Yesterday I published a little HowTo article providing a start-up widget for Magetno. As a follow up to that article, here is a practical widget you can use on your Magento 1.4 powered store.
Here are few screenshots of the widgets frontend and backend look and feel.
Download [ ActiveCodeline_WidgetMiniFeedReader ].
Hope you find it useful both for usage and for learning material.
Cheers.






Wow – this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Will this only work in Magento 1.4?
I can’t wait for that to be released as it looks like there are several long needed improvements!
Thanks again for the great widget and information in general.
The file is corrupt buddy!
Btw thanks for the great articles covering magento.
Although I’ve managed to download the code from activecodeline.com there’s no luck for me in version 1.4.0.1 – I’ve checked the “disable modules output” and the 2 modules are (appearently) “Active”… but no active codeline widget is available
Works perfect, thx…
Try:
wget http://inchoo.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ActiveCodeline_WidgetMiniFeedReader.tar.gz
gunzip ActiveCodeline_WidgetMiniFeedReader.tar.gz
tar xvf ActiveCodeline_WidgetMiniFeedReader.tar
Hope that helps!
