Title: Spreading the news
Post by: mani on July 10, 2002, 11:53:42 AM
I'm wondering if I could incorporate the news items over at nowheremedia on The Coll-Active.

That is putting up a section probably on the index page, or linked from it, containing headlines from nowheremedia under a title of something like "latest from Nowheremedia", that sort of thing.

The headlines would then link to the full story on the nowhere site, although I might use frames to keep the coll-active in focus to.

Would this be OK with you W, I'd also look at adding it to both the BIA site and my own Mani-Music one.

Feature already exists!  Use this code:

[code]<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.nowheremedia.com/mpn/jsnews.php?image=0"></script>[/code]

Here's some extra parameters you can pass to the script:

font :    Font name to be used. Default is Tahoma
size :    Font size. Default is 1
image :   0 for no image, 1 for site logo
max :     Number of news to be displayed, must be less or equal to 10, defaults to 5
bgcolor : Title box color, Default is 999999 (without leading #)
fgcolor : News box color, Default is EEEEEE (without leading #)

No java needed ;)  Just GET variables past through the URL.

Lets say I wanted a white background, and black text, I'd use:

[code]<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.nowheremedia.com/mpn/jsnews.php?image=0&bgcolor=FFFFFF&fgcolor=000000"></script>[/code]

That's it, that's all ;)

good ideas!!!

I have always thought that if some of the different music sites worked together, it would help everyone.
I will have to update some of my sites as well to direct more people to Nowhere and the collactive.

Thanks guys
