CMS???

[Chad Meyers]

I offered to help "update" a website and ended up building a whole new one. . . oop's

Now I don't want to turn around and say they have to pay me to maintain it, and I don't want to be making "posts" every day in the News section of the site.  I am trying to avoid pushing the site into Joomla (resource hog) but would like to add a simple blog like CMS for the 3 pages under the news category.

Any thoughts? (keep it MooTools please)

I thought I might try to just push content from Blogger because the original site is done in Google Pages, but I am not getting anywhere fast.

Thanks,

Chad

Original site http://www.lowerpowerrates.ca/

Using Request.JSONP to get feeds from Blogger/Twitter/Facebook/Wordpress/etc has been working well for me for a few years now.

With a bit of wrangling, it might be a solution, because you can pull in anything you want..

if there isn't a direct feed, use YQL to provide:
example: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/#h=select%20title%20from%20rss%20where%20url%3D%22http%3A//www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml%22

BLOGGER:
original href is "http://whatever.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/News?alt=rss" (you can set up different pages to pull in different categories)
send to 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?' with:
callback=Request.JSONP.request_map.request_1
format=json
q=select * from rss where url="http://whatever.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/News?alt=rss" limit 5

FACEBOOK
original href is "http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=0000000000&format=atom10"
send to 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?' with:
callback=Request.JSONP.request_map.request_1
format=json
q=select * from atom where url="http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=0000000000&format=atom10" limit 1

TWITTER:
original href is "https://twitter.com/Whatever"
send to https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json with:
callback=Request.JSONP.request_map.request_0
count=3
screen_name=Whatever
include_rts=1

Scan page links as required:

var YQLgetter = new Class({
Extends: Request.JSONP,
options:{ query:'select * from',lang:'rss',format:'json',data:{count:1,screenname:''} },

initialize: function(href,url,options){
this.parent(options);
if( url.test(/\.json$/) ){
href = url;this.options.data = {'count':this.options.data.count,'screen_name':this.options.data.screenname,'include_rts':1};
} else {
this.options.data = {q:this.options.query+' '+this.options.lang+' where url="'+url+'" limit '+this.options.data.count,'format':this.options.format};
}
this.options.url = href;
if(!this.options.url){return false;} 
},

success: function(data,se){ 
if(data[0]){ this.options.data.since_id = data[0].id; }this.parent(data,se); 
}
});
