    SharePoint and Edge

    Chris Lenhart Community Member

      I have recently taken a position within the Department of Defense. My location uses older software (they just made the change to SharePoint 2010) and they want me to start suggesting big changes for their sites. My question is, how can Adobe Edge integrate into SharePoint if at all. Will it allow me to build custom web parts that can live within SharePoint? Can I create animation and then export it as Javascript?

       

      I'm just trying to get as much accurate information as I can before I try to sell them on the Creative cloud option.

       

      Thanks in advance!!

          We also use sharepoint and I would also like to integrate AE into our sharepoint site. It would be interesting to know what Adobe has to say concerning this. Inquiring from sharepoint techs might also provide some answers as to how well these two programs can get along together. Anxious to hear what Adobe has to say.

            That don't, or at least I am having a hell of a time to get them to work together today. I have a cool button that I was planning to use SP Services with to put the data from a SP2010 list, but I can not seem to get the prodect to display on the page...

             

            Lost!

              Okay, after some work I was able to get it to work in Google Chrome, but that is it so far.

               

              I had to change all link from relative links to absolute links in both the HTML and EdgePreload flies. The links are located at the bottom of the EdgePreload file.

               

              Still not able to get it working in IE9 or FireFox....

                Anything that you put on sharepoint you need to create a div tag. When you add your edge project you need to set it it's own "frame" body tag using a div.

                 

                This is what I do:

                 

                I use the web parts sript editor and paste in the code:

                 

                <style>


                .edgeframe {
                    background: #FFF;
                margin-top: 50px;
                }

                </style>
                </head>

                <div class="edgeframe">

                  <object id="EdgeID" type="text/html"   width="900" height="600" data-dw-widget="Edge" data="This is where you save your html document... backend -in a document library">
                  </object>

                 

                make sure all 5 parts are together. the 3java script files, the images folder, and the html file that you link to in the code above (data=")

                 

                I know you posted this over a year ago. I'm interested if you have found a way to make the responsive layout work inside of SharePoint.

                  I still haven't had much luck. We are moving away from Silverlight as an option since it's going away, but I had really hoped something would fill that void. Edge and HTML5 looked promising. I'll keep checking in. Thanks for posting, I'll give this a shot.

                    I posted this chunk of code into the web part HTML source editor as suggested. The web part will populate with the Edge Animate material. However, if the page is refreshed it will disappear. You are then unable to reenter the code with any success. Any other suggestions?

                      Hi Chris,

                       

                      I work for the Dept of Veteran Affairs, and we just recently had CC installed and like you, I was wondering about SharePoint support for Animate outputs as well. I haven't yet begun to experiment, but will be following this thread and will post anything I discover.

                       

                      Thank you for you input David. That looks like a good starting point for me.

                       

                      Frank

                        Everything before SharePoint 2013 doesn't work well. - Other
                        than using <script editor> (there's a lot of tweaking with this and it doesn’t
                        work well with most browsers), I link parts of my web pages to my Edge
                        projects... I place those 4 Edge files in a separate library within SharePoint
                        <Sites content>. I also hide the SharePoint navigation bar so people
                        don't see the libraries (I made my own with some simple HTML and CSS. see the
                        picture attached). For example: The Materials tab links directly to the .html
                        file that I made in Edge. I guess the key take away is - place your published
                        Edge projects in a SharePoint library and link to them. You are basically
                        creating your own pages instead of using SharePoint. I wish I could show you my
                        work, but it's for internal customers at this time.
