Widget as standalone app

Hi,

im trying to create some opera widgets for mobile devices, but i dont want to upload the content anywhere but to share the .wgt file for the instalation, i was wondering if this is posible or if it is mandatory to upload the widget to a server

Thanks

I am looking at doing the exact same thing and am relatively new to this programming style/environment. I'd love to know if you got an answer to this question as it would vastly change my development plans.

Thanks,

Ian

Hi,

No, you don't need to upload widgets to the Opera server ( http://widgets.opera.com ). You can host them on your own server or share them by email, etc. If you do this, you may prefer to save them locally, in which case you can do the following:

For desktop, just double-click on the .wgt file and (assuming the Opera browser is installed) the widget installation dialog will appear.
For mobile, open the Opera Widget Manager and go to Settings -> Developer tools. You should find an "Install widget" option there.

Hope this helps.
Daniel
