JODPIE Bar is a remotely hosted script that dinamically provides live Open Directory data through a programming solution based on the combination of server-side scripting (PHP) and client-side scripting (JavaScript).
JODPIE Bar is thought to use only a little section of web page display; the script is customizable and provides a partial and modified presentation of ODP data using an on the fly randomizer. Links are displayed using thumbshots provided by Thumbshots.org.
With this script it’s possible to embed live Open Directory data in a web page just in seconds; after inserting few lines in a section of a web page and live Open Directory data will be displayed in such section.
JODPIE Bar has been developed having in mind blogging platforms; remotely provided html is as simple as possible to integrate trasparently with many html designs. In particular the script has been tested with Wordpress sidebar and some themes provided with it.
Next version will provide remotely hosted pure javascript while current version needs PHP on hosting server.
