The Rodeo

A while ago I modified a wordpress plugin called WordPre.cio.us that harvested links from a del.icio.us page and added them to your site, (almost) automatically.

The original would produce a post for each day’s links, where I wanted a single post that would contain all the del.icio.us links since the last link post.

I received an email this morning asking how I made the link posts, so I figured I’d post the code here for anyone to use.

To Install

1. unzip this file to your wordpress plugin directory.
2. rename del2wp.config.php.example to del2wp.config.php
3. edit that file and change settings to point to your own del.icio.us feed.
4. that’s about it…

To Use

1. Add links to del.icio.us
2. When you want to generate a new post, goto http://www.yourdomain.com/path-to-script/del2wp.php in your browser (you’ll need to edit that link to point to where yours is located).
3. if there are any new links to put into the post, that will be done and you’ll be shown what the new post contains. If not, the script will say so.
4. again, that’s about it…
