Category: I started web publishing with Frontier, capitalizing on the verdant ecosystem of userTalk/object db modules in 97. Back from holiday travels, I’ve just caught up with the latest OPML Editor foo and have installed the wordpress and river of news “roots”. Nice to see signs of life in the Frontier platform.
The news river interface just screams for some greaseMonkey style hacking, but oohh the ancient html. A big honkin nested table with no structural demarcation of content. This is as far from semantic xml as you can get. It took a fair amount of wrangling to strip extraneous markup and nest the stories in appropriately classed divs and spans. Here ya go… newsRiverSuite.viewNewsItems.ftsc.
I haven’t gotten around to a good style sheet or user.js, please share if you do.
