Google Wave Embedded into WordPress

by David

It turned out to be quite easy to embed a wave into Wordpress. For one, there is a plugin called “wp-wave-shortcodes” that adds a little shortcode to the Wordpress Post. You will see a little button that looks like the Wave symbol along the “Upload/Insert” line. So, go to your Plugins tab and search for that plugin then install it.

Once installed you then click on the shortcode icon and insert the WaveID you want to embed. You can get the WaveID by selecting a wave and then selecting Debug->Get Current Wave ID, you will find Debug in the top right hand corner of Wave, click on it and go down to Get Current Wave ID. It will return you something lick this Wave ID: “wavesandbox.com!w+YPlHGxn2%A”. The tricky part here is knowing that the WaveID is everything after the w+ and before the end quotes. That is the Wave ID you post past into the shortcode. I recommend sticking with the default setting for everything else.

That’s it. So long has you have a Wave Account & are logged in, you will see the Wave below and be able to take part in the conversation.

Very cool! I could certainly see how this would replace comments. But could also act as a CMS system if you were the only person that had access or change the wave.
Very cool! great instructions, by the way, best and most clear I have come across.

Sounds awesome, definitely one of the top features I’m looking forward to. So hard to get a good idea of everything you can do with wave without actually seeing in action

Did you make your wave public? I actually cannot see it while reading this post and being logged in into Wave. I only get the Google Wave Preview logo and clicking on it opens my inbox.

Google Wave Blogger October 15, 2009 at 1:32 pm

The Wave embed actually works fine. I just tested it again.
But keep in mind this post was done a while back and is tagging (embedding) a wave from the Developer’s Sandbox. So, you have to have a Sandbox account and be logged into it in order to see that wave.
I should probably update to the Beta. Will make a point to do that during my admin day.
Cheers.

Thanks for sharing the info. Do you know if they are going to make the waves public so that everyone will be able to view the wave embedded on your blog?

They ‘Google Wave Team’ have tweeted that they are having trouble with the ‘public’ address. So, I don’t think it will be anytime soon.

Ok, I know I’m the new kid here. I keep reading about gadgets like this for GWave. Are these all coming, or are they here now. If they are here, how do I add them?

I just installed the plugin and clicked on edit post, goes to a blank screen. I deactivated it and edit post is fine again. Not sure whats causing that issue.

Also in wave, I cant find the debug button for the life of me .. shall keep looking and reading – its late and I’m probably just missing something very simple !!!!

thanks for the post

This post was done prior to Google Preview being released. It is from a Wave in the Google Sandbox. If you didn’t have a sandbox account you won’t be able to see this wave. Sorry.

Since this post was issued prior to Google Preview, perhaps you can refer another option to embed a gWave into a WP blog (and) if you are aware of any WP issues that you Sandbox guys know about, please feel free to share.
