UKBL ~ Ajax Google News Bar on ForumHome

Heres another Great Google addition for your Site, A customised Google News bar, Sits quitely under your Navbar and updates with your chosen news type.

This is really easy to edit and upload to your site.

First of all Download the Code in the Zip File, Open in a text editor, Notepads fine, and ...

and Find

Code:

executeList : ["Business News"]

Change the word "Business News" with any other search term associated with your site, so if your site is a Parenting Site, then you would add words associated with that.

So change the words within the brackets and save.

Then Copy and paste the entire code to the very end of your Header Template, or anywhere else on your forum.

Strange, i've heard it take a few seconds to collect the data, But i didn't think it would effect the forums, How about you add the newsbar on a blank HTML page in your forum root and show it on your site via an i-frame, Then the forum should load correctly and google new bar when it does in its own time

Just a thought, It'll depend if you feel the newsbar is benificial to your forums or not to do the extra work??

Hi UKBL,

Great mod I have finally had the time to try it out but unfortunately it's next to useless or my the news feed I require "Spain News" tried lots of different keywords and it just shows up 3 outdated bits of news.

What I find strange about that is the google news rss feed for the same keyword has loads of the latest news!

Is there anyway of adapting this to use with an RSS Feed?

Thanks.

Great mod thanks,

It works very well, I want it to display on my main/index page only?
what template should I add it to? or is a code change that I can do to have it only display on that page only?

I would also be interested if it could work with RSS feeds?
