Install Topix on your website! (RSS feeds too)

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Have your own Website? Using this quick and easy-to-use form, forum topic titles of any or all of the Topix forums will appear on any Webpage you want. Set your presonal preferences in the form for how you would like the topic and forum links to appear on your site. The form includes a preview area so you can see how it'll look before inserting the code into your page(s). The topic titles and links are automatically updated on your own site, live, as people post to High Sierra Topix! Even better, once customized using the form, the thread titles and links will have the look and feel of your own Website. It's also possible to generate a RSS feed for use in a RSS aggregator from this same form!

Let me know if you have any questions, or would like help setting it up. To see Topix Anywhere in action, go to the Main Page of this Website. You may also post your link in this thread so that others can see how you have incorporated the script into your site. :)

Cool, Shawn!

Jody, give me a link, and I'll post the source code for how you should insert the javascript in this thread. :)

Eric, I can't get it to work on my site. Maybe I can PM you the login info for my site and you can do it for me?

Sure. No problem. PM me and I'll see what I can do.
Here's what it looks like inserted into a simple html page:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highsierratopix.com/community/topics_anywhere.php?mode=show&f=uMSw1LD.........."></script>
</body>

</html>
Note: I deleted part of the script and replaced it with a series of ....... so that it wouldn't stretch this page.

Okay, I think I can do it now. The only thing that shows up when I go through the link you provided is the "script" portion of your post(the second half). None of the html code shows up in your tool for me to copy/paste.

I wish I knew how to swap the colors for the font. I would rather have the titles stand out in the bright yellow.

Leave that page up, and I'll email you the edited "id36.html" file to replace the current one. As for the font and link colors, they take on the characteristics of the page CSS. I can help you customize. Just let me know what you'd like it to look like.

From a quick glance at your page, it looks like you copied and pasted almost everything from my previous post (including the head tags and one of the html tags). So now your page has four head tags and three html tags, when there should only be one set of each (open and close). So in a nutshell (having deleted a bunch of tables and such so you can see the basic layout of your page), your page's source code looks like this:

Code: Select all

<html>
   <HEAD>
<title>Sierra Nevada Forum</title>
   </HEAD>

   <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="4" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#0066cc" vlink="#0066cc" alink="#990099" style="background-image: url(/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/mkg_basicblack_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat;">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> 
                           <html> 
                           <head> 
                           <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> 
                           <title>Untitled Document</title> 
                           </head> 
                           <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highsierratopix.com/community/topics_anywhere.php?mode=show&f=uMSw2............"></script>
                           <!--"''"--></DIV></i></b></font>
                        </p>
   </body>
</html>
Notice the open and closed html and head tags in the middle of the code above. Those shouldn't be there. The only part you need to have out of that example I gave in my previous post is this:

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highsierratopix.com/community/topics_anywhere.php?mode=show&f=uMS........"></script>
Again, be aware that I have removed a portion of the src link to keep this page from stretching...

Took me some time to get to it, but it's up and running, Jody. Let me know if what's there is OK with you.
