My first attempt was with <a href="http://plagger.org/trac">plagger</a>, and publishing all the information on my google calendar. That wasn't really interesting, as I don't need to archived all this stuff. After this one, I've tried to make a static page, using <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/">the yahoo! library interface</a> stuff. A page with tabs, each tabs for a service. The content was generated with Plagger and Template Toolkit. It was working fine, but I had to do some HTML, check why some some stuff were not working, etc. And as I'm not a designer, and as I'm incapable to think a good user interface, I was quickly fed up with this solution. - -I use <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/">yahoo! pipes</a> for mashing some feeds, and saw that you can get a result from your feed in JSON. I've started to think about a simple page with just some javascript, a simple css, and using the JSON result. So I've created a feed that combine the services that I use (<a title="pipe" href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/franckcuny/myfeeds " target="_blank">the pipe is here</a>), created <a href="http://franck.breizhdev.net/">a simple HTML page</a>, read some jquery documentation on how to read a JSON file, and created this page. The code is really simple. For the flickr stream, I use the code generated from the <a title="flickr badge generator" href="http://www.flickr.com/badge.gne">badge generator</a>. I've done some modifications, like removing the table, removing some classes, altering the css, ... The remaining code is - - -{% highlight html %} -<div id="flickr_badge_uber_wrapper"> - <script src="http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?count=9&display=latest&size=s&layout=h&source=user&user=27734462%40N00" type="text/javascript"></script></div> -{% endhighlight %} - -For displaying the result of the JSON feed, I've found some simple code, that I've modified a bit to feet my purpose. - -{% highlight javascript %} -$(function(){ - var CssToAdd = new Object(); - $.getJSON('http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=NMLU4MNq3RGDW_8fpwt1Yg&_render=json&_callback=?', - function(data){ - $('div#loading-area').hide('fast'); - $.each(data.value.items, function(i,item){ - var a_class; - - try { - if (item.link.match(/last/)) { - a_class = 'lastfm'; - }else if (item.link.match(/pownce/)) { - a_class = 'lastfm'; - }else if (item.link.match(/breizhdev/)) { - a_class = 'blog'; - }else if (item.id.content.match(/google/)) { - a_class = 'greader'; - }else{ - a_class = 'delicious'; - } - }catch(err){ - a_class = 'delicious'; - } - - $('<a>').attr('href',item.link).text(item.title).addClass(a_class).appendTo('#sample-feed-block'); - }); - $('#sample-feed-block a').wrapAll('<ul>').wrap('<li>'); - }); -}); -{% endhighlight %} - -As my javascript's skills are near 0, I've no doubt that there is some better way to do this. Feel free to send me a patch ;) - -The page is available <a href="http://franck.breizhdev.net/">here</a>. - -If you want to copy this page, and use your own pipe, don't forget to append "<strong>=json&_callback=?</strong>" at the end of the url of the JSON version of the feed. - -The thing that I really like with this page, it's that everything fit in a single HTML file. The jquery.min.js is hosted on the <a title="jquery" href="http://jquery.com">jquery site</a>, the icons are favicons pulled directly from the sites, so anyone can juste copy this page, change the address of the pipe, modify the flickr call, play a bit with the embded CSS, and it's done. |
