voting widget appears on teaser
The widget appears on teasers because the _nodeapi function should check for full page or teaser view.

Inappropriate?Hi Greggo -
Just wondering what this is in reference to - was the widget appearing where you didn't want it to show up? I'd love to hear what the issue was so that we can make sure we accommodate it in our next release.
Shoot me an email at kate[at]outbrain[dot]com.
Thanks,
Kate

Inappropriate?Hi Kate,
Yup, the widget was appearing on the frontpage of the blog, even though we only display excerpts ("teasers" in drupal-speak) on the front page.
The outbrain.module code displays the widget when the post is being displayed, but it doesn't check to see if the post is being displayed as a teaser or full post.
In my case, I only wanted the widget to appear when the FULL post was being displayed. So in the module, I modified the outbrain_nodeapi function to check for whether the post being displayed was in teaser- or full-page-mode.
The variable to check for is $a3 in the outbrain_nodeapi function. If the post being displayed is in teaser mode, $a3 == TRUE. If it's in full-page mode, $a3 == FALSE.
More info on the _nodeapi hook and the $a3 variable is available here:

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Hi Kate,
Some more notes on my problem.
For some reason, my site (parentingsquad.com) won't verify. I'm getting an "internal error, please try again later" message.
I've been talking to David over email, and I think you (Kate) might be cc'ed on it?
It seems like the widget must appear on the homepage (ie., on teasers) in order to verify it -- at least that's the message I'm getting from support.
So I have two issues:
1) Does the widget HAVE TO appear on the homepage for the blog to verify? If that's the case, do you know why parentingsquad.com doesn't work? Any pointers would help....
2) After blog ownership verification, are we required to continue to display the outbrain widget on the homepage? We'd really like to limit the display of the voting widget to only the full-post (ie., permalink) page.
Thanks again for all the help! It's much appreciated. :)

Inappropriate?I would be interested in this subject too.
Is there a new outbrain widget available with this patch where we could configure whether the widget appears on teasers..... vs. body.1 Comment

Hi, Right now it depends on your platform. Can you post your url so i can take a look?

are you using drupal?

Can you remove this link from your outbrain database?
This link above is no longer active (the d6 subdirectory).
The domain itself is fine and should stay in outbrain but d6 was a test site only. -

Right now we don't support this for Drupal. Only wordpress or using our java script version instead of the plugin. With the java script you can control in your code where the widget shows. You can download that here:

Inappropriate?Hi,
That link shouldn't be a problem for you. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Jackie,
The only problem it causes is that if I turn on recommended articles (on outbrain) then It sometimes lists articles from d6 testsite - which is no longer available - any person clicking on the link will not be able to follow the link. If it was removed from outbrain database then it would not appear in "You might also like...." listings.
Hope I explained the issue okay.
regards

Inappropriate?HI,
Sorry I wasn't clear there -- that page isn't currently in our database so it shouldn't show in the widget. If you do see the page once you turn on recs, that something we can look into further. What is your new blog's URL? I can keep an eye on it for you.

The d6 domain no longer exists. -
Inappropriate?Hi,
Do you want to shoot me an email at Jackie[at]outbrain[dot]com? I think it might be easier to troubleshoot via email. Thanks!
