Digg Widget Conflict

[Regretful Morning]

When I have the digg widget installed on my page, the gallery becomes blank.



It works again once I remove it.

Here is the widget code:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
digg_id = 'digg-widget-container'; //make this id unique for each widget you put on a single page.
digg_width = 'auto';
digg_height = '250px';
digg_theme = 'digg-widget-theme2';
digg_title = 'Popular stories from the source site regretfulmorning.com sorted by date';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/widgetjs"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/services?type=javascript&amp;callback=diggwb&amp;endPoint=%2Fstories%2Fpopular&amp;count=10&amp;domain=regretfulmorning.com&sort=promote_date-desc"></script>

I see it working..

I see it working..

I removed the Digg widget. Like I said, the gallery works when I remove the above code.

If I use this code on my site, the FCG will not work at all.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
digg_id = 'digg-widget-container'; //make this id unique for each widget you put on a single page.
digg_width = 'auto';
digg_height = '250px';
digg_theme = 'digg-widget-theme2';
digg_title = 'Popular stories from the source site regretfulmorning.com sorted by date';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/widgetjs"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/services?type=javascript&amp;callback=diggwb&amp;endPoint=%2Fstories%2Fpopular&amp;count=10&amp;domain=regretfulmorning.com&sort=promote_date-desc"></script>

I do not have this code on my site because I don't want the gallery to be down for long periods of time.

so..do not use that digg plugin or find similar

It's not a plugin, it's code from their site http://digg.com/add-digg

Yelena, I have the same issue on my site. I don't think you understand the problem. It's not a plugin and there is no "finding similar." This is an integration that is important to the sites that use it and to not be able to use it with FCG is ridiculous. The Digg integration is a normal, regular widget code, as you've been shown above. Many very successful sites use it.

We need a little more depth to your answers. You sound like you are telling Regretful to just go away and that you don't want to be bothered with it. The problem is, it's not just him. There are many of us that want to keep FCG, but use the Digg integration - but we can't - and we need a solution.

My site is not as popular as Regretful Morning, so I can leave the error in a little longer if you would please go look and attempt to determine what the issue is.

ok, for those digg lovers, I found solution...which you may like..

As I see, this peace of code from http://digg.com/add-digg, that digg lovers put on wordpress, is making conflict with fcg.. and this is just regular digg rss reader code..

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
digg_id = 'digg-widget-container'; //make this id unique for each widget you put on a single page.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/widgetjs"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/services?type=javascript&amp;callback=diggwb&amp;endPoint=%2Fstories%2Fpopular&amp;count=10"></script>


we can trick our wordpress and digg to present info by just reading digg rss feed through wordpress rss widget...

so on digg site...http://digg.com/about-rss
you can see a lot of different topics..
for example, we need "All News, Videos, & Images", we get that rss url, which is http://feeds.digg.com/digg/news/popular.rss
then in your wordpress widgets, add rss widget, specify url(http://feeds.digg.com/digg/news/popular.rss), title and other settings if you wish..save, that's it...you have exactly the same info from digg as above digg script gives you...just design is different...

At least it works on my site with no problem, fcg is fine, digg is fine...

but I am still wondering..how you gonna benefit your blog ranking from posting someone else digg articles on your site?..just to get more information on you site?..but all digg links still go to digg..not to you..you better create more articles by your own...promote your content, not others..you want your site ranking not digg...from my opinion..all those diggs,reddit and other networks..they are good to be as news...they do not help you at all..they are just doubling content in geometrical progression in the Internet(on site like yours)...making google do not give you ranking because it is not unique content..Google likes unique content that you write, not reposting info from diggs and others...more you write, more ranking you get..

For example, my husband is technical writer..he has many sites, that RANKING, he never had any diggs ...but he is number one in his area(topics)...

about your "own" posts:
that post starting with words "A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop."
I searched google for existance of this phrase on the Internet..
Google gave me this:

About 942 results for "A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop". (0.44 seconds)

942 results sounds ridiculous..there is nothing for you to write about on your own? Do you think google will like you after reposting it 942nd time? If you really like that article about seagull, you could rewrite it in your own words..not just copy it..this way it would be unique content that google would appreciate..

We have so many garbage-copy-paste-steal blogs on the Internet...
