Reftagger with a Wix website

Thanks for bringing up this concern again.  I'd asked about it last year and never received an answer so I completely forgot about it!  

Thanks again Andrew!

Because of the way that Wix loads content from apps, it is not possible to use RefTagger with Wix.

RefTagger works by inspecting the content of a site when it loads, looking for Bible references and tagging them as necessary. On most sites, RefTagger has access to the entire page; however, because of browser security restrictions, it cannot do so if it has been loaded via an iframe.

Unfortunately, this is precisely how Wix loads all of its apps, including the HTML app. This means that RefTagger can only access the content within the HTML app that loads it.

If you want to continue to use Wix, you could place all of your "taggable" content within a single HTML app that also contains a reference to the RefTagger script, but in doing so, you'd lose most of the benefits of using Wix in the first place.

Hey guys, any development for Wix yet?

my site is www.visitclearviewchurch.org, go to the Theology page for the blog.

Thanks,

Jeff

It's been 2.5 years since last comment on this matter-- any update???

Maybe if we all asked Wix directly to do something about it??

on their App Market, after you search for reftagger, there is an option to request an app. I just requested, but if more of us do, maybe something can be done.....?

I have had quite a few emails with Wix and as far as I can see there is no hope of anything changing. The last reply I had from them on Thursday, 11th March 2021, was:

"I have checked with our technical team and found out that this package can’t be approved as it’s built with native code and typescripts that are not supported in our platform."

I have decided the only thing I can do is put the scriptures in full, either in indented paragraphs immediately after the paragraphs where they are quoted, or at the end of a page where people can jump to see them if they wish. At least this way they can still be seen without interrupting the flow of the main text.

I have finally found a solution to this issue.  

If you want to know the details of the cause, you can read more here.  https://github.com/nsn-amagruder/RefTagger

The solution is to set the timeout on the RefTagger script so it will not run for 3 seconds after the initial page load.  This will allow the Wix javascript file to run first so that the RefTagger.js will overwrite the variables vs getting its functions/variables overwritten.  If your site loads slow, you many need to increase the timeout from 3 seconds to 4 or 5.  You will see a three second delay before RefTagger starts working.

In Wix, set this script to only run on the Post page for the blog.  The script w/o the SetTimeout works fine on static pages.

<script>
var refTagger = {
settings: {
bibleVersion: 'NKJV'
}
};

setTimeout(() => {
(function(d, t) {
var n=d.querySelector('[nonce]');
refTagger.settings.nonce = n && (n.nonce||n.getAttribute('nonce'));
var g = d.createElement(t), s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
g.src = 'https://api.reftagger.com/v2/RefTagger.js';
g.nonce = refTagger.settings.nonce;
s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
}(document, 'script'));
}, "3000")
</script>
