You should have a look at the Foursquare API to see what information you can retrieve. Then you could extend our Foursquare Gadget or create your own with the information you want.

Thx.

Hi Jay,

It looks like your layout is using the base layout from an older version of the Gadget. Can I ask where you found it so that we can update the link?

This is the Foursquare layout file you'll want to base a new one on. Also, there is an explanation of the HTML IDs and CSS class names that the Gadget expects in order to show content within certain elements. That is on our Wiki.

Hope that helps.

Hey Donna,
I was in and out of help, wiki, etc so many times I'm not really sure where it came from... sorry.
I'm not a very technical person. I can usually figure out what to c&p from samples. I've been messing around with this layout thing for foursquare since your email and still the darn presentation wont play. Can you help me out by sending me a sample xml file with a small change from the default (before I loose my mind!:)
Thanks!

Jay,

The Presentation you mentioned earlier is loading the Foursquare Gadget fine for me, and showing MAYOR in capitals. Is there a different Presentation and/or XML file you are trying out now?

Yes, that is the one I checked. It is working fine for me both in Preview and in Player.

Are you getting any sort of error? What happens when you try to Preview?

Now I see where you were downloading the incorrect layout file from. This help page is outdated. You should refer to this one instead - http://code.google.com/p/risegadgets/wiki/Foursquare until we get this page updated. The layout file you were using yesterday is the correct one. Keep going with that one.
