Plugin Description
This plugin allows you to publish some of your Delicious bookmarks on your blog:
it retrieves the bookmarks from a specific tag and publishes them on your sidebar.
It could be useful, for example, to publish your readings on the Web.
Let’s say that you read a webpage and bookmark it as “readings”.
This plugin can get the bookmarks from the tag “readings” (or whatever it is) and display them on a widget in your sidebar. You can also use a shortcode if you want to display your reading list on a static page or on a single post.
The plugin may display for each tag:
- The title with link
- The description if any
- The date of the bookmark
- The tags assigned to the bookmark
- The link to the entire archive of that tag on Delicious
After the plugin’s activation, you will have a new widget in Appearance / Widgets.
Usage as shortcode
You can also use the plugin’s shortcode to display your list on a static page or on a single post. Use:
[dreadings feed_url="http://delicious.com/v2/rss/USERNAME/TAG-NAME"]
Change USERNAME and TAG-NAME as required.
In the widget you can use the full set of options. So, for example, if you want to display the tags, use:
[dreadings feed_url="http://delicious.com/v2/rss/USERNAME/TAG-NAME" display_tags=true]
Usage as PHP function
You can also use the main PHP function directly in your theme. Add these lines where you want it be displayed:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'dr_fetch_feed' ) ) {
$args = array(
'feed_url' => '',
'quantity' => 5,
'display_desc' => false,
'truncate' => 0,
'display_date' => false,
'date_text' => 'Stored on:',
'display_tags' => false,
'tags_text' => 'Tags:',
'display_hashtag' => true,
'display_arrow' => false,
'display_archive' => true,
'archive_text' => 'More posts',
'display_arch_arr' => true,
'new_tab' => false,
'nofollow' => true,
);
dr_fetch_feed( $args );
} ?>
Make sure to properly use the opening and closing tags <?php and ?> respectively.
The only mandatory option is feed_url. Also change USERNAME and TAG-NAME as required. The other options are the default options which you can change according your needs. It isn’t necessary to insert all of them.
