# Integrating script into WP page ( plugin?)

 * Hi! There is this somehow neat plugin I found that I would like to modify and
   integrate into a WP page.
 * It’s a so called “Magnetic Poetry” AJAX plugin:
 * [http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/](http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/)
 * [http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/info.php](http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/info.php)
 * I tried to play around with the code and couldn’t get it to work.
 * Any kind soul to help me get started? I tried to search around here also but 
   couldn’t a solution (got a couple of hints though).
 * Also I thought this could make for a nice little goodie “Fridge Door” plugin.
   I’d understand if no one was interested in porting this. I never wrote a plugin
   but was wondering whether that qualify for a start (I know HTML, and enough of
   CSS/PHP to make my way around WP). I would basically add an admin page where 
   you could manage words and adapt size and some css; I would also like to add 
   some kind of admin “reset” option so words get displayed in a defined initial
   state.
 * TIA^10k!-)

 * I’m still trying…
    Here is more info if someone runs across this:
 * Basically, the script I wish to integrate uses AJAX and CPAINT to draw a board
   where there are word tiles; the user may move tiles around the board and tiles
   keep user entered locations. Words and locations are kept within a pipe delimited.
   dat file with and ID key, the word itself and coordinates (33|than|566|378). 
   The file is writable so when a tile is being moved, the coordinates get updated.
 * See it here : [http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/](http://www.broken-notebook.com/magnetic/)
 * The distribution consist in an index file calling the main script which uses 
   CPAINT php files and several .js files.
    All these files are in a same (script
   root) directory.
 * What I tried was to create a “magnet” page template calling a custom header where
   I put the meta, head and body (onload) elements used by the script (referring
   to css and js files).
 * I modified the src= references in the main script to point to a directory I created
   at my web root where I put the actual script files.
 * That didn’t work. The board would initially get drawn about ok but I couldn’t
   move tiles.
 * One specific question : since I’m using friendly url’s (mydomain.com/magnets)
   where should I put the script’s directory? I tried both the web root and my theme’s
   directory and it didn’t seem to work.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

 * Well, i know this thread s about 7 months old but i tried to do this, too. I 
   didn t succed either. I succeded i including the script in another file in another
   directory… but i didn t succed in including it in my WordPress template (even
   though thats just anothter file in another directory, too), so i guesss it s 
   a WordPress issue. Some reason could be the multiple includes WordPress performes,
   that could possibly also explain why some vars the script sets global become 
   NULL instead of global… weird.
 * Some AJAX Whiz around to help us?
