I thought I tried scoping the function, but it didn't work..? I'll check it again.

I lso wondered whether the google api should be loaded there, or elsewhere? Is it used anywhere else? It's a problem for China.

Howdy,

Have you tried adding the script file with the callback as https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=youtuberss.googleApiClientReady

And then defining the googleApiClientReady method as this.googleApiClientReady within the object? You could also load the script using jQuery so that you can check for it already existing rather than load it again on each page model... Fay would probably know how to do this if you aren't sure...

Hi,

I’ve got the youtube rss working with a hardcode API key. Before we release the code we can split that out and provide a file for people to store their own keys in and read that. I’d appreciate someone peer-reviewing my code: couple of questions:

We need to load the google api which I’ve done by simply adding…

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"></script>

…to the top of the file.

The onGoogleApiClientReady function is defined in global scope so I wondered how to make it part of the youtuberss object, but if I simply define it within the object, it doesn’t get called (obviously).

I think Fay or John will have an idea how to make all this nice and graceful! I’ve committed the file (you’ll need an API key!)

Let me know comments,

J
