[Plugin: Bublaa Embeddable Forums] Plugin vs. Embed?

[rene-michaels]

Help me understand, is there a benefit to using the plugin vs. just getting the embed code off my bublaa and embedding it into a page?

At the moment it might be simpler to just get the embedded code, but next versions of the plugin will be easier to install. But it’s up to you, which method you prefer.

We have now published a new version of the plugin which is easier to install. Installing and managing different settings are all done through the dashboard. No need to edit any code anymore.

We’re liking the idea of this but need some code that will fit into the sidebar maybe just showing most recent topics in the bubble??? Any chance?

Have you tried the sidebar widget that comes with the plugin? It should do just what described.

If you don’t want to use our wordpress plugin, but wan’t to use sidebar, you could add the following code:

<div id='bublaa-sidebar'></div>
 <style>
  #bublaa-sidebar {
    height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 300px;
    max-height: 600px;
  }
 </style>
 <script type='text/javascript'>
  window.bublaa = {
   config : {
    bubble     : 'add the name of your bubble here!',
    serviceHost: 'https://bublaa.com',
    embeddedUrl: 'add the url of your embedded bubble here!'
   }
  };
 (function() {
  var b = document.createElement('script'); b.type = 'text/javascript'; b.async = true;
  b.src = 'https://bublaa.com/build/sidebar.js';
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(b, s);
 })();
</script>

Remember to edit the name or your bubble and url of your embedded bubble.

Let us know if any of this isn’t working for you!

I’d like to have multiple forums on a single WordPress site, to segment discussions for different audiences e.g. General Forum, Audience 1 Forum, Audience 2 Forum. With the plugin it appears that I can only have one active forum on my site. I tried deactivating the plugin (which deleted the target page!) and embedding code manually, but that didn’t work at all. Any suggestions on how to do this?
