Okay, once you create a widget, how do you get the source to paste into your own web site?

There's a "share" button on the bottom of the widget itself -- click on it and you can grab embed code, or put it on your Myspace / Facebook / etc.

There was a small bug, so it could be that the 'share' button wasn't appearing for you before - that should be fixed now.

Here's the https://www.pond5.com/es/index.php?page=create_widget

Whoever created the widget is a friggin' genious! I put it on my web site: http://www.csproductions.info/stock-commercials.htm

That link gives an error... I think this is what you meant: http://www.csproductions.info/stock-commercials.htm

Widget is at the bottom of the page -- looks great!

Oh yeah, I am putting widgets and soon clip bins out to the net -

This is marketing and really everyone should participate - it benefits all.

The "GenerateClipListFromWhat" flag, that you see when you click the share button must be set to "artist". If you haven't overridden this variable yourself, there is a bug in the Widget generator code. In general, don't touch any other variables than the size, if possible, and let the www.pond5.com/widget set up the other variables.

The "GenerateClipListFromWhat" variable can be any of curator, new, bin, artist, search and category. The argument (where applicable) goes into the "what_arg_..." variable. But this should be taken care of by the generator page.

I'd really recommend to put it inside a proper html page too:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Create Widget</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- the widget code -->
</body>
</html>

(I don't think you don't know this, it's just good to be precise if someone searches the forums when they have problems.)

Best regards,
Marcus
