Problem w/embedding Google Gadget Script

[adamcampb]

Choose the google.gadgetscript extension. Fill in the required "script" field with:

<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/googletalk.xml&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=451&a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;output=js"></script>

(...though any script will do.)

Looks like this after inserting:

{{ google.gadgetscript{script: ""} }}


Get this failure message:

Function 'google.gadgetscript' failed with response:
Google gadget must contained in a <script> tag

Check html:
<p><br />{{ google.gadgetscript{script: &quot;&quot;} }} </p>

The gadget script has been stripped away.

Am I doing something wrong here? How do I embed one of those 46,000 Google Gadget scripts?

This is on 1.8.3. Same thing happens on opengarden's sandbox.

Thanks,
Adam

It should look like this:

{{ google.gadgetscript('
<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/googletalk.xml&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=451&a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;output=js"></script>') }}

Thanks... but the problem is Deki seems to be stripping the script from the html.

I just pasted your stuff in there...

{{ google.gadgetscript('<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/googletalk.xml&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=451&a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;output=js"></script>') }}

...then toggled to WYSIWIG mode... and this is what it turned into:

{{ google.gadgetscript('') }}

Everything between the quotes is stripped out.

Then I save it and get:

Google gadget must contained in a <script> tag

Paste directly into the WYSIWIG view. If you paste into the HTML view, you need the following encoding:

{{ google.gadgetscript('&lt;script src=&quot;http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http:...mp;h=451&amp;a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp; amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;a mp;output=js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;') }}

Sadly, that doesn't seem to make a difference.

FWIW, the other Google extensions work fine. It's just this Google Gadget extension.

I've inserted the google-supplied script via the wizard in both html & WYSIWIG modes. I've also pasted the complete code...

{{ google.gadgetscript('<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/googletalk.xml&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=451&a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;output=js"></script>') }}

...in both modes. Everything between the (single) quotes gets stripped away.

This can be reproduced on the sandbox.

Correct, the <script> tag has be passed in as string parameter to the google.gadgetscript function.

[adamcampb]

To be clear, when I insert Google's script via the extension insert tool in WYSIWIG view, the script is nowhere to be seen on the page. Just
{{ google.gadgetscript('') }} .

I've filed a bug on the Extension Dialog issue here - thank you for reporting it to us!

One thing might be throwing things off when you paste into the WYSIWIG editor are line breaks - I was seeing the "Google gadget must contained in a <script> tag" error until I removed them. I've got your gadgetscript running at http://wiki.opengarden.org/User:BrigetteK.

[adamcampb]

Thanks!

Can you please let me know if you come up with a workaround?

[Ooops- just noticed your second paragraph. Okay, I'll see what happens with the line breaks.]

Brigette-

Which line breaks are you talking about?

{{ google.gadgetscript('<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/googletalk.xml&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=451&a mp;title=__MSG_title__&amp;lang=en&amp;country=US& amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&a mp;output=js"></script>') }}

Anything in there?

Or do you mean the <p>'s before the code?

And are you saying those line breaks appear when you insert via the extension tool in WYSIWIG? Are the line breaks editable through the Deki interface - or are you talking about something I'd have to edit at the source?

Thanks,
Adam
