*** SOLVED *** TRIP ADVISOR - Inserting a Widget

[ColinM]

Online Example: HERE

Project Extract Download: HERE


Hi Pablo and All,

I'm trying to insert a Trip Advisor(TA) widget into a Client's website.

I've got authorised within their TA account, obtained the widget code and added into a html container.

It works, but when it loads it momentarily displays a very large TA logo then the widget - see Online Example.

Anyone experienced that/know how to get around it please?

Try this mate:

<div id="TA_selfserveprop317" class="TA_selfserveprop"><ul id="mvvkHH9" class="TA_links cfx9J6KB"><li id="IjKJb8ZU" class="ZaMZmO6Rm"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Hotel_Re ... iv><script async src="https://www.jscache.com/wejs?wtype=self ... _version=2" data-loadtrk onload="this.loadtrk=true"></script>

Thanks Zinc! - I had to quote your post to resolve the PHP Bulletin Board truncated URLs which came to this, using BB code tags:

Code: Select all

<div id="TA_selfserveprop317" class="TA_selfserveprop"><ul id="mvvkHH9" class="TA_links cfx9J6KB"><li id="IjKJb8ZU" class="ZaMZmO6Rm"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Hotel_Review-g10429989-d15319104-Reviews-The_Travellers_Rest_B_B-Tenterden_Western_Australia.html"></li></ul></div><script async src="https://www.jscache.com/wejs?wtype=selfserveprop&amp;uniq=317&amp;locationId=15319104&amp;lang=en_AU&amp;rating=true&amp;nreviews=4&amp;writereviewlink=true&amp;popIdx=true&amp;iswide=true&amp;border=true&amp;display_version=2" data-loadtrk onload="this.loadtrk=true"></script>

Strangely enough, it works isolated in that project extract but the initial big logo display still occurs if I embed that code in HTML container on the Client's site. Maybe it's a load issue.

Strange! it worked with your project!

Code: Select all

<div id="TA_selfserveprop317" class="TA_selfserveprop"><ul id="mvvkHH9" class="TA_links cfx9J6KB"><li id="IjKJb8ZU" class="ZaMZmO6Rm"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Hotel_Review-g10429989-d15319104-Reviews-The_Travellers_Rest_B_B-Tenterden_Western_Australia.html"></li></ul></div><script async src="https://www.jscache.com/wejs?wtype=selfserveprop&amp;uniq=317&amp;locationId=15319104&amp;lang=en_AU&amp;rating=true&amp;nreviews=4&amp;writereviewlink=true&amp;popIdx=true&amp;iswide=true&amp;border=true&amp;display_version=2" data-loadtrk onload="this.loadtrk=true"></script>

Try with a new clean project and a new HTML object... Perhaps that might help.

[ColinM]

Yes - agreed - perhaps something is interfering - or it's a load issue.

So what was the difference with your code?

[zinc]

Nothing I guess but the life of me cannot figure out why you are still seeing the logo...

No, I meant what did you change from my original code to make the Big Initial Logo disappear?

Removed the reference to the logo that appears during page load...

Pleasure. Good luck mate!

[ColinM]

Thanks Zinc - got some work to do to find out why the same darn code causes the large Logo on the client page.

Zinc - Found the issue - I wasn't FTPing the fix to the right staging subdirectory - DOH!!!

All good mate! Again, thank you!

Stupid Trip Advisor with that widget code!
