I'm trying to put this widget in a custom block on my portal:

Code:

To my knowledge, I've tried every possible configuration: with HTML/ withOUT HTML . . . switching *Editor Mode*. I still get nothing but the raw code on the portal.

I'm sure it's something simple, but what am I doing wrong?

Thanks so very much! Bpoetic~

Hi Bpoetic, may I ask where you got that code from? It seems to be cut and incomplete - I doubt the code you posted here will generally work...

Is that right? I got it here, Sunny:

Widget Box Poetry 180

When I clicked on *Get Widget* A box pops up with numerous ways of saving the code. I chose the first one: </>Get Code . . .



Any suggestions?

Thanks, Sunny!!

Click the "embed code" button instead. You will get an <object> code - that should work.

Okay . . . I'll try and let you know .. .

I've tried everything I can think of . . . (I DO want the HTML to be *RED*, right?) Anyway . . . it keeps coming out just like this:



<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="170px" height="423px" id="InsertWidget_96a93bda-f4c8-4f73-8748-6e856b02082e" align="middle"><param name="movie" value="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/flash/wrapper/InsertWidget.swf"/><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="flashvars" value="r=1&appId=96a93bda-f4c8-4f73-8748-6e856b02082e" /> <embed src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/flash/wrapper/InsertWidget.swf" name="InsertWidget_96a93bda-f4c8-4f73-8748-6e856b02082e" width="170px" height="423px" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" align="middle" flashvars="r=1&appId=96a93bda-f4c8-4f73-8748-6e856b02082e" /></object>

I'm at a loss . . . maybe there is a glitch happening right now?

Thank you Sunny . . . and Happy Birthday!! Bpoetic~

Ah yes, very sorry for late response!

well, actually you should want the "HTML" icon to be... green! Try to switch the mode again by clickin on it - for the future: Green = Go! (lol ) But the code looks much better now!

Anyway, best thanks for congrats.

Now see . . . I'd tried ALL that you'd suggested more than a few times, Sunny. But UNTIL you officially suggested it though . . . anyway, lol! NOW we have a new widget on our portal, and I thank you very much for your patience, Mr D.

Respectfully . . . Bpoetic~

SOLVED!

I do not understand the difference. I am having similar problems with a piece of code I am given to understand must be embedded. I don't really have the option of selecting different options - my only one is to insert this in a way it works - can you review this widget and give me a possible method of making it work in my forum?

Thanks
(it is a widget that displays poker quiz questions)

This looks like only two links instead of a widget... can you probably give a link to the widget you want to use? Then I could extract the code for you...

I will get it......
