How to embed the Web Player PDF Print E-mail

With its powerful race replay capabilities, the web player is a great drawcard to any site. You can embed the web player into your site by following these instructions. This way you can not only provide results but race replays too!

These instructions assume you have already published the races of interest and that they are available for viewing from the TackTracker.com site. There are two ways you can provide access to these races from your site:

  • Provide a link to the player running in the TackTracker site.
  • Embed the player into your own site so it appears to be running from your site.

To achieve either of the above, the first step is to run the web player from the TackTracker.com site and navigate to the race of interest.

Accessing the Embed Tab

In the web player, go to the race of interest and click the down button. Down button.

This will expose a second set of tabs. Click the Embed tab:

Embed Tab.

The embed tab provides the information you need to embed a link to the player, or the player itself into your site.

  • The Link: field contains the direct link to the race you are watching. To copy this to the clipboard (from a Windows PC), click in the field and press Ctrl-A (to select all) then Ctrl-C. You can then paste this link into an email or your site.
  • The Embed: field contains HTML code for embedding the player into your site. Again, click in the field then press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and paste the code into the html source for your web page.
The player is embedded into your page using an iframe. Some sites may not permit this. If this is the case, you will need to settle for providing a link to the TackTracker site.
