I've seen several forum threads pointing to using gigya, including a post on how to do so. I've tried it already, and I'm not having any success. Admittedly, I'm quite the amateur when it comes to html (that's quite the understatement...), so maybe I'm just not getting it. Anyone want to break this down so that a simpleton like myself can understand?

Thanks!

Hope this works for you. At least for me it did the trick.

@justpi:

Now I see the problem. As you can see from melkro's posting above, Tripline embeds the whole flash part into it's own object, which is actually not needed. In the surrounding "<object>" code they are using the definition "<param name="flashVars" ...". Within the actual "<embed>" code section they are using "flashVars=...". I mixed that up a little bit.

then turn the initial

thanks for your reply. I converted the statement to:

Is the conversion above correct? Any further ideas regarding this issue?

I am working on the same issue. I found the following on the Tripline Website. They say, that embedding the tripline map in a wordpress.com Blog doesn't work and you have to use the thumbnail version instead, which is very inconvenient.

I tried to convert the embed code according to http://wpbtips.wordpress.com. The code looks like as follows:

[gigya src="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#111111" tripId="0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0" tripDataUrl="http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0 version=".2" mapsApiKey="ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg" onSite="0"]

The original code provided by tripline looks as follows:

<object width="512" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" />
<param name="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#111111" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="flashVars" value="tripId=0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0&tripDataUrl=http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0?version=.2&mapsApiKey=ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg&onSite=0" />
<embed src="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#111111" flashVars="tripId=0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0&tripDataUrl=http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0?version=.2&mapsApiKey=ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg&onSite=0">
</embed>
</object>

However, this loads the flash object but this one itself complains about "Missing configuration parameters". So something might have gone wrong during the conversion process to the "gigya" markup.
