Vimeo Badge Widget
02 August 09
About a week or two ago I was building a blog for a client who asked if a Vimeo Badge could be added to their sidebar. I expected there to be a plethora available. However, I was stunned to find that this was not the case. I tried Vimeo RSS, but I wasn’t really satisfied.
This afternoon I decided to write my own. Just a simple widget that allows a user to select the number of videos, and then grab the videos for a user, a users album, a group or even a channel.
It was also my first venture into Widgets since Wordpress released 2.8 and their new Widget API. I must say, I’m really impressed with the new API. For someone who has never used it before, I was able to develop a widget in under two hours. It’s nice, simple and very intuitive.
I’ve submitted it to Wordpress and hopefully it will be in their repository soon. In the mean time, you can grab it here: http://tylercraft.com/vimeo-badge-widget.zip
I’m in the process of developing a wordpress site for a client. I want to recommend that the client use a vimeo account to host their videos and use your badge widget to showcase a matrix of 4 videos on their homepage.
Can you point me to an example of your vimeo badget widget in use?
Thanks!

I no longer have a vimeo account, so I don’t have a personal site out with the badge on it. It’s a free plugin that you can install and test with. It pulls in the RSS feed from Vimeo and will display the number of thumbnails you set in the widget. They’ll then link to Vimeo. It’s just a ul html tag that you can style with CSS as need be.
