures when using the sort button of the table and only occures when tables are used. I have tested this on an updated unclean and clean xp install of a Dell Latitude D830 and HP dv9064 pavilion. The main similarity is that both use an nVidia card.
The machines are using Java 1.6.0_13, Yahoo widget engine 4.5.2, eclipse 3.4.2, XP SP3 Pro and Mediacenter edition.
I'm assuming the problem lies with the code of Yahoo (widget framework) or Cairographics (gui framework) but was wondering nontheless whether I'm the only case of this issue.

Hi!
I think that problem exist because MS SQL 2008 SP2 is used with MS DMP 2010.
But I can't create backup DPM databases - solutions described in article submited by you doesn't work.
c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin>DpmBackup.exe -db -instanceName MSSQLSERVER -certificates
DpmBackup 1.0 - Data Protection Manager backup command-line tool
Copyright (c) 2010 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Error: Failed to connect to server BRONZYT\mssqlserver.
DpmBackup encountered an internal error. Check the Application Event Log for the
cause of the failure. Fix the cause and retry the operation. For additional tro
ubleshooting information, see the DPM Troubleshooting Guide.
Can I do DPM database backup in another way e.g. SQL Management Console before reinstalling MS SQL 2008 and DPM 2010?
I can't lose my DPM server data.

Yahoo Widgets Won't Run

Hello, I posted this in another group and have had no responses so I thought I'd try here.
I downloaded the Yahoo Engine and several Yahoo widgets onto my MacBook but they won't run. The Engine installs but none of the widgets appear.
I downloaded the same Engine and widgets on my Mac Pro and they run just fine.
Does anyone know why my MacBook would not run them while my Mac Pro does?
Thanks,
Lisa

Answered in another forum. Thanks.

Installed Leopard - Yahoo Widgets no longer work

After not being able to launch widgets once Leopard was installed, I uninstalled the Widget engine and widgets. Went to Yahoo site to download latest engine. Download shows as "happening". As soon as it's at 100%, it "disappears" (no desktop icon installer). What am I doing wrong?

Yahoo Widgets is not compatible with Leopard. The program runs, but none of the widgets will open.
Regarding your download, Apple changed the default location from the Desktop to the Downloads folder. You can change the preferences in Safari back to the Desktop. Once a download is complete, the Downloads folder in the Dock should change to show the file that was just downloaded. When you click on it, it opens the stack so you can access the newly downloaded file.

Date and Time widget?

Anyone know of a date and time widget? or a way to create on in Cp 5?

Hello,
Rod will not mind my popping in, because when someone talks about variables, advanced actions, mostly I try to help. It is not real coding, just a bit of logic and you do not have to type any code.
Once I blogged about using the Timer widget, possible that could help :
Timer Widget
And here is another article about showing Time
Displaying Time
If you are really a newbie with variables, long time ago I tried to explain their possibilities in two articles:
Use the power of variables
Unleash the power of variables with advanced actions

Email providers other than gmail and yahoo?

We are moving and will be loosing our Comcast.net account. Are there any other internet providers other than gmail and yahoo that are nation wide that I can use firefox and thunderbird with?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Microsoft operates Outlook.com, formerly Hotmail. It offers IMAP connectivity so you can mirror your mail into any number of mail programs: http://blogs.office.com/2013/09/12/outlook-com-now-has-imap/
There are, of course, dozens of companies around the globe that you could use as your free email service, but Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo probably are the "big 3" in this field.

My Yahoo widget for dashboard

The "My Yahoo" widget on my dashboard has stopped working. In the purple bar that used to show "my latest headlines" it now just stays on "now loading". Also, my new mail is not indicated. The "search" to yahoo works. Any advise? I did some searching and discovered the Yahoo Widget Engine, but understand that this runs on Konfabulator and not on Dashboard. I removed the My Yahoo widget/preferemces and downloaded it again from:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/myyahoo.html
It still does no work. Any information would be appreciated.

Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website?

Problem with JRE and Yahoo applets

Hi, I couldn't find any answer for this anywhere else...
Whenever I try to play a Yahoo game, certain windows will "shake". For example, if I log into yahoo, then go to play their spades game, the applet will load without any problem. The game room will appear and everything seems to be fine. But if I click on the Start Panel, the borders of the Start menu will "shake" If I right click on anything, that menu will also shake. This only occurs while JRE is running the yahoo applet. Once I leave the yahoo game, everything returns to normal. If I use IE and MSVM, this problem does not occur. This problem does not seem to occur with other instances of Java either. Only Yahoo games. I tried searching Yahoo for an answer to this, but didn't find anything. When I tried getting help from them, they replied with an email to update Java and/or my browsers. Well, I am using version 1.4.2_04 of java, and have IE6 updated as of today. Also, I am using Opera version 7.54 and Firefox 0.93. This problem with Java and Yahoo occurs no matter which browser I am using. The only way to keep this from happening seems to be to use IE with MSVM. Any ideas?

That page does apply. Everything that you have written indicates conclusively that the Yahoo game you're playing is the source of the problem. The fact that it works with the MS jvm but not with the Sun jvm, that the Sun jvm works with other Java applets, etc all say the same thing - that Yahoo applets wer/are coded to work with the MS jvm, which uses MS extensions in violation of the Sun/MS licensing agreements. The statement at the bottom of the page is proof positive - your spades game is not listed by Yahoo as being fixed.
"07/17/03 - From Yahoo! Customer Care:
We have deployed a fix for the incompatibilities with the Sun JVM� in the following games:
Chess Gin Cribbage Euchre Bridge
Hearts Toki Toki Boom Graffiti Pool
We plan to upgrade the rest of the games on an ongoing basis. "
The Yahoo applet is the problem and requires repair...

Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...
