  • @phenomlab the convo we started on nodebb forum, I thought to continue it here.
    Still having the issue of links not loading often in widgets
    Have you been able to take a look?

  • A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below

    <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe>
    

    This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @Panda not yet, will do so later. For continuity, can you provide the code here that you want to use?

    @phenomlab yes, its just a quiz.

    <script src="https://www.classmarker.com/public/js/embed-classmarker-1.0.0.js?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" data-quiz="gag66aea7922f0a5" data-width="700" data-height="800" ></script>
    

    The fact this is so problematic makes me wonder if something should be built into the widget code in nodebb to sort whatever the timing issue is, that causes loading to fail

    @Panda I’ll test this and revert. Will get back to you later.

    @Panda It’s not caused by NodeBB, but the way you are calling the URL - see the error message below reported in the console

    embed-classmarker-1.0.0.js?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5:7  Uncaught TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL
        at __createIframe (embed-classmarker-1.0.0.js?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5:7:80)

    @Madchatthew said in TNG + Nodebb: you have to try and use duck tape and super glue to change something to make it do what you want it to do I couldn’t have put that better myself.

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.
