Hello all this is my first package for 2008. I have created a quick XSLT package
to allow you to display your latest twitter
status’s on your website/blog.
For example here is my twitter page
where you can see what upto or thinking.
This package installs the following files:
- bin/CWSHelperTwitter.dll
- xslt/CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
- /usercontrols/Installer/CWSTwitter/cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx
The installer usercontrol cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx is used to
modify the /config/xsltExtensions.config
to setup my custom XSLT extension to allow us to modify the strange format of
the twitter date format.
The actual package installs the following into umbraco:
- Macro: [XSLT] CWS:Display Twitter Status
- XSLT: CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
Hello with a few days to go until Christmas, I thought I would share with you a
mashup tip using Umbraco to list my recently listened to tracks using the
Last.FM service and then using jQuery I am
able to do an AJAX call to get the album art image remotely.
Before I start I will show you the method that can achieve this result entirely
using XSLT in Umbraco however this is a slow process and is alot quicker to use
the jQuery method which I will show you afterwards.
XSLT solution
Below is the XSLT code for you to view how easy it is to create a
mashup just using XSLT in Umbraco.
