OK, got it mostly working: you want descriptions in there as well (i.e. below)?

I have to do a window.setTimout to handle the script loading through $.getScript, which gives me the heebie-jeebies, as $.getScript().done() only fires when the script is loaded, NOT when it has executed. I tried the $.ajax alternatives and still had to jump through setTimeout to make it work.

There should be something in the media lesson page's init function that looks to see if the popcorn.js files have already been loaded and only loads them if they haven't been. I could maybe look at the scope stuff tmw

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
