„Share Story“ Button doesn’t work, error: „ZeroClipboard is deprecated“

[tibor]

Hi,

we discovered odyssey.js last week and built a card with it.
Unfortunately, the „share story“ button doesn’t work for us, neither in Chrome nor in Firefox or Safari.

I checked the console and got following error messages when I clicked on the button:

`new ZeroClipboard(elements, options)` is deprecated. See docs for more info:

+1 please help!

I'm afraid this is because of the POST https://api.github.com/gists 401 (Unauthorized), which is trying to post a gist to Carto's account from the sandbox. Maybe this is a simple fix?

[bplmp]

Related: github removed anonymous gist creation in February 2018, which probably broke this.

Not sure how this can be fixed, since Carto will probably not authenticate to create sandbox users' gists. Maybe the best solution for now is to teach users on how to create their own gists and view them on bl.ocks.

@bplmp unfortunately, the problem for us is that we need to utilize iframes, which was apart of the sharing feature of odyssey.js, and bl.ocks hasn't supported since 2016.

I haven't been able to get a similar solution from using rawgit.com either. Suggestions welcome!

@erlenbusch then perhaps you could use github pages? I've used iframes from github pages in other sites previously and it worked ok.
