RDF Files
Linux.ie now uses RDF files to allow people to catch up on all the news in their Evolution Summary pages. There are three RDF files that can be downloaded.

• http://www.linux.ie/news.rdf
  
• http://www.linux.ie/last10ilug.rdf
  
• http://www.linux.ie/last10cork.rdf
  

Other file formats.
/ilugnews.txt is an equivalent of Slashdot's ultramode.txt.
It's used so that the cork.linux.ie website can include the same news items that you see in the main page here, essentially providing ILUG news for webportals.

If you want something a little bit more exotic and would like to hack some code then you would be well advised to have a look at the code page on Slashdot as ilugnews.txt is very, very similar in form to Slashdot's ultramode.txt file.

You can now add ILUG News to your non CGI, non SSI enabled website, add the following code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SOURCE="http://www.linux.ie/news.cgi?d=js">
If you want to limit the number of entries included in your website use the 'e' argument: e.g. /news.cgi?d=js&e=1

You can also add Cork LUG News to your website with JavaScript, add the following to your HTML code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SOURCE="http://cork.linux.ie/news.cgi">
</SCRIPT>

You can add a list of the last 10 messages posted to either the main ILUG mailing list, or to the Cork mailing list with the following line of code (changing 'ilug' to 'cork' if need be):
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SOURCE="http://www.linux.ie/last10.cgi?list=ilug">
</SCRIPT>

If you want to see these in action then please look at the example page, as coded by Proinnsias Breathnach. Because Netscape includes the output of the javascript when you 'view source', you will need to look at this page for it's source code.
 

Alternatively, if you use Mozilla, you can add a ILUG News sidebar. There is also a sidebar for the most recent postings on blogs.linux.ie, get it here.
