Quick Start GuideThis is a featured page


Wetpaint Injected consists of two components: the JavaScript client application and a set of data access APIs. Injecting user-generated content into one of your pages is a very simple process. By following these two easy steps, you can be up and running in minutes.

Step 1. Add User-Generated Content To Your Page


Adding user-generated content to your page is easy: you inject it with a server-side include (SSI). See our Sample Applications for examples of how to do this on the more common Web platforms. Use the following URL for testing, then see other options for retrieving content:

http://wapi.wetpaint.com/CellService/getCellContent.do?key=507ace0d168024cbcb53a9add0e6fe4e9796012e6b420cfafabac6a4357824ef&ns=sandbox-trial&cell.cellId=sample&cell.displayName=sample&cell.url=http://www.wetpaint.com

Step 2. Add the JavaScript Client Application


The Wetpaint Injected client application offers rich WYSIWYG editing and client-side controls for injected content. It must be loaded somewhere above the first injected content cell -- typically in the <head> of the HTML page. Just include the following snippet:

<script src="http://wapi.wetpaint.com/JavaScriptService/getBootstrap.do?key=<your developer key>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if( window.WPCAPI ) {
WPCAPI.setDeveloperKey("507ace0d168024cbcb53a9add0e6fe4e9796012e6b420cfafabac6a4357824ef");
WPCAPI.setNamespace("sandbox-trial");
WPCAPI.setLoginTicket("<your login ticket>"); // only required if user is logged in
WPCAPI.processLogin = function() { location.href = "/path/to/login/page"; }
}
</script>

Note: Wetpaint Injected displays a login dialog if a user attempts to perform a privileged action (e.g: edit a content cell), but does not have a login ticket. When the user clicks the Login button in this dialog, WPCAPI.processLogin() is executed. You should override this function to perform the action(s) necessary to login the user (and ultimately provide them with a ticket). Example behavior is shown in the snippet above. For more information about retrieving a login ticket and authenticating a user, see the full Integration Guide.

Now you have SEO-ready user-generated content on your site and a clickable EasyEdit button. Woohoo!
