Hi,

I need to have a functionality to give any user a script to embed any node in their site/blog.
No graphical modification is needed to the node, just really to make the script on the fly.

Can I do it somehow with the API module which is delivered with this embed_widgets module package?
If not, any ideas of how to do this?

Please note a similar issue which have been opened more than 6 month ago and was not addressed: http://drupal.org/node/355667

Thanks!

I think that this is a good direction to take this module and is not too difficult to implement. I have started to implement this and have it nearly working with nodes and blocks.

One reason I avoided this early on was that in the previous version, there were too many variables to pass in via a URL to render a widget. The URL became too long and did not work on many servers. Since most of those variables have been moved to the theme layer and no longer exist in widgets themselves, this is now doable.

Thanks John!

Do you have any estimation as for when you might release it?
Would you like me to test the module when ready?

till then, any module that you know about which may help me with this?

Rss'ed to your blog :-)

This has been implemented in the latest dev release. Here are some examples of how to create widgets:

<?php
// Node widget. Second argument is nid.
$node_widget = embed_widgets_new('node', 123);

// Block widget. Second arg is module, third is delta.
$block_widget = embed_widgets_new('block', 'module', 'delta');

// Views widget. Second arg is view id, third is view display.
$views_widget = embed_widgets_new('view', 'view_id', 'display');


// To get the widget embed code:
$code = $widget->get_code();

// Display the widget
print $code;

?>
