Hi Everyone

 is there a way of embedding Slideshare offerings in Mahara? I have tried the embed command but without luck. Any advice appreciated.

Hi, I may be missing something here, but I'm not quite sure how the SideShare filter is supposed to work.

Using Mahara 1.1.3

Under Administration > Administer Extensions > HTML Filters >Installed I can see http://slideshare.net.

However, Im not quite sure how to add a Slideshare to a Mahara view. If I use an External Video from Files, Images and Video and copy and paste the SlideShare 'embed' code it does not work - just a title with no content.

If I use a a Text Box from General, and add the SlideShare 'embed' code in HTML-editing mode, I get appropriate functional links to  slideshare.net, but not the 'embedded' presentation I was expecting.

Am I just expecting too much?

This is still an issue for me as well. We are running Mahara 1.1.3 and have the slideshare filter installed, but I'm unable to display a slideshare by using a Text Box and pasting in the embed code. Just like Geoff describes, it just shows a title and no content.

 You can see my Mahara portfolio and how the slideshare embeds by seeing my portfolio at: http://moodle.castilleja.org/eportfolio/view/view.php?id=4 . The slidshare element is in the upper right hand corner. I also tried this on my test portfolio that I keep at the Mahara.org site and the same behavior was exhibited. 

Thanks,

Hi - I just had a dig around, and discovered that the filter was out of date as slideshare had moved their flash player to a new URL (on slidesharecdn.com). I've updated the filter and it's committed now, so the fix will be in the next release!

If you're interested, the diff is here:  http://git.mahara.org/?p=mahara.git;a=commitdiff;h=cf0f9d37c84718511cfba4a171a9ae4f932d2bae

Hi,

same problem here with slideshare? How to I integrate this filter into my installation?

thx Alex

All versions from 1.1.4 onwards have the fixed filter already, I believe. You might need to upgrade.

If you're using a newer version and it's still not working, paste the URL to your slideshare presentation here so we can have a double check to make sure it works.

Tried it again with some other presentations:

I get appropriate functional links to  slideshare.net, but not the 'embedded' presentation I was expecting.
