Anyone successfully integrated SIMILE Exhibit into DNN? 

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to integrate a simple SIMILE Exhibit sample page into my DNN site via the Text/HTML module.  I'm using the sample HTML/JS code found here http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/Getting_Started_Tutorial

So far I've confirmed the HTML/JS code works fine if I just upload the files to my site and don't try hosting it inside a DNN Text/HTML module, but of course I want to integrate it into the look and feel of the site.  If anyone's got any ideas I'm all ears.

FYI SIMILE Exhibit is a data visualization component that's done all via Javascript from a third party website, so you just need to provide the data points and Exhibit displays the data within your website.  If you see the homepage for the Exhibit project you'll get the gist of it.

Thanks.

Shawn

Yes, it is simple because basically SIMILE Exhibit it is not in collision with DNN framework. For example you can download module from http://components.init.si - module is not designed for this purpose but you can use it as example. It is commercial but also have free 30 days period so you can download it and use it for test. Go to table settings and add example html code below.

As you can see SIMILE Exhibit sample page works just fine with DNN framework.

I'm sure there is another free module that can be used for same purpose because this is just regular text added to html header and body.

Kind regards,

Primoz

Re: Anyone successfully integrated SIMILE Exhibit into DNN? 

Primoz,

Thanks for the reply.  I'll take a look at that module you referenced and see how it works, but I guess I'm still trying to understand if this is something that can be done with the existing Text/HTML module.  I'm not aware of anywhere within the Text/HTML module where you can define the header block differently from the module header/footer.  If this is something that can be done with the existing Text/HTML I'd love to know more about how that can be done.

Does anyone else have any ideas how this can be done with the existing DNN modules?

Thanks.

Shawn

Re: Anyone successfully integrated SIMILE Exhibit into DNN? 

I'm not sure if this is possible according to SIMILE Exhibit sample because there is link tag that should be included into HTML head element. Existing text/html module do not supports this. This is very basic functionality so you can build your own module. Module should have two text areas only, one for module body and other for HTML head element .

Kind regards,

Primoz
