Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
Mark Weitzel may be able to provide some insight.
Currently in Jive 7 (or current cloud) the only supported Tiles are:
- Gallery Tile: Design and JSON Schema
- Calendar Tile: Design and JSON Schema
- List Tile: Design and JSON Schema
- Table Tile: Design and JSON Schema
- Gauge Tile: Design and JSON Schema
Unsure of a specific roadmap for future tiles, but something we can look into. Lets see what Mark has to say.

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
Thanks Ryan, we have a client looking to integrate an external media gallery as a tile, thus the need for iFraming.
I've seen the video tile in use in the sandbox, which presumably uses iFrames to embed youtube videos. Any chance of getting access to this tile definition/code?

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
Scott, ran into holiday issues with escalation. Will talk with Mark Weitzel today and see if there is any roadmap information we can share. Stay tuned.

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
I did a check back then, and there was no IFRAME tile definition on the roadmap. I can ask again; however, this seems a bit unlikely based on the response I got last time. If you can give some use-cases, I can try sharing them with the team; however, I provided 5-6 different ones that I could think of around 3rd party snippets and simplified clipping of portal information and there wasn't enough meat behind them. Perhaps you'll have the silver bullet? =) Let me know, happy to run this back up the flag pole (and respond to the thread this time) =)

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
I think your use cases are solid. Outside of that, I thought iframe would be the avenue to use when creating anything outside Gallery/Calendar/List/Table/Gauge look and function. For instance how could you recreate the 'Ask a Question' widget as a Tile? Or create a search tile, or a gamification like leaderboard, or custom looking links (like you have on left for the Developers space), or custom shared HTML snippets. We just moved to 7 so I'm just starting to develop some tiles and understand how they work so maybe there's a different way to accomplish these type of things I don't really need an iframe type. So if there's something else I can use great, point me in that direction, because don't really need an iframe to support my uses cases. I just thought custom HTML/JS/CSS things like that Jive might want running in an iframe so it wouldn't interfere with that page as a whole.

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
The big element that we dont want to lose site of in regards to Tiles is the fact that they are purposefully meant to separate data from presentation. As we move forward into mobile times, insuring fidelity across all devices is a big focus ... and when you open up a generic IFRAME, that gets put into jeopardy.
If all you want to do is custom JS/CSS/HTML, then you can use the HTML Widget not a Tile... and attach files to the place...and put all your customizations there. That is the best option without using IFRAMES at the moment. Does that make sense?

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
Hi Ryan Rutan, Is it possible to develop a custom tile using node.js for iFrame ? If there is any example or documents please provide

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
but Ryan Rutan the html widget clips off the js or external css only allowing inline css. so how would an admin for a group be able to achieve it.

I don't believe that is true. I was playing around with HTML Widgets yesterday and has it loading (and executing) JavaScript and CSS. The two JS files were hosted by two different sites (a Google CDN for jQuery and another CDN for Bootstrap), and the CSS too (hosted on the Bootstrap CDN).
And I didn't do anything special, I just added script/link elements like this...
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Are you seeing something different?

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
It only clips CSS/JS that are not services by Jive. To achieve advanced functionality you will need to upload CSS/JS via the managed files feature in the HTML widget and then reference those resources for the advanced capabilities. This pattern is not so straightforward when bringing in a canned snippet from a third party service however. Hope that helps clarify.

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
thanks Ryan Rutan but it gives me an error. seems the functionality has been disabled by system admin.

Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
That's very odd, can you confirm your Jive version. This feature was designed exactly for this use-case, so not quite sure why it is erroring out on you. Will need to ask engineering.
-
Re: Is there an IFrame Tile example?
Heard back from some people that use this capability frequently, and suggest that you file a support ticket. The Manage Files is supposed to support JS/CSS/Images ... that can be referenced in the HTML Widget code. Sorry for the delay, juggling conversations.

Ryan Rutan, I think the think that we (me?) are struggling with is that HTML widgets, tiles, and gadgets are all limiting us in some way. If I could use a gadget on the page it would be perfect. But nope, I am limited as to where a gadget can appear so I need to use a tile. But the tile limits me to specific styles, so I need to use an HTML widget. But an HTML widget presents me with other issues, like not being able to push data to the content area, instead I need to pull... but then I can't verify that the user is authorized to view the content.
It would just be nice if I could use a tile, widget, or gadget interchangeably (or maybe show different ones depending on the viewing device). Meaning that any area in Jive that currently allows me to drop in any one of these would ideally allow me to drop in any one of these. If we had that ability we could always use the best tool for the job, but right now we are limited with respect to what tools we can use on a given page.
Anyway, I guess I don't have a question ... just adding some commentary to the discussion. It would be great to know if there is anything on the roadmap that will expand the areas where we can use each of these tools.
Thanks.
