Text widget problem
-
I have managed to put an image from a text widget on for one site, but can’t seem to get the following one to show:
<small>Visit UK Food Bloggers Association</small>The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
That’s because you’re not allowed to use Flash or Javascript here and code is automatically stripped out. Please see this:
Howevery you may be able to use a shortcode:

As AOB said, that’s not the code for an image, it’s the code for a flash file. To insert this object you need to turn the code to this:
[gigya wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/swf/badge.swf?xn_version=124632088" FlashVars="backgroundColor=0xCC33CC&textColor=0xFFCCFF&config=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ukfba.co.uk%2Fmain%2Fbadge%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fxg_source%3Dbadge%26size%3Dsmall%26username%3D2urqwwcgr0s3l" width="206" height="104" bgColor="#CC33CC" scale="noscale" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" ] <a href="http://www.ukfba.co.uk">Visit <em>UK Food Bloggers Association</em></a>For more on this see here:

Thanks for these suggestions, however, I’m nto techy and find most of the lanuguage in the links from AOB a bit above my head!
Thanks for the new code justpi, that sort of works, but I have directional arrows (like on excel) around the badge – is there any way to remove those?
-
You’re welcome.
I’m not seeing any arrows. You can try decreasing the dimensions. What browser and version are you using? -
Aha!
I’ve just logged in with Google Chrome and the arrows have disappeared!! Thank you!!!
I have another badge that’s not showing – how do I know what bits in the code need changing?
-
You’re welcome.
“how do I know what bits in the code need changing?”
Depends on the code. If it’s flash, you can study the post I already linked to:

If you can’t figure it out, paste the code here between backticks (see the note on “Allowed markup”). -
<embed wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/swf/badge.swf?v=201202272216" flashvars="backgroundColor=0xFF99FF&textColor=0x663300&config=http%3A%2F%2Fsupperclubfangroup.ning.com%2Fmain%2Fbadge%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fxg_source%3Dbadge%26size%3Dmedium%26username%3D2jqs22kh0ge4a" width="206" height="174" bgcolor="#FF99FF" scale="noscale" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </embed><br /><small><a href="http://supperclubfangroup.ning.com">Visit <em>Find a Supper Club, become a fan</em></a></small><br /> -
This code is exactly like the first one you pasted. You convert it the same way, i.e. by turning this:
<embed wmode="ETC ETC ETC ETC"> </embed>
to this:
[gigya wmode="ETC ETC ETC ETC" ] -
This doesn’t work either – however I did some digging on the site I got the from, and apparently it doesn’t work on WP for anyone!
Thanks for all your help though.

If it didn’t work I wouldn’t be telling you how it works. Copypaste this and see for yourself:
[gigya wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/swf/badge.swf?v=201202272216" flashvars="backgroundColor=0xFF99FF&textColor=0x663300&config=http%3A%2F%2Fsupperclubfangroup.ning.com%2Fmain%2Fbadge%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fxg_source%3Dbadge%26size%3Dmedium%26username%3D2jqs22kh0ge4a" width="206" height="174" bgcolor="#FF99FF" scale="noscale" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" ] -
Well you are a clever so-and-so…in the nicest possible way of course!! ;0)
I thought I did what you’d suggested, but maybe I just don’t have the magic touch!
What’s your blog called?
-
If what you tried didn’t work, then you made some mistake: even one missing quotation mark will make the code invalid.
