Over the coming days and weeks we will be posting some short tutorials on our features and tools here at WPscoop, a few days ago we updated our “Browser Submit Button” to include selectable text from the submitted page. This post will show you how to place a configurable WPscoop Stories widget on your website or Blog.

Image of the stories block and you can see a liv e version on the right sidebar of this blog.

The code for the story block is all configurable here are some of the elements you can change and style yourself.

  • edit widgets width
  • edit widgets height
  • edit text size
  • edit which feed categories are displayed
  • edit how many stories are displayed
  • edit show votes or not show votes
  • edit widgets background color
  • edit story text color
  • edit story link color
  • edit the border color
  • edit vote background color
  • edit vote text color
  • edit vote block background color

Basically you can configure the code how you like and style the colours to integrate with your websites design.

This is the code below you can insert into your website for the block to display.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--mce:0--></script><script src="http://wpscoop.com/sites/all/modules/drigg/drigg_box/drigg_box.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:1--></script>

If you would like to header and style the block for a wordpress sidebar try copying the code below to your sidebar.php and modifying the DIV Class or ID depending on your theme along with the H header tag.

<div class="yoursideblockclasshere">
<h2>WPscoop Published Stories</h2>
<ul>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--mce:2--></script><script src="http://wpscoop.com/sites/all/modules/drigg/drigg_box/drigg_box.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:3--></script></ul>
</div>

I will be working on hopefully turning this feature into a configurable wordpress plugin over the coming weeks, the current code can however be inserted into any web blog or cms including wordpress. Any bugs or configuration, placement questions please leave a comment.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    Terrific function! This is the type of information that should be shared close to the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
