I've added it, Shuba. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with Chrome and can't see how to use the gadget. Any pointers please (I'm probably being very dense).

I've made some progress but just lists what's on the BF sports home page. So the tennis markets, for example, aren't shown as in play when they actually are ('cos the sports homepage doesn't list them).

Is it a rubbish gadget or am I still being dense?

My plan is to totally rely on you to do the research on this one 1.01 Layer.

Does it take the info from the home page rather than the in play coupons then? It must do, otherwise the list would be hundreds long.

My plan is to remain very dense about bf add-ons and keep things as simple as possible.

I'll post here when my head explodes :-)

Appears so, Rocket.

Yep, this gadget shows only markets from the Betfair Sports homepage. sorry for the unreasonable expectations...

By:

No worries, Shuba. Could be a great gadget if it shwed "ALL" ip markets, like it says.

1.01 Layer used to test Electronic gadgets for "Which" magazine.

Just a small piece of information that may be of assistance.

Layer, it is a good idea to show real ALL InPlay markets in gadget. I will try to add some new functionality for doing this in the near future.

Nice one, Shuba. Good work.

Any chance of adding Rugby Union? Motor sports and snooker would be great too.

By:

shuba When: 03 Oct 10 22:23

On reflection, after listening my mods, you really need to get this security tested by the Betfair people before you promote it on mine. When you've done that though you are more than welcome.

By:

1.01 Layer When: 05 Oct 10 10:16

What security issues could there be Geeks?

By:

The Geeks Toy When: 05 Oct 10 10:50

Key Logging, or account access once you are logged in. Although I don't personally think this is the intention here, for the sake of a few days wait to have it tested by bdp it's worth it for users peace of mind.

By:

1.01 Layer When: 05 Oct 10 11:30

Thanks Geeks.

Shuba, would you post here any result of a bf security test please.

By:

1.01 Layer When: 05 Oct 10 17:47

Shuba, why won't it save the preferences? Each time I come back to it, I have to recheck all the boxes for a complete list.

By:

The Geeks Toy When: 05 Oct 10 19:37

Shuba - Once certified you should be able to list it in the solutions directory, which should give you a lot more users than simply posting it up on a forum. My understanding is Betfair do not charge for certification, and unless they have a backlog, the process is usually turned around within a fortnight.

By:

yura000 When: 06 Oct 10 21:23

No security issues concerns this gadget because no security data need for gadget functioning.

My request to Betfair solutions directory still unanswered.

Will try to fix preferences shortly.

Thanks.
