Wow, this plugin is what I was looking for

But a have a problem... I don't know if Im doing something wrong or what, but in the widget-config.php file there's a line saying:

* Step 5: Upload the widgets-cron.php file to the includes/cron directory

I dont see any widgets-cron.php file in the .zip.

Please forgive if is a stupid question, but I would really love have this plugin working and I can't find this file. And sorry for my english, because Im spanish

Thanks<3

VB 4.0 comes with its own widget system which puts this one to shame but until then - this gets the job done.

Do you know if the vB 4 widgets will be usable on non-vBulletin pages?

You guys - I am so so sorry. I forgot to package the cron job file. I updated the attached ZIP file - it now has the needed file. So sorry, my mistake.

Ahh very nice to see this, I'm not updating right away to 4.0 until I have time to learn nearly all the changes so until then this will work perfectly, I'll install tonight after dinner tonight!

Thanks

Edit: Update your sig w/ link to vB Nexus
