Permalink Variable?

DRE

Well-known member
I am adding a widget to my forum pages and it's asking for the blog post permalink variable.

Outbrain Widget (Needs Permalink)
Code:
<script language='JavaScript'>
var OB_langJS = 'http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; var OBITm = 'xxxxxx;var OB_raterMode = 'none';var OB_recMode = 'dualBox';
 
var OutbrainPermaLink='DROP_PERMALINK_HERE';
 
if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' )OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = unescape("%3Cscript src=\'http://widgets.outbrain.com/OutbrainWidget.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"); document.write(str); }
</script>

Try adding this code to the PAGE_CONTAINER template...
Code:
<script language='JavaScript'>
var OB_langJS = 'http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; var OBITm = 'xxxxxx;var OB_raterMode = 'none';var OB_recMode = 'dualBox';
 
var OutbrainPermaLink='{$requestPaths.requestUri}';
 
if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' )OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = unescape("%3Cscript src=\'http://widgets.outbrain.com/OutbrainWidget.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"); document.write(str); }
</script>

I tried it but it didn't work.
The permalink is just the URL of the blog post.
So I can use the link of the page for instance? Not working. http://www.8thos.com/pages/test

Code:
<div align="center"><script language='JavaScript'>
var OB_langJS = 'http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; var OBITm = '1337668517274';var OB_raterMode = 'none';var OB_recMode = 'dualBox';
 
var OutbrainPermaLink='http://www.8thos.com/pages/test';
 
if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' )OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = unescape("%3Cscript src=\'http://widgets.outbrain.com/OutbrainRater.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"); document.write(str); }
</script></div>
 
I think they work in a different... first they will cache the page and then add the widget?
else I don't see any reason they will need your permalink...
I dunno. I've been looking for a way to rate games either in my arcade or as a page with embedded flash games.

This is how I found them:

okay, try this:
Code:
<div align="center"><script language='JavaScript'>
var OB_langJS = 'http://widgets.outbrain.com/lang_en.js'; var OBITm = '1337668517274';var OB_raterMode = 'none';var OB_recMode = 'dualBox';
 
var OutbrainPermaLink='{xen:raw $url}';
 
if ( typeof(OB_Script)!='undefined' )OutbrainStart(); else { var OB_Script = true; var str = unescape("%3Cscript src=\'http://widgets.outbrain.com/OutbrainRater.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"); document.write(str); }
</script></div>
if this doesn't work, then I am all out...
 
I'm having this same issue with implementing Outbrain - they give you HTML to paste onto the page, but there's a section in there that needs to reflect the permalink of each page as its loaded.

Is there a way while using something like [bd] Widget Framework - Advanced HTML to paste the Outbrain widget HTML and somehow insert some PHP code /variable reference or something that would get executed to insert the permalink? My hunch is no because under the HTML block it says it will get served as-is.

I tried writing out all of the HTML using javascript doc.writes but that didn't work. The HTML looks something like

Code:
<div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="DROP_PERMALINK_HERE" data-widget-id="12345" data-ob-template=""></div>
