Qlik Cloud Wordpress plugin

[Yianni_Ververis]

Happy Friday everyone. If you have a Wordpress website and you want to incorporate visualizations from our Qlik Cloud, then you are at the right place. Below are the steps needed to install, configure and use the plugin by iframing an entire app sheet or creating a page with nebula.js and pulling just by ids.

Installation into WordPress

1. Login to your WordPress Admin Portal.
2. On the left navigation panel, select "Plugins".
3. Towards the top of the plugins list, click the "Add New" button.
4. In the search box towards the right-hand side, type "Qlik" and hit enter to search.
5. The Qlik Saas plugin is currently one of only two results returned. Click the "Install Now" button next to it.
6. WordPress will then download and install the plugin for you. Once complete, "Install Now" button will change to "Activate". Click the "Activate" button to complete the installation.

I forgot to mention that if you are not logged in and you have configured the tenant with anonymous access, this will work with and without users being logged in!

[Carl_Hunter]

Interesting... How do you set anonymous access on the SaaS tenant @Yianni_Ververis ?

@Carl_Hunter you can only do anonymous login with QSEoW. 

User needs to exist in QS SaaS.

When I try to look up Qlik Saas on wordpress it does not show up. When I tried to install your plugin from Github it does not load. Is there a new alternative way of getting Qlik cloud onto wordpress? @Yianni_Ververis 

[Ouadie]

Hi @EricGlenn - Unfortunately, Yianni is no longer with the company.
The plugin is still working but it has been taken off of wordpress.org. I'm still working on restoring it there.

When you download the Github repo, you need to extract the files, then navigate to "qlik-saas-wordpress-plugin\qlik-saas\trunk" and zip the content of the trunk folder. This is what you upload to WordPress.

For your convenience, I uploaded the plugin to this link: 
qlik-saas-plugin.zip

Hi @Ouadie my collegea @Loes tried to set things up. The plugin works however you have to manually sign in to QSSaaS to get it working.

Any idea whats wrong ?

[Valnar]

@p_verkooijen did your team manage to set the plugin up so that logging-in is not required anymore?

[p_verkooijen]

Hi @Valnar, sorry we did not manage to get this working without having to logon.
