   Hi,

   I'm in need of help!

   I have created a wordpres widget that consumes a webservice, however when I upload this it doesn't display the data. If another widget is added to the side bar below it it wont render, because the code seems to bomb out.

   I have no error message so finding it very hard to understand what is wrong.

   Before wrapping it in the relevant function to call in wordpress I tested the code and it runs perfectly and retunrs the relevent data.

   Can any one help me at all?

           }
   }
   
   function widget_GetCustomerFeedback($args) {
     extract($args);
     echo $before_widget;
     echo $before_title;?>Top 5 Customer Reviews<?php echo $after_title;
     GetCustomerFeedback();
     echo $after_widget;
   }
   
   function GetCustomerFeedback_init()
   {
     register_sidebar_widget(__('Customer Review Webservice'), 'widget_GetCustomerFeedback');
   }
   
   add_action("plugins_loaded", "GetCustomerFeedback_init");
   ?>

   Thanks Voodoo, your help is much appreciated.

   Sorry I made a mistake in the title, meant to say want a widget to consume a webservice.
