Keegan Jones‘ (among others) Ta-da Lists Widget is down!
The erring widget.
I began reusing Ta-da Lists recently when I found out about the iPhone support. Â It works beautifully. Â When I think of something while I’m on the go, I can add a ta-da list item with my iPhone painlessly. Â When I’m back at my computer, I reference the very same list. Â I love it.
Up until the other day I was using the Ta-da Lists widget as my way to interact with my lists on my Macintosh computer. Â But for some reason the widget now just spins (pictured) while trying to get the lists and their items.
I don’t know what is going on, but I’ve sent a few messages to whomever I could find contact information for.
As a side request:Â If anyone knows an application, rather than a widget, that utilizes Ta-da lists – please let me know.
Mmm, that’s odd. I’ll take a look at the widget and get it fixed ASAP! Check for an updated version here soon.
Keeeeg! Thanks man. It just happened out of no where, so I’m pretty sure it isn’t your fault. The 37signal’s crew must have changed something with the API or something.
I’m still having the same problem (spinning) after installing the update on two computers.
Any new info? Is the update working for you?
Thanks,
Rich
I can’t even install the last update. Error: The file “Ta-da Lists.wdgt†is not a valid widget and you cannot install it. Using Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9D34).
Ok I did a glimpse with DashCode and found an “Cannot open widget: Missing Default.png file.” So browsing widget’s files found ‘default.png’. Just renamed it to ‘Default.png’ and save widget.
PS: I’m using HFSJ Case-sensitive.
I don’t know how to edit the code of mine or anything… but I’m tired of my favorite widget not working and tried to fix it today. I downloaded the newest one twice and still can’t get it to work. Others still having trouble? What do I do?
hi there,
it seems like the same issue at the moment. i have upgraded to the may 8th version, but nothing but spinning…
help?!
i have the same problem…but it’s october! was this fixed in july and I’m just slow?
I’m also having the same trouble. The widget just doesn’t work.
Just fixed mine.
1) Download latest widget to downloads folder
2) Rename downloaded wdgt file to Ta-da-custom.wdgt or similar (new file name stops caching I suspect)
2) Open in widget dashcode (do not install yet)
3) Open tada.js, and around line 63, make the following changes
for (i=0; i<totalLists; i++) {
var parts = myLists[i].toString().split(“/”); //<– add this line
listIds.push(parts[parts.length-1]); //<– modified this line
listNames.push(myLists[i].innerHTML);
4) Save and quit dashcode
5) Double click to deploy, replace old version when prompted.
Tada!
Right on Tobin…that worked! Many thanks!
To everyone having problems with the Ta-Da-List widget: it appears the official download file still requires this work around (it’s now October ’09).
Works like a charm now though.
I do this fix and get a syntax error line 63 on the “var” line
help please?
thanks
When you copy and paste the code, try and delete and re-type the double quotation marks at the end of the extra line.
That worked.
Thanks!
The download link is broken too !! no way to download it ! snifffff !
