Creating a news feed for other sites to add
How Do I?
I have a request from an industry association that would like to add our trade news into their web pages. (side bar widget sort of thing)
I was wondering what would be the best approach with EE to do this, I have an RSS feed and can easily customize those, but if there is a better way to make it seamless and easy for the other side to add would be the ideal solution.
I could also use an iFrame set up with a template that it points to.
Any other brighter ideas?
Thanks!
I believe the RSS feed is the simplest solution.
If you choose to create a template for iframe embedding, they can’t affect the styling because cross-domain scripting. This means responsibility for the design will fall on your team/company. Yuck.
Another alternative would be creating an unauthenticated API endpoint that simply responds to a GET request with a JSON (or XML or WebPack or whatever) package containing the news records packaged for consumption.
