ReplyDeleteThis does not work for me on my blog. The gadget and title of the gadget are displayed, but the contents of the gadget are not. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi Lilura1 Make a comment on your blog and see it will appear.

ReplyDelete"This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources." Note that this message does not pertain just to your version. Could you update your scripts to make them more generally acceptable?
ReplyDeleteits working.. but do you have widget that can see the top commenter by monthly?
ReplyDeleteHi ejulz to see top commenter by monthly you have to replace variable numDays value 0 to 30 var numDays = 0; If you don't understand then tell me..
DeleteI can get the widget up but only if I ignore the warnings. But I don't want my readership to receive these warnings. I just want it to work naturally on my blog. It's not just your version, but all versions of this widget that I have tried (so I'm not blaming you).
ReplyDeleteDid you modify the widget's script on this page at all?
Lilura1 Yes I modify the widget script on this page. And it won't work naturally as you want.
DeleteOk, so the widget is block by ublock in Chrome and Internet Explorer. It can't be fixed?
DeleteHow can we get the actual avatars of the top commenters to appear in the widget?
