V1 widget support is ending, please read this article and find out how you can update your site so that your customisations to your V1 widgets are not lost!
Remember the V1 widgets? The clunky design, the slow load speeds, the horrificly thrown together code? Well, some of you don't need to remember them! You're still using them on your websites!
V1 widgets where hastily thrown together by myself to test the project and see if I would get any interest in them. Since then, the number of users has grown, the features offered by the API are now greater and the V1 widgets are now obsolite.
There are still a number of users who are using these widgets however, and please can I ask you webmasters to update them as soon as possable!
From the 1st of July I will be switching off all V1 widget code, this means that if you used the V1 widgets you will be upgraded to the V2 widgets and any design changes you make will break. Please take the time now to update the widgets to V2 and implement your design changes before it is too late!
V2 will probably be the last version of the widgets as I can carry out changes and maintenence to these easily without a radical overhall like the changes from V1 to V2.
How to upgrade
Its a simple process to upgrade, just visit the Setup Page once again, follow through the steps and update the link to your JS files, or since they are now avaliable, make customisations to your widgets using our new widget editing tools and also update your HTML embed code.
If you have any issues, feel free to reach out to me!
