Widgets

We are testing a widget that you can add to your site/blog to show other people wich episodes you have recently watched.

To add this widget to your site/blog, just copy and paste the following code into the HTML of your pages:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mytvshows.org/widgets/recent.php?u=XXXXXX&limit=5"></script>

Just replace the XXXXXX with your MyTVShows username and there you go. If you like, you can also select how many episodes you want to show, just by changing the limit variable.

This is what it will look like:
MyTVShows Widget

Update: This feature is no longer Beta, and you can find it on your profile page on MyTVShows.

    Hi, thx for this great widget, theres just few things to improve ..
    1) set border of the image (logo mytvshows) to 0px, it causes trouble when there is global defined css for anchors
    2) make some easy setup of colors and how many items to show
    3) show total time spent watching all episodes

    thx for this great website/app :)

    Thanks for the feedback. This is still VERY Beta :)
    For now I’m just testing the widget in as many situations as possible to see if there are more CSS overrides to be done, so that it will look good in almost every situation.
    In the future it will be possible to select how many items you want to show and some help to let users customize their widgets.
    Unfortunatelly, right now I don’t have enough time to work more on it, so it will have to wait a few more days…
