Silly tool for Radio
<%myNote( QuoteBoxSuite.quoteBox(), "yellow", "right" )%>I've just released my first UserLand Radio tool. It's very silly but has taught me a bit about tools, Radio and UserTalk programming.
Called 'QuoteBox' what it does is to download the days quotes from QuotationsPage.com and allow you to embed a quotation in one of your HTML pages using the macro <%QuoteBoxSuite.quoteBox()%>.
It only downloads the quotations once each day (in accordance with QuotationsPage instructions) and dishes up a random quote each time it is called.
Installation instructions. Download the QuoteBox.root file into the Tools sub folder of your Radio installation, then add the macro to a template page.
Some simple configuration of the macro can be done using the parameters:
- width
- borderColour
- bgColour
e.g. <%QuoteBoxSuite.quoteBox( "100%", "black", "white" )%>
The example in this posting has been wrapped inside Paolo Valdemarin's myNote() macro which creates a very nice highlight effect. Thank you Paolo!
