Google Wave – WordPress Integration October 30th, 2009
I thought being as the latest thing is Google Wave, I’d try and integrate a wave into one of my posts making use of the APIs. Remember it is still very buggy (wave integration that is) so don’t be too surprised if this doesn’t work. Also, remember that in order to be able to use Google Wave or even see the wave below you need to have an active account and be logged in, if your not it’ll probably break the post and look a bit rubbish! Here goes:
<<wave now removed owing to lack of support from Google, please contact me if you need further details >>
Here’t the code that I used to make it work:
<head>
<script src="http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/embed.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var wavePanel = new WavePanel('http://wave.google.com/wave/'); wavePanel.loadWave('INSERT YOUR WAVE ID HERE'); wavePanel.init(document.getElementById('waveframe'));
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="waveframe" style="width: 100%; height: 350px">
</div>
</body>
In order to find your wave ID, you’ll need to open Google Wave in your browser and either create a new wave or open an existing one that you want to use, then when the wave is in focus, have a look up in the browsers address bar and make a note of the URL, in my case this is https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BqjsuPV2cI. Next, take a look at the end part after wave: so, googlewave.com!w%252BqjsuPV2cI. Now we need to substritute the part %252B for a + so my wave ID would be googlewave.com!w+qjsuPV2cI
Hope that all makes sense. Enjoy and if you are a wave user, please add to my wave!
