copied!<p>Ok so here is another way to do it... JQuery and Json....</p> <p>So use directly used a controller like your user controller or whatever information you want to put in your widget, in my example, some information on companies.</p> <p>so add a method widget in your controller like:</p> <pre><code>def widget @company = Company.find(params[:id]) @logo_url = @company.logo_url(:mini) respond_to do |format| format.json { render :json => {:company => @company, :url => @logo_url}, :callback => params[:jsoncallback] } end end </code></pre> <p>In your routes.rb you should then have something similar to this:</p> <pre><code>resources :public_company_profiles do get :widget, on: :member end </code></pre> <p>then the JQuery parts making your html code from your JSON informations the third party website will use: First the script to add the jquery then the actual jquery request.</p> <pre><code><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $.getJSON("http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourcontroller/ID/widget?jsoncallback=?", function(data) { var logo_url = "http://www.yourwebsite.com" + data.url; $("#logo img").attr('src',logo_url); $("#logo img").attr('alt',data.company.name); $("#name").html(data.company.name); $("#desc").html(data.company.description); }); </script> </code></pre> <p>Then it works baby ! (dont forget to put the and stuff around the jQuery documentation here: api.jquery.com/html)</p>
