###Project page: http://cr0ybot.github.com/kickstarter-widget/
Simple PHP web scraper for displaying what Kickstarter projects you are backing. Place it on your blog or website with an iframe.
Kickstarter's official widgets only support single projects by clicking on the "embed" button under the intro video. I wanted to be able to show a smaller list of projects that I'm backing on my blog. So I wrote this simple PHP script to scrape my Kickstarter profile, and thought perhaps other people would find it useful.
See it in action on my blog: http://blog.cr0ybot.com/
This widget utilizes the PHP Simple DOM Parser at http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/
Kickstarter-widget will scrape Kickstarter's profile page for the requested amount of projects you are backing.
The url takes 2 parameters:
u: username or string of numbers in the url at http://www.kickstarter.com/profiles/###username###/projects/backed
n: (optional) number of projects to show in the list, 4 is default
ex: http://www.yourwebsite.com/kickstarter.php?u=username&n=6
If using an iframe to display widget, the height for n=1 should be 110. For the default n=4, height should be 290. For each n past 1, add 60 (for n=2 height=170, for n=3 height=230, etc).
height = n*60 + 50
