modulexcite / dashboard-5 Goto Github PK

Information

This is something I created for my current job and thought I would share it when other people since this is a popular thing to do for a TV or something in your office.

You can see a demo of it at http://skorecky.github.com/Dashboard/

Features

• Weather background color changes depending on hot(85+)/cold(60-)
• Turn off what you don't want to see.
• Super easy setup and install. Anything that can serve HTML/JavaScript

Supported Services

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Weather
• Time
• Chartbeat
• Linode

Notes:

• If you see the "Loading..." not going away, that is the json feed not loading. API's like Twitters limit to 150 requests/hour so if you exceed that, then you'll get this error. In the future I'll check for this and display an error.
• Twitter, Facebook, and Weather will refresh every 30 minutes by default. Chartbeat and Linode every 30 seconds by default.

Setup

Setup is super simple. Look inside 'javascripts/settings.js' to change your settings.

settings = {
  title : "Fuel Collective Dashboard", // Displayed on homepage
	twitter : "fuelcollective", // http://twitter.com/#!/[XXXXX]
	facebook : "148895398516230", // https://www.facebook.com/pages/XXXXX/[XXXXXXXX]
	weather : "60304", // zip code
	chartbeatDomain : "",
	chartbeatKey : "",
	linodeKey : "", // Linode - Look in My Profile for API key
	slowUpdateTime : 1800000, //update every 30 minutes - for twiiter, facebook, and weather
	fastUpdateTime : 30000, //update every 30 seconds - for chartbeat
	showUpDown : true, // show up/down status of twitter, facebook, and chartbeat
	time: true // show current time
};

anything left blank "", will simply not be displayed on the screen. More services will be added when I have time.
