Can't Get Code to Work!!!

tsukechick 1190133712|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hello, I can't get the code to work! Even using the codes that appear on this page, I cannot get the Google widgets to load on my wiki. Meebo works just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is! :( :( :(

Can't Get Code to Work!!!

tsukechick,

Not sure if you'll see this, but I had the same problem. The thing I discovered is that these google gadgets don't appear in the "Preview" mode in a Wiki. You have to first do a "Save" and then you should see the gadget work on your Wiki.

Hope this helps…

This is the code generated by Google:
<script src="http://spreadsheets.google.com/gpub?url=http%3A%2F%2F88sui90i-a.gmodules.com%2Fig%2Fifr%3Fup__table_query_url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fspreadsheets.google.com%252Ftq%253Frange%253DG3%25253AG20%2526key%253DpC9bbqlpYXYrIUsjfiPcmYA%2526gid%253D0%2526pub%253D1%26up_title%3D%26up_labelx%3D%26up_labely%3D%26up_legend%3D4%26up_3d%3D1%26up_stacked%3D0%26up__table_query_refresh_interval%3D0%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252Fig%252Fmodules%252Fcolumn-chart.xml&height=357&width=450"></script>

[[if i place it in "embed" tags - it produces: Sorry, no match for the embedded content.
If I place it in a plain file inside "body" tags- it works just fine.

You must be filtering out google spreadsheet gadgets. Let it though, please.

Thank you.

I experimented and found a solution:

When you get a code from google, you something like:

<script src="http://*www.*gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/datetime.xml&up_color=red&synd=open&w=320&h=136&title=Date+%26+Time&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Which does not work. However, if you just remove the "www." from the code, you get:

<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/datetime.xml&up_color=red&synd=open&w=320&h=136&title=Date+%26+Time&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Which does work.

Hope this helps,
