Tumult Hype Animations Wordpress Plugin

Cip2u · January 27, 2019, 7:22pm

My CSS and global variables in my html is not being recognized. I discovered that @Daniel 's comment is why.

Can someone please elaborate on how can include the javascript and css I have in the into an iframe and have it read when I serve it on a Wordpress site.

Is this something I can do within the Tumult interface? Do I create a resource file? I tried creating an html file with the js and the css inside and iframe and added it to the resource files. No luck.

Or is it a file that I have to add outside the app? If so where?

This is what I have in the head html:

<script  type="text/javascript">

// global variables


  var totalSelectOne = 0;
  var totalSelectTwo = 0;
  
  var arrayAccum = [0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00];
  var maxDistanceHold = [0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00];     
  var electricHold = [0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00];       
  var hydroFuelHold = [0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00];   

  	
</script>

<style type="text/css">

 .activeButton{
 border-style: solid!important;
 border-width: 3px!important;
 border-color: #438730!important;
}
</style>

Thanks!

I’ve had good luck with running Hype animations in Wordpress in the past.

But for this most recent project, I’m running into issues with the < head >html as well as running jQuery commands.

Would it be a good solution to serve the Hype folders in a separate server and run everything in an iframe within Wordpress?

Thanks!

You can if I am recalling this correctly. Use iFrame instead of DIV in the tumult Hype panel in WordPress … setting on each upload.

I recently added a new guide on this topic guide to the troubleshooting section above. It deals with how to use jQuery when embedding via the WP plugin (by @MarkHunte). You may have seen it since then.

Version 1.8 just released, which is a quick update today to address three things that bugged me:

It was tricky to copy the shortcode --now when you click on the shortcode it is automatically selected
The ‘copy code’ modal now displays code more like… code
Tested & supported up to WP 5.2 & deprecates support for PHP 5.5 which no longer receives security fixes.

Changelog

1.8.1 also pushed live, now with Afrikaans language support.

Version 1.8.2 Just pushed, with support for Wordpress 5.3 and a couple tiny fixes to make life easier.

If anyone wants to help figure out why this is happening that would be awesome:

I’m revisiting this script tonight, as I’m covering it in A Book About Hype. It was a hard thing for me to do, as I didn’t have much success with the plugin. It’s silly for me to FTP my files to the server, instead of using the plugin. Yet, that’s what I have to do, as the doesn’t position the Hype project as expected.

At least, it didn’t, until…

Well, I’ll start at the beginning. This is the CSS I use to place Hype projects on my site…

.hype-box-16x9 {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-top: 56.25%;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.hype-iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: none;
overflow: hidden;
}

…and this is the HTML…

<div class="hype-box-16x9">
<iframe class="hype-iframe" src="/files/templates/physics" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">
</iframe>
</div>

The plugin seems to want you to specify a height, but I don’t want to specify a height. I use a percentage, in order to maintain a 16x9 ratio. This is better for that classic Flash web game look.

So then I thought all I need to do is add the CSS class.

Nope, that didn’t work. Yet, this did…

<div class="hype-box-16x9">[hypeanimations_anim id="1"]</div>

Heh, I had to add the other div around the Hype Animations shortcode. Now it works…

I might still switch back to the way I was using before, but at least I figured out what was wrong. That makes the plugin easier to explain.

h_classen · February 16, 2020, 8:36am

does it need some !importance? may there be situations where some other css overwrites styles of the wrapper?

Photics · February 16, 2020, 11:46am

So, the way this technique works, two separate elements are required... the iFrame containing Hype, and a container around that. The way the Plugin works, you can only style the iFrame. That's why I had to manually add a "div" with the "hype-box-16x9" styles.

Photics · February 16, 2020, 3:40pm

Suggestion

Perhaps the iFrame option should have a “sandbox” attribute.

An obvious response is, “Duh, it’s your website. You should know what you’re uploading to it.”

That’s a perfectly legitimate response. It’s just a way of looking out for new web developers. To which you might response, “Dude, I don’t want the headache of the support issues that might occur from sandboxing.”

That is also a perfectly valid response, which is why this is merely a suggestion. I see an opportunity to slightly improve security. That might be a nice thing to do.

I want to make website like this tutorial

https://tumult.com/support/examples/Scroll-Animation-Control_by-Survey-Legend/Scroll-Transition-Tutorial_by_Survey_Legend.html

but when height not scale to 100% the buttom and upper, it’s not responsive again.

jonathan · March 7, 2020, 3:08am

If you are using wordpress, ultimately you will need to have some container div that has a height to it. This could be percentage-based, in which case you can keep the height scale on in the hype document, since it will then fill the container.

I’m not too familiar with the best approach to do this in wordpress, but you may want to try looking into more “wordpress responsive height” posts around the web, since I would guess this comes up often enough. The good news is there isn’t anything specific to Hype holding you back; you just need to make sure there is a container which is big enough to fit.

The Survey Legend example can be made without any CMS as the blog post shows, which makes it a bit easier to do on a vanilla html page. (I removed your post on the other topic)

VickyMadhas · March 8, 2020, 4:49am

sorry I am a designer not a developer, so I am not understand about container div. can you make an example or link the tutorial about it?

h_classen · March 8, 2020, 5:50am

You Need to configure The Integration in Wordpress. So The best Option to Help should bei by providing a Link …

cbutcher318 · March 25, 2020, 4:28pm

I am new to both Hype and Wordpress, so please bear with me.

I’ve uploaded the Hype plug in.
I’ve exported the oam and uploaded it.
Now, I can’t figure out how to insert the oam into a page. My screen doesn’t look like the example at the top of this post. When I click on add new post, I get this:

I’ve gone through all the options I can think of, but nothing is working. Any help is appreciated.

Daniel · March 25, 2020, 5:51pm

For your case, you would need to visit the Hype Animations plugin directly, and copy a ‘shortcode’ which represents your Hype animation. You can then paste that shortcode anywhere in the Wordpress editor.

What you’re looking at in the screenshot is the ‘blocks’ editor which removes a lot of the formatting options in favor of a clean interface. So it removes that ‘Hype animation’ button unfortunately.

cbutcher318 · March 26, 2020, 12:14am

Thanks. It seems like I’m making some kind of error exporting the original animation. I inserted the shortcode and the preview showed only a portion of the animation.

EDIT: I was able to upload a very simple test animation, so I can do it. The one I’m trying to post includes video. I need to learn how to keep video attached during export. (I’m sure that’s another thread.)
