Description of problem

Hello.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was hoping to locate the html code for my "AD WIDGET"
I would like to be able to embed that widget, just like the latest topics 'external' forumotion widget. I have the later embedded on my site, and I would love to embed my scrolling AD Widget in the same manner, on my home site ..off site from forumotion.
Ive searched the back side of my admin and have had no luck finding that code anywhere.
The fact that the ads kind of already 'post as topics', makes it seem like it should be fairly easy to use the other module in the same manner as the external widget, or maybe alter the code title{Latest+Discussion} to point at the AD widget instead of the latest topics widget?

Thanks for the info. I look forward to hearing your opinions.-Mace

Do you mean the top widget (classified ads) on the left side?

Embedding an Active Directory (AD) widget in HTML involves using Microsoft Graph API. Here's a concise example:

Code:: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>AD Widget</title> </head> <body> <div id="ad-widget-container"></div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () { // Use Microsoft Graph API for AD integration // Authentication and API call logic here // Example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/javascript }); </script> </body> </html>

The actual code would depend on the specific requirements of the AD widget you're trying to embed. It's crucial to refer to the Microsoft Graph API documentation and the documentation of the specific widget or component you are working with.

This example assumes a simple scenario, and you might need additional configurations and considerations based on your specific use case. Ensure that your application complies with security best practices, especially when dealing with authentication and authorization.

@khanzain123 as the user specified, AD is the classified ads widget by forumotion - not active directory as you intended Embarassed

It is not unfortunately....I have not had any replys with the info I'm looking for. I didn't want to repost to bump it, so I've just been waiting for someone to actually come up with a definitive yes, or no. Thanks.

@Mace Hathaway Sadly there isn't a direct option to integrate it as you would like to Embarassed

The only way to probably do what you'd like to do is to display the widget somewhere on your forum, and then "load it" from an external website. But the widget will always have to be visible somewhere on the forum, otherwise it cannot be retrieved.

Could this be an option?

by Mace Hathaway February 14th 2024, 8:23 pm

Thank you Niko....yes that would def be an option....I would love to figure out how to do that...please and thank you!

by Niko February 14th 2024, 9:11 pm

@Mace Hathaway can you add the widget on your forum, and give me the link to the page where it is?

by Mace Hathaway February 22nd 2024, 8:44 pm

Thank you Niko....yes I will
I'm a traveling musician, I'm away from my computer a ton, and I'm just returning home...I do have it on my site already, so I just need to get you the link
Thanks for your response, and sorry on my slow response.

by Mace Hathaway February 22nd 2024, 8:52 pm

The Widget is in a couple plces at my site, but the easiest it is on my home page actually.... caboodlz.com which is just a redirect to the forumotion page caboodlz.forumotion.com
Classified AD Widget in the top left corner.

I already use the forumotion external widget....on my home music website mace-hathaway.com and I'd love it If I could also use the Classified AD widget there as well.

Thanks for your help...lots of driving and shows in the next few days, so I likely will not get back to this thread until next week.

Good afternoon!

Ive searched the back side of my admin and have had no luck finding that code anywhere.

The Ads widget code is not available to forum administrators.

I already use the forumotion external widget....on my home music website

The widgets we're talking about in this topic have different implementations.
You insert a link to the topics widget in the iframe block and it works without problems, but the ads widget doesn't have a link and the widget can only be loaded via JS.
I think we may be running into a CORS security policy that prohibits sharing data between sites of different domains.

Try pasting this code on your site. This is a trial code that loads the first slide in the ad widget.

Code:: <div class="ads_section"> </div> <script> window.addEventListener('load', function() { const adsSection = document.querySelector('.ads_section'); $.ajax({ url: 'https://caboodlz.forumotion.com', method: "GET", data: 'topiclist', dataType: "html", success: function (data) { let div = document.createElement('div'); div.innerHTML = data; let find_el = div.querySelector('.module.borderwrap .box-content'); adsSection.append(find_el); }, error: function (xhr, status, error) { console.log("AJAX request error:" + error); }, }); }); </script>
