This is a virtual chumby module for Joomla! 1.5. Chumby, the open hardware and open software information/entertainment appliance, now allows users to create and play with a "virtual chumby." Chumby is an alarm clock sized embedded Linux device with a Flash widget player. The widgets are selectable, configurable, and automatically flip cycle.
1. Register at chumby.com
2. Create a channel and choose/configure some widgets. There are a lot, so have some fun with it.
3. Create a virtual chumby using the channel you chose. You can use the generated code in any webpage.
Instructions for installing and using the module:
4. Download and install module package following the standard process (Back-end/Extensions/Install)5. Search for Virtual Chumby at Module Manager and set module parameters
6. The most important parameter is your channel's id. It can be found in the virtual chumby code:

And this verification is nearly impossible to see!
Thanks
The image verification system was changed.
It only shows a clock and the images I have selected on the channel
dont show up .
Do you know why? Its something wrong with the channel?
Thanks
If yes and the clock widget is the first one in your channel, it's possible that the default display time is too long. You can set it in every widget at the chumby site by my channel menu.
Kudos 2U!
Also, if I just want to embed the code on an article page, how do I do that? my text editor that defaults with joomla doesn't seem to save "embed prefix of code"
You will need multiple instances of the module with different channel ids. (You can make a copy in module manager).
I also have problems with inserting special code, embedded media, etc. into articles. A possible solution is you set the chumby module into an invisible position and load it inside the article with { loadposition XXX } where XXX is the module position name. Maybe I'll make a virtual chumby plugin for this.
You may want go with embedding code into an article (answer in the previous comment).
