Update on this. There seems to be a whole series of problems with the code I posted in http://www.hayriverti.org/seeds.xml Here is what I have found out so far. The iframe in http://www.hayriverti.org/seed-library can be seen by itself here http://8g70vehon7uhaojqv0bshkq7honkrikq-a-sites-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.hayriverti.org/seeds.xml&container=enterprise&view=default&lang=en&country=ALL&sanitize=0&v=4fd4b5b0d6da245a&libs=core&mid=65&parent=http://www.hayriverti.org/seed-library# It is a bit easier to see the generated HTML this way. Working with alert(); and the JavaScript error console I found out that // window.SimileAjax_onLoad = loadExhibit; //this didn't run loadExhibit but this one does poll(window, [ "includeData" ], loadExhibit);
With the SimileAjax_onLoad in place both loadExhibit and onEverythingLoaded code was not being executed. In loadExhibit // SimileAjax.includeJavascriptFiles(document, "", [ " http://api.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/3.1.0rc3/exhibit-api.js"; ]);//throws an error but this does not window.Exhibit.includeJavascriptFiles(document, "", [ " http://api.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/3.1.0rc3/exhibit-api.js"; ]); This line might not be needed as http://api.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/3.1.0rc3/exhibit-api.js should have already loaded with loadJS(" http://api.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/3.1.0rc3/exhibit-api.js";); In onEverythingLoaded window.database = Exhibit.Database.create(); does not create a database or at one point I was getting a Javascript null value for window.database . In http://api.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/3.1.0rc3/scripts/data/database.js it looks like there should be a "type" parameter. Exhibit.Database.create = function(type) { if (typeof Exhibit.Database[type] !== "undefined") { return new Exhibit.Database[type](); } else { // warn? return new Exhibit.Database._LocalImpl(); } }; What should this type be? //window.database.loadDataLinks(); I get an error of window.database.loadDataLinks is not a function when it is not commented out. I could not find loadDataLinks in the Exhibit list of .js files. Has this been changed in the 3.x versions?
