Help with inserting a script into a <div> element

@adambd EXTERNAL url = “https://some_server_com/etc/whatever.js”

@sdetweil Hey sean, But then I need to have a ‘server’ running to pull this in. I would prefer just to keep it in another node file in the project. any thoughts on how to do that?

@adambd
How about trying this?

@adambd if you look at the MMM_ImagedPhotos and MMM_ImageSlideshow modules, you will see they map a url for the express server running in MM

	extraRoutes: function() {
		var self = this;

		this.expressApp.get("/MMM-ImagesPhotos/photos", function(req, res) {
			self.getPhotosImages(req, res);
		});

		this.expressApp.use("/MMM-ImagesPhotos/photo", express.static(self.path_images));
	},

	// return photos-images by response in JSON format.
	getPhotosImages: function(req, res) {
		directoryImages = this.path_images;
		var imagesPhotos = this.getImages(this.getFiles(directoryImages)).map(function (img) {
			return {url: "/MMM-ImagesPhotos/photo/" + img};
		})
		res.send(imagesPhotos);
	},

@adambd

element.innerHTML =  `<div>     ENTER HTML CODE    </div>`

you have to have the ` before and after the div indicators

You could not have made it any easier. Fantastic idea, sean!

The only problem with this widget module… It doesn’t allow clickable links to be clicked…
Otherwise, It’s pretty cool! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
