The gadget won’t install. I get a zip package and I extract it, but can’t install it …. please advise
I cannot install. There is no .gadget file. Please provide better instructions on how to install. Many thanks, Everett Fineran
Nice start. More important than marking done…Gadget needs to be able to filter to show only critical tasks such as hotlist, due today, or starred. A gadget is impractical to show larger lists. Also, refresh doesn’t seem to work. Of course, adding a task would be nice too. Thanks for publishing this.
When is the next release?
I plan to update the gadget in the very near future as I plan to start utilizing it more.
I’ll keep you all posted.
Google Labs has a “Add any gadget by URL” option. What URL would I use to add this gadget to my google page?
Chris,
installs just fine, don’t know what all the other issues people had were, works fine, look forward to being able to click a thing done, and maybe alter the way tasks are displayed, great work. best wishes with the project
Looks promising. Some of my thoughts:
- The copyright notice seems a bit unnecessary. Clutters the view.
- Just show a filtered list (like hotlist)
- Table view (due dates)
Place the files in the zip file into the following:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\Toodledo Gadget.gadget\
Right-click on the Sidebar to add gadgets and you’ll see it. The folder filename needs to match the in the xml file.

Following your instructions, I was easily able to get the gadget to load… However, I am unable to log on. Using the gadget settings, I input my email address and password, but the gadget says that my Username and/or password is incorrect.
I have triple-checked that I am using the correct credentials by logging into the actual Toodledo site.
i am unable to install this… any hints?
I am having the same problem as far as the gadget accepting my user name and password. Any suggestions. Thanks in Advance!
Using Firefox 3 on Vista 64, I couldn’t install the gadget when clicking the link, and choosing “Open with Windows Sidebar”.
I had to right click the link, save the file, and double click the gadget file to finally install it.
Great start but like everyone has said it has issues and needs more functionality to make it useful.
One question I had is.. have you stopped working on this? Seems like there is a lot of feedback but no responses from you.
I would like to go back and add to it some more, especially as I’ve seen an increase of people interested in it.
