Major frustrations with something that should be simple
-
Hey.. im after a little help please…
im trying to add the following code
<iframe name=”fairplayer” scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ width=”220″ height=”380″ src=”http://official.fm/tracks/218277?fairplayer=large”></iframe>
from http://64barmusic.official.fm/
into http://64barmusic.wordpress.com/64barchallenge-mix-series/64-bar-challenge-vol-5/
for some reason, wordpress strips out the html to be
http://official.fm/tracks/218277?fairplayer=large
Im doing it in the html editor.. anyone have any ideas why?
thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes it’s an iframe code and the software is stripping the code out to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

Oh, thanks.. that does make sense about the iframe.
Official FM does offer wordpress code, and that is http://official.fm/tracks/218277?size=large
But just pasting that into the html editor does not result in a player on the page, any ideas why?
Im befuddled.
Ill try one of those players you pointed me to
thanks timethief

Are you sure you are using the correct code? I would expect it to be a shortcode.
[audio] converts a link to an mp3 file into an audio player. » Full instructions > http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/

http://64barmusic.official.fm/
Thats the url of the page where i can generate the wordpress code.
I know about the [audio] tag… but im not after the standard worpress player.. I was hoping to embed the Official FM player as it has some nice functionality
*scratches head*

Does the code specifically state wordpress.COM or is it simply stating “wordpress”? If it stating “wordpress” without the dot COM then it’s for self hosted wordpress.ORG installs. The two run on different software.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/I wish I could be of more help but I don’t have audio players on my blog. :( Hopefully another Volunteer will be able to help you sort this.

Hmmm… because of what it says down there>>> (copied from this page http://official.fm/users/64barmusic/ )
But… on reflection it probably is for .org :(
thanks anyway

Copy the Myspace code and turn it into a gigya shortcode as explained here:

In order to post code intact in this forum you have to place it between backticks. The backtick, not to be confused with the single quotation mark, is found on the same key as the tilde ~ but in lower case. That key is to the immediate left of the number 1 key.

This is the shortcode you need:
[gigya src="http://official.fm/flash/fairplayer.swf" width="220" height="350" flashvars="feed=http%3A%2F%2Fofficial.fm%2Ftracks%2F218277.xspf&fairplayer=large" wmode="transparent" ]
