Hi all – this weekend, we released some brand new Folia widgets !
There are currently two to choose from:
Folia Badge: Shows your profile pic and your current planting / stash counts.
Folia Latest Plantings: Shows your badge + your 5 most recent plantings.
For anyone using the old Clearspring widgets: the new widgets completely replace the old ones, so if you still have them installed you’ll see a message letting you know about the change and what to do. The reason why we have removed the old ones completely is that Clearspring recently sold up and have shut down support for their widget creation tool, so we cannot support them any longer. It was a good motivation to start looking into developing our own – we think they look much better than the old ones, and we’ll be able to develop them much further in the future.
The installation steps are now a whole lot easier too (so no more weird multi-step help pages for our widgets – yay!):
- Go to the widgets page
- Copy the code under the “To install this widget” heading (it should already be personalised to your gardener name)
- Paste this code into your html editor tool of choice.
The way we have developed these widgets means that if you know a bit of css, you can customise your widget in anyway you want – you can override the styles on your own page, or you could download the js file, host it yourself and switch the stylesheet reference over. We’re cool with whatever you’d like to do with these widgets – and we’d love to see what you come up with!
