We still need the ability to have HTML widgets on our websites so that we can link our newsletter sign-up to our newsletter program.

Is there a time frame for the completion of this feature?

Hi,

Correction:

Body text content... not box text.

Hi Walt, Joe,

When will Moonfruit release a wiget with the ability to add RSS to our own News pages, so others could subscbribe to our own feeds and add them to their sites, or bookmark them, etc.

Being able to transmit any box text to via outward bound RRS News Feed would be great, the option of keeping those interested in updates, without the need for them to visit the main site everytime, etc.

All the best...

This is very good news and I will have my eyes peeled on other users pushing the limits of this thing. Off topic...does anyone know of a decent moonfruit site using the sitepal widget?

Please work overtime on this feature. We desperately need to be able to anchor a subscription sign up box on every page through the page master which will link to programs like Constant Contact, etc.

This is critical for business users.

Thank you.

Hi Ian,

This mostly depends on 2 things. Firstly the penetration rate of Flash Player 10, and secondly, Firefox fixing a bug in the way the browser works with wmode (required for HTML layering). It is fixed in FF 3.2 alpha, but that won't go on general release for some time.

So unfortunately it's out of our control, but we are looking to see if there are any clever tricks we can employ to work around some of these issues. We'll let you know if we find something acceptable. Thanks,

Joe

@Answerish - it's not that simple. French keyboards, for example, have azerty rather than qwerty on the top line. Each time you press the key labelled 'a', you get a 'q'.

@Marcus911 - The page settings/View HTML version (or View->HTML version in the advanced toolbar) should show the HTML version of your site, along with a button at the top right to return to the flash view. If this is not working for you, please let us know what browser you are using. You can alternatively disable the flash plugin in your browser if you want to see the HTML version.

Your news is promising. I will explore this. I am thrilled to hear that I may be able to finally add affiliate links. More and more people want websites for busness/commerce. I congratulate you guys! Thank you very much! Janet in San Diego.

Make a keyListener object in the root level(or anywhere you need it) of ur SWF and onKeyDown check if SHIFT is pressed and toggle a variable to true. on KeyUp, toggle it back to false. And everytime u want to do a Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT), check ur variable instead...and give us HTML Widget

Good job , happy to hear results as of yet.

Was trying to view the HTML version of my web page however when I try to do this via the page settings button, it just returns me to my site. Does anyone know how I can view and add a link to my site?
Many Thanks, Mark

I think your website maker is fantastic. From being a complete novice, I have made several sites now - including an interactive children's site called www.primaryschoolpoems.com I am now a writer ( previously a consultant psychiatrist) and have a book coming out in a few weeks. I use the website to advertise and sell my poetry books for children and I read poems using your audio facility.I want to be able to put small videos of me reading the poems etc( which I think is possible) and also e-books eventually- which I do not know as yet if that will be possible- when I have made the e-books. But, I am learning! Thank you very much for such a logical and straightforward process! I get stuck sometimes, but on the whole, it is brilliant. I don't really understand your latest news but I'm sure ,one day, I will! Best wishes, Audrey Coatesworth

Thanks Mikey, comments appreciated.

Ben, the guys are busy on Membership at present. This is an essential platform to the e-Commerce tools so once we have completed this upgrade, it's e-Commerce, here we come!

Hi Lucy, just follow the link provided and have a play is all I can suggest. It is a development site, it has known bugs, and it won't work for all HTML snippets. But some basic instructions are provided.

We will at some point look at the comments being generated by our visitors and take a view on what next. But for the moment we are focussed on delivering Membership but please keep playing with it and giving us your feedback.

Thanks - Walt

Can I suggest you leave the tech team alone for a week to work on the ecommerce tools, then we might get somewhere. Clearly management hovering over them is hampering the long awaited and delayed ecommerce tools.

FREE the tech team from the management tyranny!!!!!!!!!

Joe,

This is amazing news. I have been a Moonfruit user for quite some time and this fix is long overdue. Make sure they all get a nice bonus for this development!

Hi John,

There is no cost to upgrading to the Flash 10 player. Flash development software costs money, but not the player. You can get it free at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Already 55% of browsers have FP10, and it grew by 8% last month, so it is getting out there.

I hope that helps,

Joe

John — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:16:40 +0000

Just wondering whether this is actually worth using at the moment. To use this widget, you have to have installed Flash Player 10 which is available at a price!

Also by converting stuff like this, your going to alienate users of Flash Player 9 who will not bother to pay for the upgrade.

I think its great Moonfruit are thinking out of the box on this, but at what price. At the end of the day its not what looks good on your screen, but what looks good and works on your visitors screen thats more important.

Still think its a step in the right direction though!
Keep up the good work guys......

John

Hi Damian,

We used the Flash embed option. You may have to experiment with the different options for different widgets, but this one worked with the Flash embed code. Thanks,

Joe

Damian — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:13:57 +0000

Fantastic news all round. Quick question though, when using Widgetbox, did you use the Javascript or Flash embed code with the widget?

This is great. I have been involved with MoonFruit for years and my world would improve massively with HTML. I am just about to launch www.listenlocal.co.uk to add to my local community stuff and this improvement couldn't come quick enough. I can say though, this software is magnificent already!

I LOVE YOU JOE (please excuse the over enthusiasm) This is fantastic news and although there is still work to be done, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Moonfruit is simply the best, please don't give in!

Hi Alan,

Yes, at the moment FF can't render the widget in place over your Flash site, so we display it as a broken link with a hyperlink down to the bottom of the page where the widget is rendered in the HTML. We know that this isn't an ideal long term solution, but it allows the content to be displayed to all users, albeit not in the ideal place. Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,
Downloaded the Beta widget, enabled me to put my You Tube Player on my Site, which is something I've wanted to do for ages, Looks ok in IE but on Firefox it still shows but underneath the set page length.[ Seee www.leedssocialclubs/youtubelinkstovideos ] Hope you continue to work on this as it looks extremely promising.
By the way send the Managers away for a month, and moonfruit might become totally awesome [lol]

Hi Justin,

Yes you have to experiment with the different embed codes to see which works. Often those HTML tags that load external JS files do not work, so if you have a choice of different embed codes from the provider, it's worth trying them out to see which one(s) work.

We're not likely to get to full HTML editing, so hold it right there!! But we thought this might be a way of increasing the general compatibility of SiteMaker sites (when the browser bugs are resolved).

Thanks,

Joe

This is quite a revolution – congrats to the mischievous development team. With the ability to create your own widgets as well as using the vast array already out there, it makes this development very significant for Moonfruit.

It’s worth pointing out that you do need to embed the Flash Version of the code. I started off using Javascript for my first few attempts and wondered why it was not working – doh.

Congrats again
Justin

PS. Now we know anything is possible, the requests are going to get stronger for full HTML editing options. Hope you know what you've started!
