Styleroomz asked for a widget to showcase products. Data is retrieved from their affiliate source as XML in a zip file.

The XML is updated daily to ensure prices and special offers are fresh.

The widget uses HTML, XML, MySQL, Javascript and PHP. Data sources include XML for the affiliate information such as coded links, pictures, pricing and store information, and MySQL used by the Styleroomz ecommerce software to link to their pages. The Yui library from Yahoo was used to create the carousel effect.

The following short video demonstrates how the widget in use.
