This script grabs
Neowin's latest news through their RDF files.
The RDF files contains the latest 10 news. You can choose how many news you want to retrieve.
News are divided into four categories: Main News, Software News, Gamer News and the latest forum posts. You can choose from which category you want to grab the news.
New in v1.1:Just updated the script to remove the "Neowin.net" that was shown as the first news item retrieved.
Installation:Simply unzip the
DeMo-Neowin.vbs file to your Samurize\Scripts folder.
Configuration:Open the vbs file in notepad and you will see the CONFIGURATION section. Setup the variables as follows:
NEOWIN_ADDR is the URL to Neowin's website. You don't need to change it.
TOTALNEWS is how many news you want to retrieve. Maximum value is 10!! Neowin only displays the last 10 news in their RDF files.
Usage:Add an ActiveScript to your Samurize config and select
DeMo-Neowin.vbs in the script selection box. Now all you need to do is select one of the first four functions in the function selection box as follows:
GetMainNews retrieves the main news.
GetGamerNews retrieves the gamer news.
The same goes with GetSoftwareNews and GetForumPosts.
Thanks:Special thanks goes to Clarence, AdamC and Alderaic!!
Now.. have fun!
