The widget is fully customizable via the preferences pane (click the ‘i’ in the bottom left corner).

The widget automatically gets new notifications from the Facebook website, but there is also the option to manually refresh the widget to update it instantly.

Facebook Dashboard Widget

June 19th, 2007 | Projects | 2 comments

Now that I have got the JavaScript client library for the Facebook API out of the way, I can concertrate on what I started out to design - a Facebook dashboard widget.

The first version will likely only display new wall posts/messages/pokes. From there I would like to expand with a search function perhaps and maybe the ability to leave ‘quick wall posts’ on your friends pages.

Facebook JavaScript Client Library

Facebook JavaScript Client Library Screenshot

I’ve finished the first version of a JavaScript client library for the popular Facebook social networking website. The client library interfaces with the Facebook API via JSON-with-padding to retrieve useful information such as names, date of births, photographs and much more.

Whilst it’s still got a way to go, such as improving the process used to store returned values from the REST server, it should be quite usable at the minute.

This is my first stab at anything JavaScript related, so I hope you can make sense of it all and don’t get too disgusted at the state of the code (I’m sure allot of it can be improved, but it’s still a work in progress).
