October 25th 2011: Delicious has removed their javascript feed, and the plugin doesn’t work any more. I writing a new version, and will release it soon. The new version is available at WordPress.org

December 19th 2010: Rumor says that Delicious is shutting down, this is NOT true.

The Delicious tagroll for WordPress plugin adds a new shortcode to WordPress, the shortcode. The shortcode creates a tag cloud or a list of tags (see parameters below).

Demo: http://soderlind.no/bookmarks/

Plugin: You’ll find the plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/delicious-tagroll-shortcode/

Installation: Download the plugin and save it in wp-content/plugins (remember to activate in Plugins) or wp-content/mu-plugins or install it from inside WordPress in Plugins->Add New (search for “delicious tagroll”)

Usage: Add the shortcode to a Page. The shortcode supports the following parameters:

• Mandatory:
  • username=”delicious username” (if you forget it, my tagroll is displayed instead )
• Optional:
  • title=”tagroll title” (default =”My Delicious Tags”, use ” ” if you don’t want a tagroll title)
  • icon=”true or false” (default=”true”)
  • count=”number of tags” (default=”100″)
  • sort=”alpha or freq” (default = “alpha”)
  • flow=”cloud or list” (default = “cloud”)
  • showname=”true or false”(default = “true”, show your delicious name)
  • showadd=”true or false”  (default = “true”, show add to network)
  • showcounts=”true or false” (default = “false”, show tag counts)
  • mincount (default mincount=”10″), eg. show only tags with 10 or more links
  • mincolor=”73adff”
  • maxcolor=”3274d0″
  • minfont=”12″
  • maxfont=”35″

Change log

v 2.0

• Delicious removed their JavaScript feed so I had to do a total rewrite
  • Creates the tag cloud server-side (good for SEO) and lets you change the look and feel using the included style sheet.
  • Uses the Delicious RSS feed API
  • Caches the feed for one hour. Delicious might block you if you access their feed API too often.

• Some attributes are removed from the shortcode (you can change these using the ps_delicious_tagroll.css style sheet in the plugin directory):
  • mincolor
  • maxcolor
  • flow
• Also removed the attributes
  • showname
  • showadd
  • icon
• Added a new attribute:
  • mincount (default mincount=”10″), eg. show only tags with 10 or more links

v 1.1

• changed parameter name=”true” to showname=”true”
• added missing parameter showcounts=”false”

v 1.0
