Graham Quince Posted April 7, 2018 Author Posted April 7, 2018 OK - finally got a chance to rewrite the tutorial for the new widget: https://www.frogeducation.com/community/tutorials/html-tutorials/external-links I've left the original code in there too, but @Simon Law's widget makes it sooooo much easier 1

ADT Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Erm... how do you get a tab to open a site... rather than a page that has a button on that will open a site??

Link to another site In order to link to another site, we need the Site's alias (named link in the developer tools). To get this link, we have create a bookmarklet for Google Chrome browsers. so the link that looks like /adriantate/somesitehere/ are you trying to use my frogcode widget or the HTML widget code?

Graham Quince Posted June 22, 2018 Author Posted June 22, 2018 Looks like the bookmarklet was screwed up. Try it now.
ADT Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 At least it wasn't me!! But really all you need to do is add something like what Simon said... /adriantate/somesitehere/ and it'll work!! So you don't need the bookmarklet!!
ADT Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 While I'm on about broken things.... can someone fix the Template Creator Frog Code Widget that "he who shall not be named" made for me before he left!!! When clicked it automatically uses a template I have selected and just creates a site!!! Thanks in advance!! @Graham Quince @Simon Law

Thanks in advance!! @Graham Quince @Simon Law That sounds like it's not broken, care to divulge what it does that is not what it should be doing? HWSNBN's stuff tends to land on my plate now

HWSNBN's stuff tends to land on my plate now ok, I have had a look at the widget code and it launches the site creation wizard, with the given site/template you selected. I can see a failure point if you have selected a site rather than a template as the wizard can only select a template from school templates that you can see, otherwise it defaults to the default template. I don't know whether it 'missed out' the whole wizard process and just created the site, a kind of fast track?

Sometimes it easier to explain over the phone!!! If you hop onto our platform and from the staff dashboard check out the Classroom>New Workspaces>KS3 page! The button used to skip to the "Site Details bit" of the wizard (using the KS3 Template), giving staff a chance to name/theme the workspace before its added to the site list on that page! It doesn't seam to want to do anything anymore? I did ask for a button I could put on a site so it could be deleted directly rather than having to go through Frog drive but I never got that... just you know... while you are on!!

Found the little critter!! OK, your observation was strange until you realise what was happening. The sitecreationwizard is a whole load of javascript that is dragged into the platform on demand, unfortunately in the case of the widget, it was not loading it in prior to trying to call it. A bit like trying to eat a pizza before you've actually ordered it. So, if you log out then log in again, go to the plus circle, select site, wait for the site wizard to appear, then cancel it, then go to your button, it will work That can be fixed ... but next week 1
