hello, i am trying to create a widget that has 3 tabs across the top, each displaying a different news feed.. i am looking at the code for another tabbed widget, but not really sure where it is pulling the feed source.. the one we currently have on our site has a lot of background images, this one i just want to be all basic text and background colors.. could someone please point me in the right direction on how i can get this together.. thank you very much

Tabbed widget implementations are usually made up of master widgets and content widgets. Normally, there is one master widget that defines all of the presentation of the entire implementation, and two or more content widgets that define the feed or feeds associated with each tab. Your master widget will reference the content widgets by name. The content widgets are where you need to be if you want to change the RSS feeds being used.

If you post the URL to the page on your site where your current tabbed widget lives, I might be able to give you more specific details.

Could you point me in the way of a good example of a Tabbed Widget online?

I'm having trouble working out how it's put together

Hi,

You may find this Wiki article very helpful: http://developer.newsgator.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tabbed_Widget_Framework

A good example of a tabbed widget implementation is the Discovery News widgets, one of which can be found here: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/subjects/animals/animals.html

How do you group the Widgets in the Editors Desk?

Very simple, but not very intuitive

Trying to create a tabbed widget. Your wiki entry on tabbed widgets is very in depth but is written for a programmer. Can you post some sample code for 3 tabbed widget so the less technically inclined can copy and just modify?
