News feed ticker Page - webapplikations.com
Below are the instructions and sample displays for the RSS/XML news ticker.
Its extremely important that you follow the instructions exactly as described below,
Though not difficult at all,it can break the application very easily if you make one tiny
mistake.
We are planning on implementing a membership zone soon. News ticker is
free at the moment,however it will be
around $8.00 a month to put it on your website
in near future.
enjoy.
These tickers are created using php - domxml extension. And will work on any browser with JavaScript
enabled.
What happens is that you pass some parameters to a php application,which reads all of these parameters (if there are any)
and returns a javascript src code that is displayed on your local web page.
There are 3 layers to these tickers
First and outer most layer is called "id=rss_block"
Next element that actually contains the ticker is called "id=ticker_block"
There is a script tag in between the two div's this script tag points to the PHP application to
recieve the ticker code that is generated dynamically every time its loaded.
On my part I have tried to make it as safer as I could,however,programs safety is
totally dependent upon the users code or configurations.
URL Problem
If a url is bad,the application will go through a bunch of other urls provided for
these scenarios and try to run the ticker. Sometimes even the RSS/XML feed providers srewup
and their XML code breaks,in that case we can not do anything.
Let us know if there are issues, we will hard to make it a error free as possible.
This is how a properly done code should look like
<body class="body" onload="RSSinit();">
<script src="http://webapplikations.com:8080/phpdev/rssticker/JSRssTicker.php?tickerType=0" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="ticker_block" style="position:absolute;width:0px;margin-top:2px;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden;border:1px solid orange;background-color:#006699;padding:4px;">
</div>
</body>
