Wordpress Plugin: To show category Livemarks in Firefox

Arun bhai | Thu, Jun 23, 2005

Short Description

When you click on the RSS icon in the status bar of Firefox, it
automatically “discovers” some feeds for you. Would you like to see
every category of your blog appear as a seperate feed in Firefox? If
so activate this plugin. And yes, this is my first Wordpress plugin.

You can see it in action at
ArunRocks.com

How to Install it?

These are pretty standard.

  1. Download livemarks-0.5.zip. There are no additional required
    libraries

  2. Copy the livemarks.php file to your plugins folder at
    \wp-content\plugins

  3. Go to the plugins admin page and activate it

  4. There is no step 4! ;)


Full Description

Users of the Firefox and Opera browsers would familiar with live
bookmarks or livemarks. This is a browser’s in built mechanism to keep
track of any site’s RSS feeds. For eg: in firefox, an RSS icon appears
in the status bar, clicking on which will display a menu of feeds
automatically “discovered” by it. Wordpress blogs will automatically
have two feeds (varies with the template) - an Atom feed and an RSS
feed. This plugin tries to add the following to your list of of
“discovered” feeds -

  1. Every category of your blog appear as a seperate feed in Firefox if
    you are at your blog’s home page

  2. The relevant category of a post will appear if you are visiting a
    particular post

  3. The comments feed of your blog

I have a problem!

Sorry. Please post any bug reports as a comments here

whoo | Wed, Nov 16, 2005

This is a nice plugin, however I would like to see a fix for the validation issue that occurs when viewing single posts. The autodiscovery link is not placed in within the header tags.

Any chance you might look into that?

Thanks, whoo

(Quite new to WordPress)

I downloaded and played with this plugin. A very handy thing.

A couple of notes. The “type” attributes are wrong on most of the links: They claim to be Atom feeds, but are really RSS 2.0 feeds.

Also, on my site at least (since it’s brand new), I didn’t want feeds for most of the Categories, which are actually empty; and I also decided I didn’t want feeds for subcategories, so I’ve found a “AND categorycount 0 AND categoryparent = 0″ in the categories query to be helpful.

I removed the addfilter() on ‘thecontent’, because (as whoo points out) it ends up placing s within the body, which is invalid.

In livemarkindex(), after the “if (ishome())” I added an “else if (iscategory())” that executes “showcategoryfeeds(getthe_category())” (but I also add an explicit, visible link on my category.php).

Hi, thanks for the great plugin. I recently revamped your

Perishable Press | Tue, May 30, 2006

Hi, thanks for the great plugin. I recently revamped your plugin to include the feed links in the header tags, rather than within the body tags, so that it now produces valid XHTML. Also added an option for users to customize with their own blog title for links and cleaned up the links themselves. Also, per Micah’s helpful tips, links will not be displayed for subcategories or empty categories. Finally, the feed “type” has been set to xml/rss rather than Atom. The plugin still delivers context-sensitive feed links. I have been running the new plugin for several months now with no errors or problems, so I assume everything is working properly. I hope it helps somebody! Here is the new plugin URL: http://perishablepress.com/press/2006/05/29/category-livebookmarks-plugin/

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)? Thanks.

Johan | Thu, Sep 27, 2007

Hi Arun, nice plugin. Does not yet work with WP2.3 because of the changed db schema. Here is the SQL statement to make it work with 2.3 too:

select term.termid as catID, term.name as catname from $wpdb->termtaxonomy as tax, $wpdb->terms as term where tax.taxonomy=’category’ and term.termid = tax.termid order by term.name

Cheers, Jo

Wordpress Themes And Plugins for BrokenCodes | Thu, Oct 4, 2007

[...] But I didn’t like any of these due to one reason or another. I came to see “adsmindedwide” theme in use at Maki’s blog. Though I wasn’t impressed with their “prosense” theme I was very much impressed with the look and layout and simplicity of the “adsmindedwide” theme, but unfortunately it had some bugs and it wasn’t a widgetized theme either. Next thing I had to look for was plugins , this one was comparatively easy as I knew my requirements clearly and you can find a list of plugins listed according to the category in which they fall at Wordpress Codex . I found the following plugins useful and suitable to my requirements. · Adsense-Deluxe · Category Livemarks · Comment Email Responder · FD Feedburner Plugin · FeedBurner Stats · Get Recent Comments · Share This [...]
