Hi everyone. I’m having problems using the gigya code to put an issuu document on my website. I followed the code as it looked but after I published it, I got an “Oops, can’t load document…” in the post. For what it’s worth, the original embed code from issuu is below

<div><object style=”width:420px;height:330px” ><param name=”movie” value=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=130223172711-7814242e79d04c2eb3c10ab2247c5953&docName=spring_training_guide_2013&username=thegregzeck&loadingInfoText=Spring%20Training%20Guide%202013&et=1361643614723&er=88″ /><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true”/><param name=”menu” value=”false”/><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”/><embed src=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” allowscriptaccess=”always” menu=”false” style=”width:420px;height:330px” flashvars=”mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=130223172711-7814242e79d04c2eb3c10ab2247c5953&docName=spring_training_guide_2013&username=thegregzeck&loadingInfoText=Spring%20Training%20Guide%202013&et=1361643614723&er=88″ /></object><div style=”width:420px;text-align:left;”>Open publication – Free publishing</div></div>

You can’t embed Issuu directly. See here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/inserting-issuu-docs/ .

Right, I know you can’t do it directly… I saw that page earlier and it was my understanding that if you follow those directions and use the gigya shortcode he provided, it could be done.

I’m having problems doing so. I tried four or five different times using those directions and it wasn’t working

timethief, the link you keep passing ppl on to is old. the embed code now provided by isssuu is much shorter than stated on your link. here is my link:

<div data-configid=”7383864/1936569″ style=”width: 525px; height: 328px;” class=”issuuembed”></div><script type=”text/javascript” src=”//e.issuu.com/embed.js” async=”true”></script>

what do i do to it to get it to show on my blog (fongtasticfood.wordpress.com)

Thank you

“What do i do to it to get it to show on my blog”?
You read my post more carefully.

Quoting:

Click the “Get Embed Code” button on the Issuu page, [Update: then click for “the old embed page”]
