Does not work as perscribed

Costia 24 Nov 2008 22:21

I uploaded 6 pictures, created an album, and tried to copy the code and put it into the above given example code, however, i keep getting a oops! widget failed to load
oops! no media nodes in XML
oops! no widget type found
oops! invalid XML

i am not sure what i am doing wrong, or if there is a specific way to get the code from Photobucket. Honestly, all i want to do is upload some pictures from my desktop….but i can't find a simple way to do it…

Same experience.

This is how I got the URL to use this snippet:

1. Sign onto Photobucket and go to your main album page.
2. In the top bar, there's a list of things like "albums&upload", "edit images", etc.. Mouse-over the one called "slideshows" and click "more styles…" This will take you to the Slideshow Creation page.
3. Add all the pictures you want to display to your slideshow and select the style in which you want to view it. Then click "3 Save Slideshow". Name your slideshow, save it.
4. In the next page, there will be a box called "Link code". In that box is a text box called "HTML Code: Websites and Blogs". The code in that box looks like this:

<div style="width:320px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w131.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w131.photobucket.com/albums/p313/michal_frackowiak/1161469806.pbw" height="360" width="320"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div>

1. Basically, all you have to do is copy/paste the HTML embed tag and add </embed> at the end.

Hope this helps!

Can you insert here your "used embed code" by inserting between the
[[code]]
..
..
[[/code]]

lines ?

While working on the Shared Photo Gallery Template, I ran into similar issues. I can't find any way to generate Wikidot-compatible [[embed]]...[[/embed]] code on Photobucket (the only reference to a "widget" I found was from a 2006 entry on the Photobucket blog). I ended up opting for an iframe/html code block solution. I suspect Photobucket still supports the old embed code but they don't seem to provide the code in that format for any newer albums or slideshows.

If you have a number of Photobucket albums to display, you may want to borrow some of the code from the template.
