NEWSFEEDS - CONFIGURATION

You can configure newsfeeds in two ways:

1. Use Cascading Style Sheets

For JavaScript and the IFRAME, the headlines are placed inside of an HTML table cell. The class names for the tags are:

<table class='tenniswireNewsFeedTBL'>

<tr class='tenniswireNewsFeedTR'>

<td class='tenniswireNewsFeedTD'>

<a class='tenniswireNewsFeedHREF' href=''>

Set the style for these classes any way you choose.

2. Specify Additional Parameters for the Newsfeed:

By default, you receive one headline. However, you can opt to receive more than one headline at a time and choose how far back you wish to go. Also, you can specify a refresh rate (for IFRAME) that determines how frequently (in seconds) the IFRAME is refreshed.

Simply add the following fields, along with desired values, onto the query string:

headLineCount

daysBack

refreshRate

IFRAME Example

The Code: <iframe src='http://tenniswire.org/newsFeeds/ tenniswireNewsFeedIF.php?headLineCount=2&daysBack=30&refreshRate=10&newWindow=yes' width='400' height='100' frameBorder='0' scrolling='no'></iframe>

The Resulting Newsfeed:

This configuration will cycle through all headlines for the past month. Every 10 seconds, the IFRAME will refresh with a different headline.
Javascript Example

The Code: <script language="JavaScript" src='http://tenniswire.org/newsFeeds/tenniswireNewsFeedJS.php?headLineCount=3&daysBack=90&refreshRate=4&newWindow=yes'></script>

The Resulting Newsfeed:

This configuration will cycle through all headlines for the past 90 days, 3 at a time. Every 4 seconds, the JavaScript will refresh with 3 more headlines.
