Just changed over to Vista and was wondering if there was a way to display the data in the stat scripts (under tools) on the sidebar of the Vista desktop. Thanks. Bob

Distance totals, personal records or latest runs. It's selectable under the settings for the gadget. You can email me and I'll try to get you a copy. joe@ostrander.com

OK, here's version 1.0... Hope it works for you. If not, let me know. The default refresh time is set to 2 hours, but you can change it and the gadget mode in the settings. LINK: RunningAhead.com Stats Vista Gadget Tech info: I may modify it to use AJAX to get the info later... for now it pulls it from the flyout.html. Joe

Joe it looks great. I just can't figure out how to get my data in the gadget. Sorry, technology-challenged here. Embarrassed

Sorry all... I forgot that I was going to change 1 more thing... basically gadget is set to MY data. Here's how to change it: Find the flyout.html file in the following path: C: \Users\_YOUR_NAME_\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\runstats.Gadget\ Edit the file using Notepad.exe Find the links and set them to your links: Example: These links go to my data: http://www.runningahead.com/scripts/cbd200d112d54d6a970e983583ae5ecf/latest http://www.runningahead.com/scripts/cbd200d112d54d6a970e983583ae5ecf/totals http://www.runningahead.com/scripts/cbd200d112d54d6a970e983583ae5ecf/records cbd200d112d54d6a970e983583ae5ecf reflects me. If you click Tools on the runningahead site and then Scripts for your site, you'll see the URLs that need to be changed. I'll modify the gadget tomorrow so that it is much easier than this Smile

... sorry and thanks for testing. I'll put the link back online after I fix it.

Joe, I like it even better with my data in it. Big grin

Seems to work great so far. Once it was blank and I'll click on it and it updated. Might happen after my computer "sleeps". Thank you for creating and sharing this gadget, it'll get used all the time on this computer. Bob

I updated the heck out of it today. Nothing too visual, but the coding is much more to my liking and it's more user friendly...especially since it's not hard-coded for 1 user! It's currently "Pending Approval" on the gadget site. I'll keep checking to see when it's approved...
