Embed External Widget Into Sidebar

[Adina Gaskin]

Hi

Newbie here!

Im trying to add a wider that updates daily to my wiki.

Ive already figured out how to add a tab to the sidebar but cant figure out how to get the actual widget to display

Ive spent the last 2 hours going through the group and nothing I found works...

Can someone please advise or direct me where to look or if theres already a plugin?

The widget code is 

<div id="widget_coa_container" lat="40.71427" lng="-74.00597" place="New York City, New York, United States"><a id="coa_astro" href="https://astro-charts.com"></a></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://astro-charts.com/client/common/widget/js/widget-coa.min.js"></script>

Thanks in advance!

Welcome Adina!

I'm afraid it is not trivial to add javascript widgets to TW. It is possible but you have to use the special js wrapping for it. This is intentional, for security reasons.

BTW, when we say "widgets" here, we refer to TiddlyWiki Widgets so better make it very clear if you refer to something else than these.

Thank you Mat. I will see if I can figure out something else then.

Note taken ;)

Hi Adina

In this particular case, I think the easiest way to proceed would be to create a separate HTML page following their instructions just containing the widget you want to use, and then to use an iframe to embed that page in your TiddlyWiki. You’ll need to have somehow to host the HTML file.

Best wishes

Jeremy
