Nabble in variants

[Ken Anderson]

Acorn, I just did go back and grab the Nabble embed code. Had originally done it using the Nabble widget, but that was clunky, so killed that and just drew a box and made it a placeholder, pasting in the embed code. Then I made a smaller placeholder on my narrower variant, did the same, leaving it as just ID="nabblelink"; upon doing previews, I got the same result as before, with the variant just showing "Loading" and nothing else happening. Changed that placeholder to ID="nabblelink1" and got the same result. The form referenced in the embed code is my unique identifier for my test Nabble forum, only difference, per your suggestion, is the addition of the digit 1 in the ID. The site in question can be seen at www.intergarten.com/prototype, and it's on page 5. Wide screen looks OK, but narrowing it to where it picks up the variant will show a blank page 5. I've registered on the Nabble forum, and will see if they can suggest a solution. If I get it solved, will post here.

Ken, I took the code of your main Page 5 and added to an IFRAME Placeholder. Your Posts previewed fine. I then created a 480px Variant and simply adjusted the Placeholder width. The Variant previewed fine.

Here is my test file: Widget - NabbleKen.xar

I did remove a spurious style parameter and changed the height parameter to 100%.

Thank you! I'll get this fixed and keep it for future reference. I appreciate your help. This forum is wonderful, and you have helped me many times. Happy New Year!

Acorn: I pasted your code into a placeholder on each page, and voila`... THANK YOU! This site is one of several I use for demo and prototype purposes, and this is a terrific added capability for anyone who would like it added to their site. www.intergarten.com/prototype, Nabble on Page 5. Works far better to do it as a Xara placeholder than to use the Nabble widget in the Content Catalog.

Ken, I never even thought of using Nabble through the Xara Widget as it didn't seem to allow you to reference an existing Nabble account.

@Xara - if you can explain how to embed an existing Nabble account, I am sure others will appreciate it.
