Run File From Address Using hostname

Question

there is a script I'm trying to use for Blogger. It works when you enter your domain URL into the src, but I'm trying to find a way to do it using hostname to insert the domain.

Original script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=INSERT-YOUR-URL-HERE&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json" />

I tried:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var excuteTopCommentators = "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'+window.location.hostname+'&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json"
    return excuteTopCommentators
</script>

I also tried document.write:

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'+window.location.hostname+'&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json"></script>');
</script>

Neither of the attempts seem to work. Any ideas on how to do this without manually inserting the domain URL into the script src?

What you see in developer console? downloads the file? im intrested in your second attemp. — rnrneverdies, Nov 22 '14 at 04:09

Perhaps the problem is that you get the script, but it is never executed.

Maybe try jQuery's getScript http://api.jquery.com/jquery.getscript/

function getIt() {
  return $.getScript('http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'+window.location.hostname+'&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json');
}

Didn't work, and showed no errors in the chrome console. – Xarcell Nov 22 '14 at 04:25
Try opening the script directly in the browser URL bar. Can you rule out whether the script exists? – Elise Chant Nov 22 '14 at 04:27
The script works when I manually enter in my Domain URL. It doesn't work when I try to use hostname. – Xarcell Nov 22 '14 at 04:32
perhaps you should check that ``window.location.hostname`` is the same as your static domain url. It probably is missing the protocol - as in http:// – Elise Chant Nov 22 '14 at 04:40
"perhaps" !? What are they talking about ?, make pure speculation. I've done the research and the correct answer is JSONP. – rnrneverdies Nov 22 '14 at 04:42

Your second option looks fine:

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'+window.location.hostname+'&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json"></script>');
</script>

The script is downloaded but do nothing. this is because it is a JSONP, not an script

So, you need a callback function to get it working: (note that is data, not code)

<script type="text/javascript">
    // JSONP Callback
    function getYpipePP(data) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(data));
    }

    document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'+window.location.hostname+'&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json"></script>');

</script>

Look the query, say _callback=getYpipePP and _render=json

Didn't work: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that this is a XML template. I tried adding CDATA tags to your script, but then got the error illegal token. – Xarcell Nov 22 '14 at 04:28
@Xarcell its works, you are fetching a JSONP OBJECT not an script. see the plunker, and see the fetched data, just call a function called getYpipePP and pass an JSON object as parameter. Just that jsonp does. – rnrneverdies Nov 22 '14 at 04:30
Sorry, but it doesn't. The output is `');` and it throws the error in the console. – Xarcell Nov 22 '14 at 04:34
It's a shame you do not see the answer to your problem when you have it in front of your eyes. – rnrneverdies Nov 22 '14 at 04:59

Try this (the problem you're having is the end "script" tag):

<script type="text/javascript">
        document.write('<script language="javascript" src="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?YourBlogUrl=http://'
                     + window.location.hostname
                     + '&amp;ShowHowMany=5&amp;_id=390e906036f48772b2ed4b5d837af4cd&amp;_callback=getYpipePP&amp;_render=json" type="text/javascript"><\/script>')
    </script>
