Will Slideshare be embeddable in Jive SBS 4.0?

Hi I've had a few people enquire about Slideshare and whether it will be easily embeddable in Jive SBS 4.0?

 

Any clarification will be much appreciated.

Hey Lars,

In fact, it is fairly straight-forward to embed slideshare presentations.

 

Here's how I embedded the above-

1.  Copied the embed code from slideshare

Slideshare embed 1.jpg

 

2. Clicked on the >> button within the text editor and then selected 'Insert Raw HTML' from the drop down menu

slideshare embed 2.jpg

3.  Then just hit paste and pasted the embed code in and published.

 

Hope that helps.  I agree that it would be nice though if we just had it as part of a drop down menu similar to what's inside the video insert button.

As I see yours does as well.

 

Hey Lars,

 

Are you referring to Adam's post earlier in this thread? What browser are you using?

 

Thanks,

Vinh

Lars,

 

I would recommend updating to the latest version of flash player - the above slideshare works fine for me.

Hi. It doesn't work for me either, and I've tried it in multiple browsers, and on multiple machines. I am running the latest flash player. The only way I can get slides to play is in an HTML widget and not within the RTE using the HTML editor or the >> menu.

Hi April,

 

Your issue might be different - to have slideshare work within your site, you will need to have the slideshare plugin installed - SlideShare Macro

Hi Curtis,

 

I would never have installed the plugin you have linked to, since there's no indication it's compatible with recent versions of Jive SBS. Has it, in fact, been tested with 3.0 and 4.0? If so, it would be helpful to update the download page.

There does not seem to be a definitive resolution to this question in this thread. I'm running the latest version of FF and I don't see the embedded slideshow, either.

 

It sounds like the answer is (a) yes, it *will* be embeddable but (b) there may be bugs at this point, since we out here aren't seeing it working.

 

(And I just upgraded to the latest Flash player and it made no difference.)
