Usernames on map widget
I’ve just added usernames to the MSG map widget I created yesterday (see: http://alexlittle.net/blog/2007/06/19/msg-map-widget/) so when you click on a marker it’ll tell you who that user is. At the moment this is only available for the msg.open.ac.uk server – but hopefully will be able to apply it to msg-openlearn server soon too. It the username isn’t available then just ‘Anonymous’ is displayed instead.











Is this not for anyone? Just for people on such and such server?
Hi, no, it’s just for people who are logged in to one of our MSG instant messenger server, though people who sign up to the OU’s OpenLearn will be shown – since they automatically get accounts on our msg-openlearn server.
