viewPodcastBox macro
If you look on www.podcatch.com, you'll see a box in the right margin that shows the ten most recent podcasts discovered by audio.weblogs.com.
That box is done with the viewPodcastBox macro, which I'm releasing here, so if you have a Manila server, you can use it without any coding; or if you're using another server-side script system, you could adapt this script.
It's released on an as-is basis, not copyrighted, do-with-it-as-you-please-ware, authorship credit would be nice, but is not required.
Code
Here's the source for user.html.macros.viewPodcastBox as a Frontier script.
And for those who don't have Frontier or a compatible script environment, here's the text version of the script.
How to install
1. Download the script and open it, clicking on OK to all dialog boxes.
2. The script should be open. To install, just click on the run button. It installs itself.
Compatibility
After installing, you can call the macro from any story or news item in Manila, or in a template or module, basically anywhere you can call a macro. Note that while it can run in Manila, it does not require Manila, so you can use it in Radio apps, or in your own Frontier-based apps.
Example
Here's a page that illustrates the use of the viewPodcastBox macro.
