Hello there!

I am facing a problem with including a file badge code for another website, the code is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript" id="ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da">
 (function() {
 function async_load()
 { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; var theUrl = 'http://www.ngosource.org/sites/default/files/ngos_ed_on_file_widget.js'; s.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf("?") >= 0 ? "&" : "?") + 'ref=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href); var embedder = document.getElementById('ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da'); embedder.parentNode.insertBefore(s, embedder); }
 if (window.attachEvent)
 window.attachEvent('onload', async_load);
 else
 window.addEventListener('load', async_load, false);
 })();
 </script>

When I uploaded this code on the code-injection tool on my website it showed me a syntax error- so I followed the instructions below:

  • To add JavaScript to a code injection field, surround the code with <script></script> tags.

And it kind of worked- as in it appeared on the website but in a text form- see picture for reference.

Could you please help as to how to solve this issue? Also, if I'd want this code to appear in like the middle of the page instead of the footer how can I do it?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the sending the code, but when I made the changes to the code by correcting the beginning of the code <script to <script></script> the code appeared like that in the footer of the screenshot, immediately when the I changed it.

Hope I am making sense.

I have added a pic of the code that was pasted in the footer tab, also the </script> is highlighted red.

Oh okay! Sorry...

The code for Line 1:

<script></script> type="text/javascript" id="ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da">

It should be

<script type="text/javascript" id="ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da">

So when I use the code the way you have written it, I cannot see anything change on the page, like the icon cannot be seen. 

See pic below.

The full code is as follows 

<script type="text/javascript" id="ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da">
 (function() {
 function async_load()
 { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; var theUrl = 'http://www.ngosource.org/sites/default/files/ngos_ed_on_file_widget.js'; s.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf("?") >= 0 ? "&" : "?") + 'ref=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href); var embedder = document.getElementById('ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da'); embedder.parentNode.insertBefore(s, embedder); }
 if (window.attachEvent)
 window.attachEvent('onload', async_load);
 else
 window.addEventListener('load', async_load, false);
 })();
 </script>

Hello there! 

Any hope in fixing the issue.

They provided an incorrect code. The code missing a character.

Use this new code

<script type="text/javascript" id="ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da">
 (function() {
 function async_load()
 { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; var theUrl = 'https://www.ngosource.org/sites/default/files/ngos_ed_on_file_widget.js'; s.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf("?") >= 0 ? "&" : "?") + 'ref=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href); var embedder = document.getElementById('ngos-ed-on-file-widget-script-17336c1f-917d-492b-bc53-225c95e103da'); embedder.parentNode.insertBefore(s, embedder); }
 if (window.attachEvent)
 window.attachEvent('onload', async_load);
 else
 window.addEventListener('load', async_load, false);
 })();
 </script>
