Java script embed of Categories on other websites

Post by waheed »

Hiya everyone how are you? iv just recently started using Serendipity blog i have to say its by far the best i have come across in terms of flexibility, ease of adding content and plus installing plugins.

There is one plugin i have been looking for a long time which is the ability to show a Categorie of my blog on someone elses website using Javascript, alot of my members of my site, have their own websites and they would like to show updated news from my blog on their website.

is it possible to do this with Serendipity?

Thanx

Yeah, that's easily possible using our cool plugin API. But it's not recommended to do that - instead people should use the RSS feeds and display those on your website. That's already a standard exchange format which can be used by a lot of applications.

Using a javascript will create much traffic on your site, but it could be done (see dma147's posting about that in the parallel thread)
