Can't get embedder to work

bramroos

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get the embedder to work. I'm able to display a single file through the anchor tag but I would like to use the embedder. Could not find the answer on this forum unfortunately. The following is not working for me. Is there something I'm missing?

Working on localhost and Wordpress development.

 

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="appkey"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var options = {
	// Shared link to Dropbox file
	link: "https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tcvwr7atlybzb2f/AAArhYK6_____n8P-SDeRRzZa?dl=0",
	file: {
		// Sets the zoom mode for embedded files. Defaults to 'best'.
		zoom: "best" // or "fit"
	},
	folder: {
		// Sets the view mode for embedded folders. Defaults to 'list'.
		view: "list", // or "grid"
		headerSize: "normal" // or "small"
	}
	}
	Dropbox.embed(options, element);

</script>

 

 

Hoping for some clues.

 

Many thanks,

Bram

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say it is "not working"? For example, what error or unexpected output or result do you get? Make sure you check the JavaScript console for any errors, for instance.

 

Looking at the code you shared here, I don't see where "element" is defined. Do you have that defined? That needs to the be element on your page where you want to put the Embedder.

 

For example, if you have an element on your page like this:

<div id="embedder_container"></div>

 

Then you might define 'element' like this:

var element = document.getElementById("embedder_container");
