Access FN feeds and Ovi site via iGoogle full canvas

wmseto | 24 October, 2008 10:42

iGoogle recently has launched a feature to allow gadgets to show in canvas view. I have tried a few canvas view enable gadgets and really like them. Then I remember a while back, using the sample Feeds/Tabs sample, I have modified it to read rss feeds from Forum Nokia and made a iGoogle gadget. And tonight, I have made a few modifications to enable canvas view. It looks quite okay. Quickly, I've written another one with iframe to access Ovi.com. Smile

 

 

Okay, so the URLs to add these two gadgets are:

Forum Nokia Feeds: http://camelot.net/stage/google/fn_feeds_tabs_ig_01.xml

MyOviGadget: http://camelot.net/stage/google/myovigadget_01.xml

Steps to add them to iGoogle

1) Login to iGoogle... (hum... if you don't know how to do this, you probably should move on... Tongue out)

2) Find "Add Stuff" link, it should be on the top right somewhere, click it.

3) Now at the left hand side, find "Add feed or gadget".

4) Copy and paste one of the xml link above to the dialog box, click "add".

5) That's it. Go back to your iGoogle home page and observer the Home and Canvas view.

Questions? Comments? Feel free to download the xml files and improve them yourself. If I have more time, I will look into what OpenSocial things I can do with these gadgets.

Bye Bye!

P.S. I have also experimented a similar FN feeds app on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=22623363472 Let's get social Smile

Been using iGoogle for quite a while now, and although your idea above sounds great, i don't really wish to lose all my settings, and themes i have already got exactly how I want them, took me an age!

@GSi-R what do you mean by loosing ur settings? Adding new gadgets shouldn't affect your settings. Do you mean adding an extra 'box" will ruin ur theme?
