Desktop Data [support thread]

[JVSS]

I think there must be a way to prevent this Active Desktop from reloading the webpage over and over...

I have tried everything, and I cannot even get passed the Login Page...

Great Idea though...

Then refresh your desktop. The mod should start working.

Then you can log out of the full size browser window and the mod should continue to work.

Nope. Not happening. If I run the mod directly from the browser it does come up with the details as per your sample picture, but in the browser window. How exactly is the login data send to ZENCART by the desktop? (Even though I am logged in, and when opening other browser sessions it takes me directly into the admin area, the desktop screen still requires login data when refreshed.)

Pity, as this is a wonderful idea.

This contribution can work, as shown by the screenshot; it's just you have to go through a few login steps to get it working. It's a problem with Active Desktop.

For me, it throws a full size browser window requiring login to Zen Cart. I login to this browser window, then refresh the Desktop Data window so it works, and once I do that, I can logout of the browser window and the Desktop Data window continues to work.

I'm starting to think it's because when I normally login to Zen Cart, I have to go through 3 login steps. Maybe Active Desktop is only expecting 1 step.

This is probably a contribution which is going to work very differently for people.

Whatever the case, I find the contribution really useful as it is. Obviously a lot of people are having problems with it, but I don't have a fix.

I have windows XP and followed the installation exactly. It did not work no matter what I did. It kept placing a window on the desktop that didn't look anything like the screenshot included in the download. Also displayed a white log in screen. Anyone ideas?

Same issue here.

Logged in 4-5 times and still no go.

I'm going to be working on this mod over the next couple of days. There are a few changes I want to make which might solve some problems.

Thanks Steven.

Looking forward to getting it working.

[Green333]

same here!!
thanks Steven300, and look fwd to your changes

I'm probably being optomistic but I believe this version should solve all problems so far.

There's a viable approach for Windows Vista users included in the mod.
