Title: OnLoad'er Author: mortenf Published: July 6, 2009 Last modified: July 6, 2009 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/onloader.svg) # OnLoad'er By [mortenf](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mortenf/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/onloader.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/onloader/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/onloader/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/onloader/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/onloader/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/onloader/) ## Description This shortcode, `onloader`, makes it possible to dynamically load extra content onto a page, with a nice spinning load indicator taking the place of the content until it is loaded. #### Usage Add a shortcode like the following to the content of a post or page. ``` [onloader href="..." id="..." width="..." height="..." style="..."] ``` The `href` attribute is mandatory, the rest are optional. Attribute descriptions: * **href**: The URL of the the content that should be loaded and displayed (or a string beginning with “demo”). * **id**: Used to differentiate between several otherwise identical shortcodes on a single page. Should be a simple text string beginning with a letter. * **width**: The width of the box that will hold the load indicator and the content once it is loaded, expressed as CSS, e.g. `200px` or `100%`. The default value is `100%`. * **height**: The height of the box that will hold the load indicator and the content once it is loaded, expressed as CSS, e.g. `200px` or `100%`. The default value is `200px`. * **style**: CSS to style the box that holds the content, e.g. `text-align: center; color: red`. #### Example ``` [onloader href="http://example.com/feed" id="example1" width="80%" height="15em" style="border: 1px solid blue"] ``` ### License Copyright (c) 2009 Morten Høybye Frederiksen [morten@wasab.dk](https://wordpress.org/plugins/onloader/morten@wasab.dk?output_format=md) Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

Download Plugin .zip-file. 2. Unzip and upload to the plugin directory, usually at `wp-content/plugins/`. 3. Activate the plugin from the WordPress “Plugin” administration screen. 4. Add a shortcode to a post or page per the [instructions](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/onloader/). ## FAQ I get a JavaScript error, “Access to restricted URI denied” Because of the browser/JavaScript security model, it is not possible to load content from other sites, only from the same domain the OnLoad’er script itself is located on. A proxy service will be added to a later version of the plugin. How can I test that it works? Add the shortcode `[onloader href="demo"]` to a page, and hit preview. You should see the spinning load indicator, and after a few seconds the message “You are seeing the output of the OnLoad’er demo script. Everything worked!”. Can I use more than one on a single page Certainly. If you are loading content from distinct URLs, it should “just work”, otherwise add `id` attributes with suitable values to make it possible to tell them apart. Another question?
