HTML - Need To Feed Bits Of Information From News Page To 'news' Section On Homepage

Ok so Im not sure what exactly what its called but I was wondering where I could get the code that would allow me to make my own news marque/feed/slideshow..thing

An example of what Im talking about can be found on the yahoo.com main page...right in the middle of the page where it says TODAY

How would I go about making one of those that I can put my own news articles in?
Does is there an html gen for this?

Thanks!

Dear forum members,

I have a web site on which i wish to add a page with a news-section. By that i mean a blog-like section, where i can post updates about events and products etc. So something like:

<separation_line>
<headline>
<the date of the news>
<body_text>
<separation_line>
etc.

Then i wish to make it so that the posts i put in this news section are automatically sent as wall post to the firm's facebook page (which is in turn sent to twitter, but that is already working).

I am completely new to blogs etc. but know how to code html, css and java and a few other languages.

Is there a way to do what I am looking for, easily? Is that something wordpress is for?

The web page is http://www.leveldance.com, in case that is of use in providing some advise.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello!
I have a website where I want to list the latest news from my blog. I want every news titles to be listed in addition to my main page on the website. Is it easiest to use an RSS Feed to solve this. Here are my thoughts anyway: http://enelesfilm.se/ovrigt/forum/example.gif
Thanks for your help!

Hi:

I want to place a large block of scrollable text (i.e., a news letter for my clients to view) on a page.

The 'text' for this news letter 'page' will be taken from a database and will be planted in this scrollable block, and will have a text title and an author and a 'last edit date'.

Any first thoughts on how to set up the basic markup for this scrollable block of text please ??

Thank you !

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I want to be able to generate a RSS news feed from my website with latest news etc, but I really haven't a clue where to start. Would anyone of the experts on this forum be able to advise me of where to start and what is the best way to go about it?

I hope you can help.

Can someone help me create a scrolling news ticker in HTML code?

I want to put rss feed into this scrolling ticker from an rss feed like yahoo news etc.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help or give me the code. Ill be glad to put your name in the code.


THanks.

Ok here's the low-down - I'm trying to find a better way to post news items on a large intranet - currently we have to post the same news on twenty different servers, which drives me barmy.

The big issues are we can only get client-side access (no asp, php etc) although on the upside all the users are IE6 - so in a way some things like data islands become available.

So I was thinking we could have a central xml file that we could update and each page would be set to show certain categories or something.

first of all is this possible at all?!

And if so - any help/pointers would be appreciated!

You'll see below where I've got to - so it's displaying the first news item dynamically so I guess there's two questions - one hopefully fairly easy and the second for a resident-genius type:

1) How can I get it to display the 'first five records' rather than just the first one - I know you can fudge it with tables, but I'm trying to keep it as proper as possible and I know tables aren't really the best for this sort of thing.

2) Is there any way I can add 'markers' to the xml file that are checked -
ie so the xml file could have items like:

<item>
<title> The title of this article</title>
<markers>
<political>Yes</political>
<sport>No</sport>
<technology>Yes</technology>
</markers>
<content>blah blah</content>
</item>

This'd then let me specify an article as both political and technology and thus on the political and technology pages it'd appear if it was one of the five most recent valid articles, but not on the sport pages.

Any ideas?!

Code below if it helps...

Hi!
I am currently studying a Comp Sci degree in college. I want to create a few webpages and cut my teeth. I know basic html but would like to do something more advanced.

I want to add a widget or script of sorts to a webpage to allow news updates, adding pictures and text basically. I am not really sure what I am looking for and would just like to know what terms or terminology to search for. Would this come under the heading of Javascript, php, perl, widgets?

Any help is appreciated.

Is there a plugin or anything that would allow me to setup specific sections of a website where certain users can update with news?

I hope I'm being clear, but this is what I want to do:

There's a news section of my page, and currently I'm working with people who don't know a lick of HTML. They want to be able to add news articles without having to go through me. Is there a service or plugin or anything that will allow this to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all,

Just signed up. I dabble occasionally with coding and would appreciate your help on a slight problem.

I'm thinking of putting in a scrolling ticker with links to files on site so this is what I've put in (link removed):

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link">Text</a></marquee>

This is where my problem starts. The text is by default set to be black, therefore I can't see the text as the background colour is a shade of black. How do I change the text colour to white for this one bit?

That's the first problem, I then tried to manually change it by adding some codes like this, which is messy:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link"><font size="3" face="Yanone Kaffeesatz" color="white"> Text</a></font> </marquee>

It is now white text but the problem is that it appears in Times New Roman I think. I then tried deleting the face=Yanone Kaffeesatz strand but it does not work.

Thing is, with the first <marquee> example in my post, it defaults to the Yanone Kaffeesatz font with no mention of it (as that is what I use on my site), but it's in black. When I add the other string in the second example I get it in white but not in the font I want.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok, this is a long post and is a big request so if you dont want to read alot of text or dont give out freebies, I would advice you going away now if you dont want to waste any time.

Ok, anyhow, hi. This is my first post ad its a biggy. As an overall summary, I need to create a form which can be filled out that posts the information onto 1 page, but also creates another page automatically with it on.

Now the detail. I run a site which uses phpbb user as the main site profile. I have intergrated into my homepage so you can log in there and see the info. What i need is a form which can be filled out by an admin with specific fields that would add a news segment onto the homepage.

What I can do of this is if the admin wants to post a news segment on the homepage, they can click a link that will lead them to a conformation page that asks for thier details again and then checks thier phpb usergroup to see if they are an admin or not. I can also make it so once they have conformed it, they have access to the form.

Now the form is a bit complicated. First off it needs these fields: Title Home Segment Article Segment
The title is self explanitary. It is the main title of the news segment itself. The home segment is a small description of the actual segment itself. Article segment is the tricky bit. I need it to create a new page within a specific folder and it be domain.com/folder/title.php . I would also like it to post the date within the tags below. Oh and there needs to be a readmore link created with a link to the article

The actual html for the segments would be:

<a name="title of segment"></a>
<h2>title of segment</h2>

<p>homepage desc for homepage of full desc for article
</p>
<p class="post-footer align-right">
<a href="article link" class="readmore">Read more</a><span class="date">check system date</span></p>
<br />

If you need more info, which you probably do, dont hesitate to ask.

My site homepage is this : http://theholostudios.co.uk . This is if you want to see the layout.

Oh and sorry if this sounds quite nooby, i am still learning all this stuff.
