Well after a little play I have created an Edugeek Toolbar for myself

 

It has a link to the homepage / google search box / Edugeek News RSS link / Edugeek forums RSS link / some eduation based RSS links / My account menu.

 

Download from http://edugeek.ourtoolbar.com/ and have a play.

 

All comments and ideas welcome. Could be a good addtition to users of the site?

main website

 

http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Search&search=new

 

where new is search term

 

and forum is

 

http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_keywords=new&mode=results

also a link to latest posts http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=newposts that would be good as well

 

also if want here is rss for edugeek conf pages http://www.edugeekconference.net/index.php?option=com_rss&feed=RSS2.0&no_html=1

 

and rss for wiki as well http://www.russdev.com/edugeek/feed.php

All done

 

Search Dropdown menu now has links to search the edugeek site and edugeek forum.

 

News RSS icon now has general news and conference news sections

 

Forum RSS icon already lists latest posts

 

New Wiki RSS icon added

 

What do you think?

 

If there is a feed or link you would like to see let me know

[russdev]

bye the bye two things

 

I get only forums and wiki rss feed and no news or edugeek conference news...

 

Seems to be problem with font as well see attached pic.

if cant be done then if want will look into coding script that whan ran will redirect you to current logged in persons gallery.

@Sysman: The whole 'My Account' button links to your section of the site. The font also looks a little knackered on my system. Otherwise it's rather nice though

 

Cheers!

Right made the changes to My Public Profile and had to remove the link to My Gallery.

 

There is an issue with FF with RSS icons with more then 1 feed in them. See http://forum.effectivebrand.net/index.php?topic=1524.0

 

Should be working under IE though - see attached image.

Wonderful stuff!

 

Funny things happening in IE7 - the news dropdowns won't display.

[Guest]

Hopfully the its the same reason as firefox and will be sorted soon. If not I'll just add single RSS feeds to edugeek only feeds until its fixed.

A note for people who have installed the toolbar and found they have Weather + Email Notification buttons they don't want.

 

Download the attached file and copy to the edugeek toolbar program folder. Default location c:\program files\edugeek

 

Now working with IE 7 beta 3
