The Samsarin PHP Widget will allow you to use inline php in it’s widget. I’ve tried it out and I was able to display the DealDotCom item in my blog’s sidebar. Here’s the url to the PHP Widget:

Hi again netwise,

Well the Exec-PHP plugin does not get the dealdotcom plugin to work in a text widget :~{

However, I did a quick and dirty modification to the plugin itself that has it working as a widget on one of my blogs (http://emarketing-success.com/home/).

I’ve submitted my changes to the plugin author at the BlueFur.com website so he may include them in a new version at some point.

But if he doesn’t get the plugin widgetized quickly enough for you, just contact me here: http://EZExpertWebTools.com/members/contact.php and I’ll send you my modified version.

Just remember, I’ve only tested on my own blog. I have no idea if it will work generally.

Hi netwise,

You could try using the Exec-PHP plugin from http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/ to be able to run PHP code in your text widget.

I’m only just about to try installing this (dealdotcom) plugin now myself.

Great Plugin .. I also can not submit a comment to the blufur site.

So Ill plop it here .. maybe someone will have some ideas..

Great Plugin,

However those of us using widgets to create custom side bars are somewhat left out.

How about some code that could be placed in a text widget to call the dealdotcom function? HTML works great in a text plugin, but i tried tge php that gets added to the sidepar and it dont work. even wraped in html.

Im not a programmer so Im clueless on how to make it work in a widget
But maybe someone out there has the brain power

I like the plugin - I just installed version 0.4 - seems to work fine. I noticed it did not come with any instructions with the download and I read several people were having difficulties so I took the liberty of posting instructions to get this working at

I tried posting to your blog, but there are only 2 fields available for me to enter information and it requires three. I keep getting an error saying I need to enter my name and email. The text says name, email and URL, but there are only two fields available. Maybe it’s a Firefox thing, but I can’t submit on your blog.

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Version 0.4 has been uploaded now to address the image width size.

As it appears there are different variables to iron out we are making tweaks to the plugin to work with all of them.

@dealdot - if you have suggestions or issues just post them to the blog. I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself
