fix page in PHPS.

<li><a href="%href%">%title%</a> - %description%</li>

to

<li><a href="%href%">%title%</a> %description%</li>

However there is not (and won’t be) a way to disable it only if the bookmark has an empty description. To add that feature and persevere the highly customizable nature of Postalicious I would need to make the template formatting even more complex. And I already think the template formatting is too complex…

Any ideas on whats wrong? I’ll be happy to provide some more detailed debug data for testing purposes (please email me then).

There’s a typo on line 1347 of the latest relase - strripos.

Very impressive plugin, thanks!

Update Failed. Potalicious is already updating at the moment.

I’m trying to automatically post from delicious. Trying to get it to work but it doesn’t seem to do anything and the log just fills up with the above message.

Here is the error:

Warning: array_reverse() [function.array-reverse]: The argument should be an array in /mnt/gs02/herd04/39957/domains/blog.fvda.co.uk/html/wp-content/plugins/postalicious/wp-postalicious.php on line 830

Should we expect an update soon?
Great plugin!!!

thanks for the work you’ve put into it!

There is a UTF mode bit somewhere that needs to be flipped. So close to perfection….

So I set it to:

‘Only post once every 1 days after 11:00 pm’

But today it posted at 1 pm. Which is a bit frustrating. Any idea why?

Great plugin, btw.

Is this possible?

Harry,
If you’re still reading this and still have the same problem, please let me know. As for the RSS feed, the feed contains all comments and it does work (at least for me). For the moment I have no plans of adding a per-post RSS comments feed (not that any other post actually has comments).

Bill,
It is possible to do that but you need to do a few tricks. If you’re interested, please contact me by using the ‘Contact me’ page (linked at the bottom) and I’ll walk you through the steps you need to do.

Not wanting to go on about it, but there’s a ‘comments rss’ link under this post with this url:

http://neop.gbtopia.com/%3Ca%20href=%27http://neop.gbtopia.com/?feed=rss2&p=174%27%3ERSS%202.0%3C/a%3E

I think Postalicious doesn’t work anymore with Delicious 2.0 that has been released yesterday.

It’s really a useful plugin. Thanks a lot !

Kevin, Tama:
I am aware of this problem, and it’s probably not too hard to fix. I’ll be doing it as soon as I have some free time.

Delicious has a post service but those go right to publish and not to draft, not as flexible as this. Thanks again for the great work!

Tagging is also broken at my site.

If there is anything further I can do to help fix the problem (Where can I donate?) let me know and thank you for your great plugin and your effort.

Cheers.

Dennis,
You can donate through PayPal by following the link of the right side of this page or the PayPal button at the bottom of the Postalicious page. All donations are greatly appreciated.

I have a small feature request. I use the “update now” instead of hourly updates, and I post as drafts.

After Postalicious reports how many bookmarks it has added to the new post, I need to go to my drafts and edit the post before I publish it.

I don’t know if it’s possible but I’d love the text that tells me how many bookmarks were added to have some “edit link” for the draft so I can edit the post right from the postalicious page.

I’m using Postalicious with delicious and Wordpress 2.6.

I’m trying to change the html structure of how bookmark lists are rendered.

Currently, delicious tags are wrapped in a paragraph and I want to be able to simply force a line break and have tags sit flush under descriptions.

I’ve controlled the visual look of the paragraph of tags on my blog using CSS, but I’m concerned with how my bookmarks appear in RSS readers. At the moment it’s a little messy with gaps and I like to keep it visually compact for easy scanning.

Any ideas on this are much appreciated.

Best

Adam,
Postalicious doesn’t add any html of it’s own, all the html produced by Postalicious comes straight from the templates. I suggest checking your templates to see if there are any stray paragraph tags.
Alternatively, there are some instances in which other plugins intercept the post before it’s posted and attempt to add tags to make your posts nicer by adding certain tags. Unfortunately there’s not much I can do about that since it depends a lot on the specifics of your WordPress installation.

I had a gnawing suspicion that it wasn’t Postalicious, but simply got impatient with searching through the code, prompting my query above.

Apologies for the false accusation!

Basically, I want one post a day, maximum, but only if I’ve saved more than three bookmarks. Could you walk me through what needs to be toggled to accompish this? I thought I had it set with (1.) “Automatic Hourly Updates” activated, (2.) minimum three bookmarks, but (3.) setting “Only post every [1] days”. But I got several posts within a day every time I had three bookmarks accumulated.

Also, I think you have a couple of errors in the documentation page that may confuse people:

“Publishes posts when they reach the maximum number of posts”: I presume this should read, “Publishes posts when they reach the maximum number of bookmarks”.

“Only post once every # hours at (time)”: I presume this should read, “Only post once every # days at (time).”

Mahalo for an excellent plugin!

Settings:

Minimum number of bookmarks per post: 1
Limit posts by: No limit

Thanks

Ah, that’s why this wasn’t doing what I thought it did. Is there any way to get Postalicious to post at a fixed time every day, as long as (for example) there’s at least one link in the draft post?

For whatever reason, that’s what I thought this setting did, but the above indicates it waits until “the first update” to happen at the specific time, rather than just happening at the specified time.

Reason being, I’d much rather have a way for my links to be posted at the same time every day — so, for example, every day right before midnight all of that day’s links will be posted.

Other than the constant clean up (1 new draft per hour is a lot of drafts!), the plug in seems to be working great.

“Senator’s bill to ban profanity - Boing Boing — pSouth Carolina Senator Robert Ford is attempting to outlaw profanity. Under his bill, the penalty for lewd language would be up to 5 years in person and/or $5000 in fines./p”

My bookmarks have this format in the settings: “* “%title%”:%href% — %description%”

It’s Textile formatted, but those broken tags where there with the default format as well.

I had a quick look at the source code, but I couldn’t see anything at a glance that added tags to the description.

Glad to hear you liked the new version of Postalicious der Dennis, my goal with this version was not only to make the system much more powerful but also a lot more intuitive. I was finally able to get rid of the questions explaining the different publishing behaviors in the FAQ

Bookmarks on date to date

bookmark link

this is an awesome plugin and its going to save me so much time. i really appreciate you putting it out there.

Thank you so much. This is almost exactly perfect. Sorry for the confusing comment. Let me try and be more clear.

With the php script that you provided in your comment to me this is how it currently looks:

Delicious Bookmarks (post title links to bookmark link)
February 17, 2009 // Drew Stauffer

Periodic Table of the Operators (actual bookmark and links to website)

This is a sample bookmark to see if we can get the formatting the way I like it.

The only thing left I want to try and accomplish is instead of having the heading/title “Delicious Bookmarks”…

Is it possible to make the bookmark the title?

So in my example it would look like this:

Periodic Table of the Operators (post title links to bookmark link)

February 17, 2009 // Drew Stauffer

This is a sample bookmark to see if we can get the formatting the way I like it.

Thanks neop

No worries. I think I got it.

Thanks again for you help

Thanks, that is what worked.

I tried doing that before and it would actually post %title% as the post title, but then when I changed that number from 0 to 1 and then changed the title to %title% it worked perfectly.

Thanks.

I noticed that the Postalicous plugin isn’t following my configuration. I defined in “Post time” to wait at least 160 hours between two postings (to have a weekly link posting). But I noticed that the plugin posted a new posting +/- 26 hours after the previous one.
Any ideas?

Just started using Postalicious on my cinematography and steadicam blog at http://emoore.co.uk/blog/, and I love it.

One thing - is it possible to somehow mark a section of the ‘notes’ you make in your Delicious bookmarks to be displayed as a blockquote in the Postalicious post?

I like to take a short paragraph or sentence from whatever I’m bookmarking to give a taste of it in my Postalicious posts. I usually follow it with some commentary of my own.

It would be great to be able to get those extracts styled as blockquotes.

Now, I don’t think Delicious itself allows you to use HTML in the ‘notes’ field, but I was thinking what about an option in Postalicious that detects the use of “quotation marks” and adds an HTML blockquote tag around that section in its Wordpress posts?

It would have to detect the first and last ” quotation marks in the notes field so as to avoid blockquoting out any genuine quotations given as part of the extract, but that seems like a fairly simple bit of code.

What do you think?

Martin,
%content% is not valid, %bookmarks% is probably what you’re looking for.

Scott,
Yes, but it’s not quite so simple, if you’re interested, send me an email using this form, and I’ll guide you through it.

“Automatic hourly updates activation failed. Unable to establish connection. SimplePie said: A feed could not be found at http://www.google.com/reader/atom/user%2F17869725964176875251%2Fstate%2Fcom.google%2Freading-list”

Did I miss a step, or did I break something?

SimplePie is already in the core of wordpress, so a SimplePie plugin is no needed.

I too was having the same error message from Postalicious, “Automatic hourly updates activation failed. Unable to establish connection. SimplePie said: A feed could not be found at …..”. I thought perhaps there was a problem at Delicious.com. I will download your fixed version and see if that corrects the problem.

Thanks,

Chris

My intention is to manually publish a post once a week. But the plugin creates a draft every day. I’d like if it could create a new draft when the post is published by the author (option already included in the plugin) and could continue to add bookmarks in that new draft until I publish the post, without auto-creating a new post every day.

Is it possible to accomplish it by options page? For example, in the “Post separation” option, I could set “999″ as hours between posts. Do you think this be a good solution?

You’re a great helper, man!

Phil,
In fact, Patrick contacted me about using the Pinboard RSS feed, and I suggested just setting up the service as Yahoo Pipes feed. The code that handles Yahoo Pipes feeds is actually quite generic and should provide basic functionality for pretty much any feed. Have you used Postalicious with any other feeds? My guess is that for some reason Postalicious thinks that the last bookmark it posted has a date later than all of the bookmarks in the Pinboard feed, so none of the bookmarks in the feed seem new to Postalicious. As for you’re IP being blocked by the contact site…I didn’t even know how that’s possible. You can also try using this form which I think is less strict.

I could use the delicious automated blog posting but i) it doesn’t give me the nice title that postalicious allows for and ii) it doesn’t make the delicious tags into WordPress tags. I really prefer postalicious.

Anyway, I guess that some people have developed a workaround that lets postalicious pull in daily links without this error, but I don’t get what that workaround is. Is there a step-by-step explanation of how to get going again with postalicious?

Thanks so much!

I’ll keep an eye on it and tell you in case of problems.

Good job!

What can I do?

Only the link is wrong.
For testing purposes I bookmarked the Google homepage and gave it two bookmarks: google and searchengines. The two tags appear correctly on my page but the two links are
http://delicious.com/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.delicious.com%2Fv2%2Frss%2Faldolat/google
and
http://delicious.com/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.delicious.com%2Fv2%2Frss%2Faldolat/searchengines

For a month it will be there.

Aldo,
You are indeed right, I forgot about that when I made delicious a URL service. I’ll try to fix it as soon as I have some free time.

Sorry for the late reply. No, don’t upgrade. There’s no real advantage and as Aldo noted above there’s a bug in the new version which was not present in older version and that I still haven’t had time to fix.

Fantastic plugin for Wordpress…

I have a problem to integrate Adsense in template postalicious.

When i press “Update now” the plugin run very well… i can see the template correctly.

BUT when i schedule the post… i can’t see the code adsense.

The code disappears in the post generated.

I’m forgetting something? Any ideas on this?

Have a nice day and thxs for your time!!

Steve: I’m not sure what might be going wrong there, I’d have to check out the logs to try to see if I can figure it out.
