Performancing WordPress Widget

Published on November 19, 2006 in Other and Tech. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

As you might have noticed by the new huge ad badge in my sidebar, I’m now a proud partner of Performancing. Even though it’s pretty straight-forward, you still have to add a few lines of Performancing code by hand to your WordPress theme in order to integrate Performancing into your blog.

I wanted to place Performancing somewhere on my sidebar. Since my sidebar is managed by the fantastic Widgets plugin, I was looking for a Perfomancing widget. No luck, couldn’t find one. So I quickly wrote one by myself. Well, I took an existing GPL Widget and modified it to fit my needs.

If you want to use it too, feel free to download it here.

Installation is like with any other widget: unpack and upload it to your plugins/widgets folder, activate it in your plugins menue and then drag it somewhere onto your sidebar.

There are only three Widget options to set:

  1. Widget title (default: Performancing Partners)
  2. Blog ID (obligatory! your blogid given by Performancing)
  3. Widget alignment (default: center)

If you have any suggestions or troubles please post them here.

    Excellent! Nice to see someone contributing something like this. I’ve never been able to grasp doing code despite nearly 30 years in computers and R&D.

    I was searching for the same type of widget and I also use the Widgets plugin. Finally I found King Text and the King Framework. The Framework has to be uploaded first which has all the stuff needed for the various King plugins to run correctly. These were designed solely for use with the Widgets plugin and the King Text plugin can be used for putting plain text, HTML or PHP code into the sidebar when using the Widget plugin.

    Yours sounds like a much simpler way for those who to add just Performancing and don’t need all the other “bells and whistles”.

    Question…Do you use a widget for the syndication links under “Subscribes” in your sidebar and if you do does it happen to be “SubscribeME” (might not have spelling right). If it is, I could never get it to work correctly. I’d get the “Subscribe” in my sidebar about where yours is but the feed links and icons were all at the top and to the right of the sidebar.

    I’d appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    What you see under “subscribe” in my sidebar is just another default text widget containing html-code (offered by feedburner) with links and images to all those sites and services. A very simple solution without the need of an additional widget.
