Who needs Samurai when you have Vikings? This fearsome warrior will remind you of anything that needs reminding. Double-click him to configure.

He demonstrates the new window.moveTo functions in Opera 9 weekly (8455 in Windows), ~~and he can even accept and display messages from other widgets! (Demo widget available here)~~ Message sending no longer available due to security upgrades in latest versions of Opera 9.

Tried Chris suggestion, unzipped the folder, deleted the zipped one, NO SOUND, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to drag the config.xml file, the unzipped file is on widgets folder and now it is not appearing on widgets. Any more help??
Thanks

Great widget!

Don't have anything to add to this one

By Yamiking, # Jun 25, 2006 11:16:59 PM

It does not have sound

Thanks Chris! It worked!

Just a note, if you don't know how to uncover hidden folders.

In the folder that the hidden folder is in, Tools> Folder Options.
There should be a window open. Now, click the 'View' tab. Somewhere on that tab there should be 'Show hidden Files and folders' Click that. You should be able to see the Application Data folder that Chris mentioned.

Viking bug

If his 'home' is close to the right hand edge, he is unable to get back there after an alert. Just keep running

Aaaand there's a reminder missing...
"Tea's Ready!"

I've a good sound file for it too

1) Brilliant. Cracking Widget :-)

2) Lack of sound is an Opera thing, I believe.
FIX:
Close Viking Reminder if he's running.
Locate the widgets folder (it'll likely be hidden)
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\widgets

Then unZIP the viking_reminder-0_1.zip files into their own folder, say viking_reminder and drag the config.xml file onto Opera.
Open 'Manage your Widgets' and delete the Viking Reminder entry that is not shown in bold (the zipped version)

The new Viking will be running, to give him something to do and a sound and, if all went well, he'll be able to shout at you

Hello, the viking does not work under Linux. I don't know why but when it starts running it gets stuck in the middle of the screen turning around in an endless loop. I've tried that many times and all of them drive to the same bug. I think you should check this widget under Linux. If it happens you don't have it installed, try a live CD like Knoppix to do so.

I hope you fix this bug soon.

Great job!!

It must not be able to play the sounds when packed into the zip file. Don't know if there's a way round this until Opera decide whether to change this.

By johnnysaucepn, # Jun 21, 2006 1:52:17 PM

No sound. Maybe its not packed into the widget paths?

By TerroX, # Jun 21, 2006 6:03:33 AM

Hei.

Cool widget mr, but i cant get the angry little dude to talk.. hes got no voice poor guy.

By Hotmale, # Jun 21, 2006 2:04:14 AM

I get no sound even though I have sound in web pages enabled and can hear elsewhere.
Great little widget but how do I get the sound?
Maybe the sounds didn't download with the widget??

Cool widget, i love it

Relly shit

Just a note to say that the message-relaying feature is now inoperative in the latest versions of Opera 9 due to important security considerations. It won't be re-activated in its current form, and there's no information on when an alternative will be available.

The other features should behave as normal - there is no reason to re-download.

By johnnysaucepn, # Jun 13, 2006 1:10:33 PM

No sound with 'Enable sound in Web pages' checked.

By Arnt, # Jun 11, 2006 11:50:18 PM

I do have the same problem (but it's in 9 build 8414), sound enabled, little guy runs like mad but no sound is heard on these shores...
and now that I figured it: he should "talk" and tell me what I asked him to remind me about. Not even that happens with me.
I have no future as a village raider, I know.

By helaspourmoi@gmail.com, # Jun 10, 2006 7:05:51 PM

qualbeen and yadavankur - do you have 'enable sound in web pages' enabled in your quick preferences? Could you check, in case that's the problem?

Is anyone else getting this problem, or the one that virtuelvis spotted?

By johnnysaucepn, # Jun 9, 2006 0:41:34 AM

great

...i can already imagine a scenario in which i have all 3 of them on my desktop....at once

but i guess in order to make that happen i would have to do it myself

or maybe not?

By shadowk, # Jun 9, 2006 0:30:35 AM

@shadowk, already on it! The code is ready, but I've been holding off on clipping the graphics because it's a slow, menial process and I needed a rest!
