DR Interactive Production

DR Interactive Production

From February of 2007 to November 2008 I worked for DR (Danmarks Radio - the national Danish broadcaster) in the department for interactive production (DR Interaktiv Produktion).

We are located in DR Byen - Segment 2

DR Update

The first project I worked on was DR Update - an online news service providing short news-stories around the clock.

DR Update with cliplist at right

It was my job to develop the frontend: Both the HTML and CSS, and the javascripts that updates the cliplist from special RSS-feeds from the DR CMS. Once every minute the cliplist is updated to check if more news-stories has been added.

dr.dk - New Startpage

In the late autumn of 2007 a colleague and I were asked to create the new startpage for dr.dk. It had been decided to split the screen in a column for news and a column for media. We developed a system that extracts content from the CMS (as XML) and formats this to the look defined by DR Design. This way the news-division can constantly update the content in different areas, using the CMS system that they already know.

www.dr.dk is the most visited webpage in Denmark

In the beginning of 2008 the new startpage was launched, and new features are still being added.

Mediaplayer Component

One of my main tasks in DR Interactive Production has been in the team that develops and maintains the generic mediaplayer component.

This component allows the editors all over dr to insert mediacontent on any page in the CMS System.

Rating Component

Another project was a rating module I developed for DR Musik
