Del.icio.us Daily Posts Formatting Plugin for Wordpress 2.0

The Del.icio.us Daily Posts Formatting Plugin for Wordpress 2.0 allows you to format the daily posts created by del.icio.us. This means you have more options to style the way the bookmarks look on your Wordpress blog.

Questions and remarks can be left at the Drunkey Love blog.

Requirements

You should have a del.icio.us account and have Wordpress 2.0 (or a later version) installed. Kevin Lim and Michael, if you prefer Dutch, explain how you can let del.icio.us post your bookmarks to your blog.

Installation

  1. Since you're reading this file, you already have unzipped the archive. Now upload the delicious-daily-post-formatting folder to your wp-content/plugins folder.
  2. Activate the plugin from the plugins section of your Wordpress administration.
  3. Go to the options section of your Wordpress administration, select "Del.icio.us Daily Post Format" and supply your formatting rules.

Usage

There are different fields available to give you as much freedom as possible to achieve the look you want to have.

Title format
The way you want the title of the post to look.
Before bookmarks
Text that's inserted once before the list of bookmarks.
Bookmark format
Each bookmark from the daily post is formatted according to the rules you supply here.
After bookmarks
Text that's inserted once after the list of bookmarks.
Excerpt format
The way you want your excerpt to look.
Tag format
The way you want a tag for a bookmark to look.
Maximum number of bookmarks
If you want to limit the amount of bookmarks shown, use this field. For example: if you want only one bookmark to show: set this value to 1. You want two bookmarks to show: set this value to 2. You want all bookmarks to show? Set the value to 0.
