Hi, I wrote a custom data service id p08.0 and when I try to add it to my application it says it contains zero data fields. If I try to add it it just goes...
Heh, my favorite lately has been the stumbleupon infobar: http://gallery.search.yahoo.com/application?smid=UBm But I have no idea where the rating comes from....
Make sure that your dataservice outputs something in the preview window. Then hit "Next" while viewing the XSLT. That will run your XSLT on all of your test...
Hi - The StumbleUpon InfoBar is definitely great. To be frankly, however, I don't like the looking of the result page so much. Appending the InfoBar to each...
Hi All, I am a newbie over here and trying to make a search monkey for upcoming. I want to show the image of the Event in search result. I am trying to create...
Hi Everyone, We're making two changes to our gallery app requirements. Currently, an infobar will automatically show a "No data" message if the custom data...
Hi Search Monkey team, I suspect that you'd like to change enhanced display monkeys that use custom data services to infobar monkeys because of the increased ...
Hi Team, Sometimes, I don't want to enhance the results for all the URLs which match the trigger URL pattern. Say, the trigger URL pattern is "foo.com/bar/*",...
Lawrence actually blogged about this issue with a recommendation of sorts recently: http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2008/06/new_searchmonke.html This...
Hi folks, One of the major features we pushed last night is the ability for you to now share your apps to the entire world - whether approved in the Gallery,...
First, a better trigger URL pattern will help, it could save time for the custom data source engine to parse unwanted URLs which gets discarded later by the...
Bartt - Yeah, I do agree. Now that we've launched the ability to share non- gallery apps, we do hope that a lot of apps like yours (infobars -> results) will...
Hi Team, I got the follow error in SearchMonkey devtool: "Error rendering module. URL not found in Yahoo! Search." This in turn causes my monkey to produce a...
Hi Team, I ran into some deep links errors when writing a monkey. I read this in the guide: "The URL links must belong to the host of the search result." For...
Hi Ziru There is a bug in our preview pane that's generating this error for a small number of URLs. We're working fixing this so will keep you posted as we...
Please disregard the URL not found problem. The URL in Y! search index is: http://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/7263 and the real URL to the add-on is: ...
Oh no... this is bad news! We are another casualty of this change. :'(''' While I understand the rationale behind it, this may just kill potentially many...
Wanting to use a parameter in to formulate a request to the Digg webservice http://services.digg.com/user/sbwms?appkey=http%3A%2F%2Fapidoc.digg.com The meta...
I felt the same as Meng-You and Bartt. I hope the team could please put the sharable version back to work. I am pretty OK with such restriction on Gallery...
One way that I've used in the past is to get Yahoo! pipes to do this for me. pipes.yahoo.com We debated letting you run some PHP on the input before sending...
To clarify - the new requirement is *only* for apps in the Gallery - if you have an app that does make more sense as a Results app, go ahead and make that, and...
Another way is to use a 2nd data monkey. Make it a data monkey that uses XSLT string functions to extract it from the page that Search has indexed. Not sure...
Very cute. This is EXACTLY why I love having this as an open community. If you are doing the extraction yourself already, then yes, just do the string...
Something odd is going on though. My Better Amazon monkey (http://gallery.search.yahoo.com/application?smid=uVR.s) is now seeing the following error...
Wow - good suggestions. thanks. I'll see if I could create a data monkey :-) and generate a parameter that exactly delivers what is needed by webservice...
There is 1 BIG drawback to data monkeys. Let me explain that with an example. Take books for example. All books have an ISBN number. There are several web...
