HOW TO Embed Wave in to Blogger Blog? Step by Step guide / workarounds to embed wave into blogger blog

Share |

I have explained the way to embed a wave into website or blog and add multiple wave into web site or web page. But which doesn't seem to work for the blogger blog. As per this guide if we place the given code before in the HTML Template of the blog then you may get the following error as shown in the bellow image:
"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

Hence here I am going to publish some easy step by step guide for the work around which I have found.

Workaround 1: Use the script with escaped HTML characters as shown in the following steps:

• Log in to www.blogger.com and go to Layout for the blog in which you would like to embed wave.
• Now you are at Layout->Page Elements. Now "Edit HTML" link to go edit HTML template of your blog.
• Here the first thing you need to do is take a back of your HTML template. Hence you can restore it later if you wanted to undo changes (Click here to know how to backup and restore HTML template for blogger’s blog)
• Then click on Checkbox for Expand Widget Templates to view complete HTML Code of your blog.
• Once it is done scroll down to the end of the HTML Template code. Here you can find </body> tag, just before </body> tag copy and paste following code:
  
  

  <script src="http://wave-api.appspot.com/public/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <center><a href="http://technical-tejash.blogspot.com/2009/12/embed-wave-in-to-blogger-blog.html">Embed Wave to Blogger</a></center>

  var div = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
  
  for (var i = 0; i < div.length; i++) {
  if( div[i].id.substr(0, 5) == 'wave_' ) {
  var id = div[i].id.substr(5, div[i].id.length-5);
  
  var wave = new WavePanel('https://wave.google.com/wave/');
  wave.setUIConfig('white', 'black', 'Arial', '13px');
  wave.loadWave('googlewave.com!w+' + id);
  wave.init(document.getElementById(div[i].id));
  }
  }
  </script>
  
  

• After this click on "SAVE TEMPLATE" link to save the template. This time you can be able to successfully save the template.

  var wavePanel = new WavePanel('http://wave.google.com/wave/');
  wavePanel.loadWave('googlewave.com!w+waveID');
  wavePanel.init(document.getElementById('waveframe'));

What is Wave ID?
Ans: Wave ID is unique ID of the Wave which you can use to embed the particular Wave into your Website, Web Page or blog or any thing else.
I have written article on creating public wave and how to embed wave in to website or blog. Here I need to explain how can you get Wave ID which you can use to share your wave on website or blog.

• Log in to http://wave.google.com
• Then go to Inbox or All to get list of waves
• Click on the wave to open the wave
• Once the wave is opened you can get the wave's unique URL from the address bar which will be similar "https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BZZjLgImEV.2"
• This URL will end with "googlewave.com!w%252BZZjLgImEV.2" here what ever after "googlewave.com!w%252B" and before dot "." i.e. "ZZjLgImEV" is the wave id for my wave.
• Note: the unique URL can be "https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BZZjLgImEV.1" or "https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BZZjLgImEV" also i.e. it can end with .1 or .2 or .3 .. Or if it does not have dot "." at the end then any thing after googlewave.com!w%252B is the wave id.

Creating Public Wave : How To Make your wave as Public Wave or Provide Everyone Access on Google Wave?

Share |

Finally, I got invitation from Google to access the Google Wave. It is really gr8 way to communicate with the people on Google Wave. Currently you can get Google Wave by invitation only either form Google or if your friend who has Google Wave can invite you. I and many of my friend got the wave, I was just experimenting Google Wave features and gone though wave help article http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=162099 to create public wave.

This seems to has insufficient information. I search on Google and found out a way to create a Wave with public access or grant existing wave to public access. Hence, I thought of writing this article to provide complete information about creating public wave or granting public / everyone access to existing wave.

As per Google Help you need to add "public@a.googlewave.com" to your wave and your wave will become public as shown in the bellow images. But many users are getting error "public@a.googlewave.com is not a Google Wave account." as shown in the bellow image.

There is an alternate solution you can try to add the "public@a.googlewave.com" in your google wave contact list. This may fail by showing following error.

In this case there is another work around using a bot "easypublic@appspot.com" to make your wave public. Add "easypublic@appspot.com" in your wave

And it will make your wave a public wave by automatically adding "public@a.googlewave.com" in to your wave.

Note: You might need to add "easypublic@appspot.com" to your contacts before adding it to Wave as follows:
