YoWindow in Joomla

[Dampra]

Pasha suggested to contact you:
Please ask him on the forum how did he manage to make it work.
He will be happy to answer to you and everybody else who will stuck with this problem later.
My question:
How to proceed to run YoWindows in a user1, 2 or 3 (Beez template) like configuration at 200x150 pixels?
Hi,
Nice gadget your Yowindow! I am trying to run the free version on the frontpage of my Joomla driven website. Tried various options like copying your script in to a new HTML module or running the script using the Jumi plugin. Unfortunately all I get is either a display of the full script or nothing at all. Looked at your website and forum but didn't find any suggestions.
I am sure you know how to get this going: would you be so kind to point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot
Thieu

Hi Thieu

You can use an article.

In the editor is a button html.
This opens a window.
Place the following code :

<p style="text-align: left;">
<object width="200" height="150" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="data" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=gn:2750325&landscape=http://www.hermanz.nl/nieuwegein2.ywl&t ... _bar=false" />
<param name="src" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" />
</object>
</p>


In this code you can change your ws code ,landscape and other parameters.

If you install Jumi, You can use the same code.
If there are more questions let me know
What is the name of your website.

Hi Thieu,
I'm using also Joomla 1.5 for my website and its very easy to add the widget.
Here is my html:

<object width="650" height="400" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=2510799&current_weather_url=http://test.toernover.com/yowindow.xml& ... name=Finca S'Estepar&time_format=24&unit_system=metric&lang=de&background=#FFFFFF" />
<param name="src" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" />
</object>

You have only to personalize the size and the landscape you want.

Do you know that you have to install a crossdomain.xml on the main root of your website? Without this crossdomain nothing will run :!:
Here is the tutorial:

If you have problems furthermore pls ask

Hi Herman/Mallorca
Thanks for your suggestions. I trust this will work for an article on a page.
What I am trying to accomplish is to dock the widget in one of the three 200x150 Px window in the right column of my website www.beop1.nl. At this moment these areas contain pictures. I'll be glad to hear whether that would be possible or not.

Hi Thieu,
it must be work in the same way, we described before. You have to replace the html from the pic into the Yowindow html, as we sent above.

Thanks once again!
I am sure you know by now that I am not into programming languages!
I pasted the html Herman provided into a custom module that allows to enter HTML.
So on the front page I get to see the HTML text (cannot copy this into this messsage).
More suggestions as to what I do wrong
Note: I will soon turn off the module, it confuses visitors!

Hi Thieu

You are on the right way

Go to "module manager"
choose "new" and "custom HTML"

Fill in Title : ???
Posistion : right

By custom Output choose HTML.

Thanks Herman,
I now figured out what I did wrong: I pasted the html in the editing space, but you need to open HTML edit first, past it in there, now it works!
Next challenge is getting a background from Alanya and of course get the weather data from there.

Hi Thieu

Yo have to change the id
location_id=gn:324190

This code gives the weather of your holiday house.
For the background picture you can read items in the forum how to handle
