Introduction
Mynewsdesk Hosted Newsroom is an easy and convenient way for you to implement your newsroom on your own web site.
Hosted Newsroom embeds a copy of your newsroom into your own web site, with custom styling. Through javascript, we append an auto adjusting iframe into your site.
Requirements
- Your web page must be at least 940 pixels in width.
- You need to be able to upload a file to your web site.
Implementation
The implementation part is comprised of three easy steps.
-
Upload a helper file
The helper file is available for download on your Hosted Newsroom Embed settings page. It needs to be on the same domain as your web site.
For instance if you to implement Hosted Newsroom on your site:
http://www.company.com/press/newsroomor
http://press.company.com/newsroomThen you need to upload the helper file to:
http://www.company.com/(optional)/helper.htmlPlease be aware that one Newsroom can only be shown on one domain. If you want to be able to show your newsroom on multiple domains, check out our Webservice for Newsroom.
-
Provide us with the link to your helper file
In order to bypass cross site domain scripting, we invoke a javascript from the helper file that, among other things, adjusts the height on the Hosted Newsroom iframe. Therefore, we need save the URL to the helper file in the embed settings on the Publish site.
-
Copy and paste the javascript snippet
To implement Hosted Newsroom on your site, you need to copy and paste a javascript snippet into your page, in the DOM tree where you want the iframe to appear.
Styling your Hosted Newsroom
Styles are easily managed using our styles form inside Mynewsdesk Hosted Newsroom settings page.
We also allow custom CSS rules if you wish to further style your Hosted Newsroom.
