Embedding a wists wishlist?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am unable to embed a wishlist from wists.com, though their website states I should be able to. They’re not specific on the steps, so I used a text widget and input the required coding. The link shows up, but not the actual flash images.

    Has anyone been able to do it successfully before and am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks!

    Remember that when they say “works on WordPress” they generally mean WP.org, not WP.com. We cannot use flash at all on our blogs. Here’s the explanation of the difference:

    If they offer an HTML-only (ie no flash or javascript) wishlist, you can use that.

    Oh and the code is:
    <embed src="http://www.wists.com/wizard/index.swf" FlashVars="feed=http://www.wists.com/runawayoctober/?out=mrss&scrolling=h&speed=1&border=10&spacingY=1&spacingX=1&thumbFrame=2&thumbFrameColor=#000000&frameColor=#663300&tipOver=on&tipFont=Arial&tipSize=12&tipColor=#a00000&bgColor=#ffffff" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="transparent" width="145" height="108" name="index" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial"><a href="http://wists.com/runawayoctober">my wists</a> | <a href="http://wists.com/wizard/embedcode.php/?embed_number=embed_7&feed=runawayoctober&extlink=1" target="_blank">clone this</a></div>

    I wanted to add that wists has a static image wishlist that doesn’t use flash like the scrolling one does.

    @runawayoctober
    The code you posted is shockwave flash which is not allowed at wordpress.com for security reasons.
