Any suggestion on how to embed eidogo on wordpress?

Thought about enhancing my blog with eidogo but sadly doesn't seem to work.

Seems to work fine.

Upload the files to your server.
Go to the HTML editor in the Wordpress post page, and paste the code as follows:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mcelhearn.com/eidogo/player/js/all.compressed.js"></script>
<div class="eidogo-player-auto" sgf="http://www.mcelhearn.com/eidogo/sgf/example.sgf"></div>

(Replace the paths, obviously, with those for your server.)

Works fine: http://www.mcelhearn.com/2010/10/11/testing-eidogo/

Edit: Ah, wait, yours is a Wordpress.com blog; I don't think you can use it, unless you have someplace where you can store the files. If you really need it, and don't have another server, I could host the files for you; you'd just have to send me the sgf files, and take care of naming them correctly.

You could use my EidoGo for Wordpress plugin that makes it all easy.

Ah, you can embed the file. Thing is, I don't think Wordpress.com blogs allow plug-ins...

Yeah, wordpress.com is quite restrictive about what you can do. It's the tradeoff for a site that requires zero configuration and can't get Fireballed.

Yep!!! I thought exactly the same. It's very easy to use, so I couldn't figure out what was tchan001 messing with...

I need something which works with wordpress.com blogs. I don't host my blog on my own server and apparently wordpress.com doesn't work with coded objects which are not from it's trusted partners.

You will not be able to use Eidogo with a Wordpress.com hosted blog. Javascript is only supported indirectly through certain shortcodes.

You could petition them to add an Eidogo shortcode, but I would imagine the chances of them doing so are rather remote.

If you really want Javascript, you may need to find another host for your blog.

Thanks for the info about your plugin. I've installed it on my new self-hosted version of my blog and it works great!

I like the Wordpress.com stuff, but ultimately found it too limiting. I eventually moved to a self-hosted version so that I could create my own theme and get plugins like this to work. When I hosted my blog on Wordpress.com, I always hosted my .sgf files on Eidgo and then linked to them from my blog. While I very much appreciate the ability to do this, I much prefer having the game records inline on my site.

How about Goswf? It works remotely and it has beautiful graphic. You could use the web application on Vietnam Go Community web page: http://vncovay.org/vnkifu/index.php

It's in Vietnamese but easy to figure it out. ;-)

After uploading, you could open the SGF and find the code line ready for the kifu to be embedded on your wordpress blog
