GamerBar360

I haven’t ironed out all the details yet but I was able to embed GamerBar360 on my MySpace page.

I used a HTML module and could only use the standard <object> tag to embed GamerBar360. I also had to use a querystring to pass in my gamertag – which is perfectly valid.

The issues with this approach is:

• GamerBar360 had to be hosted externally – unless someone knows if MySpace gives you some storage.
• The HTML module has a fixed size – if you can modify the width of it – I couldn’t find it.

So, hope is not lost. Looking for further suggestions regarding this.

Once I have something ironed out, I’ll post the process.

The first couple days have gone well. Some have posted a few suggestions in the forums such as:

• Supplying instructions for using GamerBar within MySpace
• Suggestions for those that may just have a blog hosting service like Blogger.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I’m not sure the best way to deal with those that may want to use GamerBar360 with blog hosting sites such as Blogger. I’ll have to figure out someway to deal with that as the file(s) would have to be hosted externally and typically hot-linking is not encouraged.

One thought is that sometimes your ISP gives you X amount of web space – of which you could upload GamerBar360 and the accompanying SWFObject to your ISP hosting account and adjust the paths to those files within your site’s template/theme using absolute paths.

I don’t have a MySpace account (*gasp*) so I can’t speak to that – yet. If they allow for hosting files, then it shouldn’t be that hard. Otherwise the option above could possibly be used as well.

Thanks again for all the first time visitors and the “congrats” and “good jobs”. I hope you’ll be able to take advantage of GamerBar360 and show off how you’ve incorporated it into your site.
