Hi everybody,
I would like to embed a Pinterest board into a K2 item.
I copied and pasted the script released by Pinterest, but no way...
Is there a problem with Javascript?
Is there anyone who can give me any hint?
Thanks a lot
Katia

Hi. Is there a link to your site? Where have you copied the script?

I copied the script released by Pinterest and including my Pinterest board as follows:

<a data-pin-do="embedBoard" href="www.pinterest.com/bassastyle/cavezzo-vecchi-merletti/" data-pin-scale-width="115" data-pin-scale-height="120" data-pin-board-width="900">
<!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page -->
<script type="text/javascript" async src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

What it produces when pasted into a K2 item is just a simple link to the Pinterest board and no board embedding at all.
Does it have to do with Javascript settings?

Thanks for replying :)

It is more of an editor setting.
Editors usually strip js tags. You can either tweak your editor's settings or you can use a custom HTML module/ k2 Tools module and use the {loadposition} method.

Thanks very much Krikor!
Only thing I did not catch is the {loadposition} method. What do you mean?
In facts, I am also trying to guess how to place this embedded Pinterest board inside a K2 item.
Are you so kind and indicate me a good solution?

Hello Katia,

This is what I mean: docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F

This will also work for K2 items.

If you wish to publish the same board in all K2 items, then this solution is not for you.
You should search this board to see how to

a) Override your item.php file
b) Place modules outside your index.php file.

If you choose to override this post will help you.

Thanks Krikor!
I was able to embed the Pinterest board into the K2 item.
Now, what shall I do if I want each K2 item/article to have its own correspondent Pinterest board embedded?
Basically: 1 article = 1 board.
Sorry for bothering you again, but I feel we are now close to the solution! :)

You are not bothering me at all.
If you want each item to have its own board, then pasting the code in the editor sounds like a good solution.

Having 400 items and 400 modules doesn't sound really good.

You are possibly right Krikor, but this is where all the problem began.
My first attempt was to copy and paste the code directly into the item editor.
But the item in the frontend was showing just a link to the board, no widget; now that I am trying to have it pasted into the same page as the board module I created following your instructions, what you see from the fronted is the code itself! :dry:
I am using Joomla 3.2.4, by the way.
Any hint..? :blink:

Sure, each editor has its settings, either on the plugin or if you are using JCE on the component view.

You have to make sure that <script> tags are allowed and not stripped.
In TinyMCE's settings (plugin settings) you need to remove script from the "Prohibited Elements" list.
