As a DNN newbie, I'm sure there's an easy way around this, just not sure where to look or start. Here's the scoop:
I'm managing a couple websites for a group of radio stations in the Florida Keys. We're working on a "NOW PLAYING" module of our DNN-created sites. Our automation system at the station automatically sends a small text file [contains artist/title info on what's playing now,] to the root directory of the website.
I'm presently using the I-Frame module to display the text file. The info is fine, but I want to be able to configure the text to match the text color and background color of the text in the rest of the modules. Right now, it's just using a basic text font, and a white background.
Somehow I need to get this text configured and formatted before it gets displayed on the site. Any suggestions? I had downloaded a small flash file from the website for our automation system but it just never worked. I'm not looking for anything flashy or fancy... just display the text info.
Thanks...
Andrew
Okay... as somewhat of a DNN newbie, here's what I know (& don't know):
(1) We don't have the ability to store the file as HTML or format it there.
(2) I have no clue how to even build a module.
(3) I CAN store the file in XML format, but have never used the XML/XSL module. Also I wouldn't know how to create a custom .xsl file.
Any suggestions are very welcome. If you want to email me directly, click here.
Thanks!
