Opinions: MySpace Plug-In

Over the Holidays I've been working on a new feature for B2B, a plug-in for MySpace where bands can paste in a small B2B family tree into their particular band page.

There are still some technical details I'm working out but I've got it working in just about every browser except for IE 6 in Windows which pushes a pixel out of place. Since MySpace controls the layout parameters on their own site, this is about as good as I can get. Here is an example:

The B2B download page:
[bandtoband.com] http://bandtoband.com/index.php?Page=MySpace

MySpace page (Mark's "side project" from college):
[www.myspace.com] http://www.myspace.com/thestalkersdc

I think this could be a good addition to get more people noticing B2B and a nice extension for bands' MySpace pages. Suggestions are welcome.

Not sure if this is related or not, but the family trees are messed up in Firefox. They are now in a bigger font, and it messes up the tree. Makes it hard to read.

So wait, how do i actually get something other than Bad Religion?

Can you send me a screen shot of the messed up font size? I've been tweaking with the layout of the trees to optimize code size and might have jumbled the font although I can't replicate the problem myself. You might want to try and clearing your cache too to make sure your browser has the lastest CSS layout file in cache just in case.

As for the Bad Relgion tree, I'm just using them as a default band right now. After some more issues I need to resolve I'll open it up for any band.


Kevin

Yeah, ok. I cleared the cache and it looks good now. Thanks.

I think it looks awesome. Nice job, Kevin.

Looks good. I used it here -
[www.myspace.com] http://www.myspace.com/therealamberinn

There is an issue down at the bottom of the tree. I have no idea what the problem is, or if it is a problem on all of them.

There is definitely something going wrong. I'm looking into it. A working example from my friend:
[www.myspace.com] http://www.myspace.com/holyromanempire


Kevin

I'm confused. Is the Holy Roman Empire page supposed to be not working too at the bottom link for the b2b thing? It looks fine to me.

Scott:
I've fixed the bug. Sorry about that but it's good the bugs are popping up now before a bunch of people find out about it. Go ahead and cut and paste the new code over the old code into your MySpace page and everything should be cleared up.

Paper:
The Holy Roman page should be working just fine, I meant to say that it was a working version out there.

Let me know if any more issues creep up.


Kevin

Sweet, looks correct now.

Ah, okay. I was a bit confused.

I will spread the word around to any band I'm friends with someone in to use the plug-in if they wish.
