using/reusing apple widget plugins? - Posted: May 12, 2005 - 10:51 AM

Hi, I'm writing a widget that needs to access the Address Book. Rather than write my own plugin, I figured I'd just use the one supplied with Apple's Address Book widget that comes with Tiger. But so far, I can't get it to work -- when I try to access the AddressBook object in JavaScript, the console says "Can't find variable: AddressBook".
I've copied AddressBook.widgetplugin to my widget's root directory and chowned it to be owned by root:admin. I've updated the Info.plist file of my widget to reference AddressBook.widgetplugin.
Am I missing something? This is driving me nuts, any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian,
There's probably some step regarding the plugins that you need to follow. I'd recommend going through Apple's docs about plugins for dashboard widgets, which it sounds like you'll need, and if you have the developer tools installed look at the Fortune example under /Developer/Examples/Dashboard/Sample Code/Fortune for a widget that uses a plugin.
Unfortunately, if you're not familiar with Xcode and objective C you may have some learning to do unless you just need to reuse an existing plugin like the AddressBook, since the plugins aren't written in Javascript.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Lux
