Update script and listen button URL's

Created on 19 November 2022, about 2 years ago
Updated 22 March 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

ReadSpeaker support has told me that the current script link is for a former product, which should instead be in this format, using a new Region value (example values eu and 1234567):

<script src="https://cdn-eu.readspeaker.com/script/1234567/webReader/webReader.js?pids=wr" type="text/javascript" id="rs_req_Init"></script>

With new Region token it could look like this in the URL field:

//cdn-[open-readspeaker:region].readspeaker.com/script/[open-readspeaker:account-id]/webReader/webReader.js?pids=wr

... where [open-readspeaker:region] is a token from a new Region field, with one of the following values:

  • eu: Europe
  • me: Middle East
  • af: Africa
  • as: Asia
  • oc: Oceania
  • eas: East Asia
  • na: North America
  • sa: South America

The same [open-readspeaker:region] value should then also be used in the href of the listen button, like so:

href="https://app-[open-readspeaker:region].readspeaker.com/cgi-bin/rsent?customerid=[open-readspeaker:account-id]&lang=...

Steps to reproduce

Try the new script path, and see that the design changes.

Updating the script URL Might also fix an error, where the player doesn't work (Curl error: 60) ...

Proposed resolution

  • Add new Region field in form
  • Update script URL
  • Update listen button URL

Remaining tasks

  • Decide whether to make this change in current 1.x branch or (if it's too much of a change) instead do it in 📌 Open Readspeaker 2.0 Postponed
  • Add new Region field in the form (token: [open-readspeaker:region]), with help text
  • Update the script link
  • Update the listen button link

User interface changes

The new ReadSpeaker listen button, will probably have new id's and classes.
