Dear friends,
this message is addressed to webmasters who have added our widget with a custom landscape or PWS data.
In order to make the widget work properly you need to update your crossdomain.xml file on the server.
Basically you need to allow access from any domain.
You need to change domain property from "*.yowindow.com" to "*"
This is how crossdomain.xml should look.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cros ... policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="true"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
We had to make this change because our server is overloaded with widget requests.
YoWindow widget has got very popular.
There are around 300,000 widget views per day.
You may have noticed recently that the widget was not available for some time.
This is because our server was heavily overloaded.
We had to take a decision to move the widget to a more reliable place.
The widget is not located on yowindow servers anymore.
Because of this you need to update crossdomain.xml to allow YoWindow widget to load the landscape or data from your site.
Pasha

Re: Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
From a few hours is not received data on all the widgets I put in my blog.
This also happens with the widget without landscape customized.
're doing maintenance?
As for the file crossdomain.xml, I have to ask Herman to load it?
(Herman makes me a server for the custom landscape).
Regards.
Franco.

Re: Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
Hi Pasha,
I'm afraid we have a big problem
First of all I'm not very happy to get this information "by the way" ... not all widget users are looking permanent to the forum.
I changed the crossdomain exactly to your new version and the result is this:
You know, Yowindow is on the start site of my weather page and if we can not solve this problem I have to remove it
So please help very quickly!
Werner
Edit: on the Yowindow page you see this:

Hello Pavel
Here you and I tell you I had the same problem as Mallorca, I changed crossdomain as Pavel wrote. I'm sorry, and I hope that this problem will be solved. So far my YoWindow worked flawlessly.

Re: Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
Hey, friends!
I have put a lot of work today in making the widget work again.
I hope now it is working properly under any conditions.
I have also added a warning message for webmasters to update the crossdomain.xml.
The message is displayed when the custom landscape is not being loaded.
Please let me know if you still experience any problems with the widget behavior.
Make sure to clean your browser cache before playing around.

I think to allow everyone (every flash application) to access our system or the system of our provider can cause a security-problem.
Am i too anxious? What do you think?

Re: Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
Hi pasha
The widget works properly for me
The widget works fine from my site and the sociale network Hyves.
Reinhart has a point with the security. Everyone can now use the system of our provider as a host for the landscape and another flash applications.

Re: Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
And for me everything seem to be O.K.
It was 1 minute work to change the old to new crossdomain.xml file.
Thanks Pavel!!!

Hi Pasha,

I agree with the concerning of Reinhart. Now we have the chance to close a security problem.
