Hey I'm pretty new to adding scripts to websites and I just can't seem to figure out how to get this to work. I even tried just running the "test" index.html and the ToneDen player won't even load on there for me. This is all I see when I run the test index.html:

I'm trying to build a website for my friends who have a soundcloud and would love to be able to implement this ToneDen player on the site, but I just can't figure out how to do that! Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry for being so nooby lol.

The reason the test/index.html isn't loading correctly is probably because you need to set up a web server on your machine. test/index.html tries to load the player from the site 'widget.dev', which doesn't point to anything unless you set up Apache as described in the readme here.

The instructions at that link work apply to Macs, but if you're on Windows or Linux I believe the only difference will be the locations of the configuration files. If you're not familiar with Apache, there's a pretty good guide here.

If you're having trouble implementing the player in a live site, you can post the URL here and I can take a look to see what might be wrong.

Awesome thank you for such a quick reply! That totally makes sense why its not working now. I'll check out Apache and try and figure out my problems and I'll let you know if I can get it working!

Thanks again.
