FasterSkier Announces News Stream

Now you can have the latest FasterSkier.com news and articles on your website. It's free and simple to use!

There are two ways to use the News Stream, depending on your level of programming expertise. If you have questions or problems with any of this, please let us know and we can help you get set up.

EASY WAY- Cut and paste the following code into your homepage HTML:

<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php" type="text/javascript">
</script>

It will look like this:


ADVANCED - RSS Feeds

RSS 2.0: http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/rss.php
RSS 0.91: http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/rssXML.php

CUSTOMIZE YOUR STREAM:
Only want to display training articles? Or only want to display a certain series of articles? No problem. You can use the following URL attributes to customize your News Stream.

All of these URL attributes can be used with both the 'EASY' stream and the RSS stream.

Sections: To show only articles in a certain section of FasterSkier.com, all it takes is adding a section=# attribute after headlines.php.
If you want to show only News:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?section=1" type="text/javascript">
</script>
If you want to show only Racing articles:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?section=2" type="text/javascript">
</script>
If you want to show only Training articles:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?section=3" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Feature Series: Want to display a certain series of Feature Articles? Use the series attribute:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?series=1" type="text/javascript">
</script>
Using series = 1, as shown here, will display articles from the "The Hunt For Gold By Bjorn Daehlie" series. Browse all the Feature Series on this page.

Description: By default, the News Stream displays only the title of each article. But if you want to display a short introduction for each article as well, use the desc=1 attribute:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?desc=1" type="text/javascript">
</script>
If desc equals anything other than '1' , the description will not be displayed.

Limit: By default, the News Stream displays the six (6) most recent articles. But if you want to display a different number of articles, use the limit attribute:
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?series=1&limit=10" type="text/javascript">
</script>

This will display the most recent 10 articles in the Bjorn Daehlie series.

Target: If your website uses frames, or if you want the FasterSkier articles to open in a new window, you can use the target attribute.
<script src="http://www.fasterskier.com/xml/headlines.php?target=_blank" type="text/javascript">
</script>

This attibute works in exactly the same way as the HTML target attribute does. You can put target=whateveryouwant in the URL string.

ATOM, ETC.

Want to access our News Stream using ATOM or other News Aggregator?
