Upgrade your v3 Widgets to v4

Update your liveblog tags

Replace your existing code with the new v4 widget code

  <!-- v3 Code -->
  <script>
    (function(e,t,n,r,i,s,o){e[i]=e[i]||function(){(e[i].q=e[i].q||[]).push(arguments)},
    e[i].l=1*new Date;s=t.createElement(n),o=t.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];s.async=1;
    s.src=r;o.parentNode.insertBefore(s,o)})(window,document,"script",
    '//cdn.tickaroo.com/embedjs/tik3.js',"_tik");
    
    _tik("embedLiveblog", {
      container: "#tickaroo-liveblog", 
      clientId: "CLIENT_ID",
      id: "LIVEBLOG_ID"
    });
  </script>

  <!-- v4 Code -->
  <script async src="https://cdn.tickaroo.com/webng/embedjs/tik4.js"></script>
  <tickaroo-liveblog liveblogId="LIVEBLOG_ID" clientId="CLIENT_ID"></tickaroo-liveblog>

All options that are currently supported can be found here.

Custom tracking (e.g. IVW)

We replaced the trackingCallback option with tag events.

This is now our default behavior.

Our new default behavior for consent handling is the former option "showWebEmbed": "consent_handling" (Integrated consent handling). If you want to change this behavior you can find more information here.

Update your styles

We have created the HTML structure for our new Embed V4 widgets from scratch. If you have customized your liveblogs with custom CSS, it needs to be updated.

The good news is that the new widgets already bring a lot of styles like card layout, timeline and masonry layout.
