Reading Feeds into Web Site
The use of RSS (an acronym for Really Simple Syndication) to expand
the information within a website goes a long way to ensure that a site stays
fresh and up-to-date.
The ability to display current news is fairly straightforward for web
sites using server pages; the external RSS feed is essentially an XML file that
is processed as data just as any other data on the site. All formatting, page
lay up etc comes from the recipient web site, allowing for seamless
integration.
All the Fenestration News feeds can be linked and used in this way.
The news page feeds are found here ...[ news feeds ]
Sites wishing to consume the news that is published for individual
Companies should use the links found on the News List – Company -
News List page Navigate to the company required and click on the RSS
logo for the feed.
Not using server pages? Then feeds can still be used by the inclusion
of a simple piece of JavaScript. Please be aware though that JavaScript is not
always available with all browsers, it can be turned off.
Below we have included a javascript suitable for publishing our
'Breaking News' section on most html pages. Similar scripts can be
provided to show individual company news, just contact us with your
request.
