Hello PH-techies,
Is it possible (other than changing colours/fonts etc) to change the formatting of the newsfeed widgets as they appear on the 3rd party site?
For example, if I wanted to change the style of links (currently blue underlined), could I?
Thanks.

Actually, just noticed css overwrites link styles.
But as for the font, it seems to take that from the url (ff=), even if I enclose the <script> between <p> tags that I have set to a different font.

The formatting tags are as follows:

fontFace = ff : This is array of 0=arial, 1=times new roman, 2=verdana
fontSize = fs : This value goes into size of font attribute
fontColor = fc : This value goes into color of font attribute
images = i : Turns images on and off 0 = off and 1 = on
width = w : Width in pixels of the widget box (which is an HTML table)
backgroundColor = bg : Value of widget box background color
headlineColour = hc : Value of headline color

If you would like me to add any more fonts it is pretty easy to do, let me know and I will add them in as an update on the servers is going live tomorrow and I can include it with that.

Thanks for that.
The lucida grande font would be great if it could be added.
Also, is it possible to add another line break between stories so there is a line of whitespace?

OK.. have changed the code and is now live

fontFace = ff : This is array of 0=arial, 1=times new roman, 2=verdana, 3=lucida grande

Added new querystring element you will have to add at end as &ng=2 (where the number details are below)
newsGap = ng : Scale from 1 to 20 of how big the gap should be

These aren't added to the widget generator as yet.

Hope that helps, any probs then let me know

ETA: Just read your occupation, so dont need the querystring explanations smile
