Take your life stream anywhere on the web with my recently completed jQuery FriendFeed plugin. It’s a simple little JavaScript plugin that displays everything you pipe into FriendFeed plus comments made via FriendFeed. It’s super simple, and super useful.
The implementation is very easy. Just include jQuery 1.3.2 and the FriendFeed plugin on the page via a script tag. You can get both files on the jQuery site linked above. Then you just need to instantiate it. The entire thing might looking something like this.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.friendfeed.js"></script> <div id="activityStream"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var options = {}; // optional second parameter to override $.friendfeed.defaults values jQuery('#activityStream').friendfeed( 'username', options ); </script>
Check out this demo I am using on my homepage. In the release on the jQuery site, I have also included some very simple CSS. The way the JavaScript is developed, you will be able to override everything. I make it simple by setting up a defaults object that can be manipulated via the second argument.
Additionally, you can replace or alter any method or value found in the $.friendfeed object by merely leveraging $.extend(); Look for more in depth documentation and usage in the near future. Or, if you want to share your samples, leave a comment below.
