HFR News Feeds


 High Fidelity Review News Feeds:
 Add High-Resolution Stories to Your Site

  Deliver dynamic, up-to-date high-resolution audio news on your own web site by adding a High Fidelity Review news feed.

High Fidelity Review is recognised as the leading source of DVD-Audio and SACD news, syndicated to major organisations the world over, and now you too can carry news headlines and summaries to enhance your own site with the simple addition of a few lines of JavaScript code.

The look and 'feel' of High Fidelity Review's news feeds can be customised to match the design of any site and the content controlled so that the news delivered is best suited to your target audience, either DVD-Audio, SACD or mixture of both.

Our news feeds are a free service with the intention of introducing the latest high-resolution developments to a wider audience, perfect for manufacturers, software producers and enthusiast web sites alike. No manual page updates are required, when our news is updated, so is yours.

Adding a newsfeed to your own site is a two step process:
 
 
1. Paste the following code between the <head> and </head> tags of your page (alternatively, it can be called as a separate .js file).
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
hfr_news_width = "300";
hfr_news_target = "_top";
hfr_headline_font = "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica";
hfr_headline_size = "1";
hfr_headline_color = "#0000CC";
hfr_text_font = "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica";
hfr_text_size = "1";
hfr_text_color = "#000000";
//-->
</script>
The parameters specified here can be adapted to suit the design of your own site, just remember to use valid font names, sizes and colours.
hfr_news_target controls the window in which the news story opens. "_top" opens the story in the same browser window, change this to "_blank" if you want the news to open in a new window, or to the name of a frame on your own site.
2. Paste one (or more) of the following lines of code into the page in the position where you want the news headlines to appear. The lines differ slightly depending on the type of news you wish to display.
For DVD-Audio news:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highfidelityreview.com/newsfeed/dvdaudio.js"></script>
For Super Audio CD news:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highfidelityreview.com/newsfeed/sacd.js"></script>
For mixed DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD news:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.highfidelityreview.com/newsfeed/allformats.js"></script>

Solutions for common JavaScript problems:

1) If you are seeing a JavaScript error, then the chances are that the first block of code is missing, incorrectly formatted or in the wrong place within your page. Make sure each line has a value and ends with a semicolon. Make sure there are no unwanted carriage returns within the code; consult the instructional text file to be sure (browsers wrap text to fit it on-screen).

2) If the news doesn't display on a page make sure that the second part of the code is correct, especially the URL of the JavaScript file upon the High Fidelity Review server. Remember that this file must remain on the HFR machine for your news feed to be updated automatically. If the news still isn't displayed and no errors are apparent, then ensure that JavaScript is enabled within your browser.
