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)
  • count=”number of tags” (default=”100″)
  • sort=”alpha or freq” (default = “alpha”)
  • showcounts=”true or false” (default = “false”, show tag counts)
  • mincount (default mincount=”10″), eg. show only tags with 10 or more links
  • minfont=”12″
  • maxfont=”35″
  • tags (default empty), eg. used to filter which tags you’d like to display eg. tags=”javascript,jquery,nodejs

Change log

v 2.1.2

• Bugfix, you need this one if you are running a version less than PHP 5.3, since $xml->channel->item->count() is only supported in PHP 5.3 and newer.

  function ps_delicious_tagroll_get_tags($username = 'soderlind',$count = 10){
  
  	$key = 'delicious_tagroll_' . $username;
  
  	$feed_url = sprintf("http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/tags/%s?count=%s",$username,$count);
  
  	$rs = get_transient($key);									// read "cache"
  	if ($rs != false) return $rs;
  
  	$data  = wp_remote_get($feed_url.'');
  	if (is_wp_error($data)) {
  		return (array)get_option($key); 						// retrieve fallback
  	} else {
  		$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($data);
  		$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($body);
  		$rs = json_decode(json_encode($xml->channel),TRUE);	// convert xml object to array
  		if (count($rs['item']) > 0) {
  			set_transient($key, $rs, 60*60);					//expire after 1 hour
  			update_option($key, $rs); 							//fallback storage
  		} else {
  			$rs = (array)get_option($key); 						// retrieve fallback
  		}
  		return $rs;
  	}
  }
  

v 2.1.1

• Replaced LastRSS with WordPress built in methods and set/get transient for caching:

  function ps_delicious_tagroll_get_tags($username = 'soderlind',$count = 10){
  
  	$key = 'delicious_tagroll_' . $username;
  
  	$feed_url = sprintf("http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/tags/%s?count=%s",$username,$count);
  
  	$rs = get_transient($key);									// read cache
  	if ($rs != false) return $rs;
  
  	$data  = wp_remote_get($feed_url.'');
  	if (is_wp_error($data)) {
  		return (array)get_option($key); 						// retrieve fallback
  	} else {
  		$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($data);
  
  		$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($body);
  
  		if ($xml->channel->item->count() > 0) {
  			$rs = json_decode(json_encode($xml->channel),TRUE);	// convert xml object to array
  			set_transient($key, $rs, 60*60);					//save cache, expire after 1 hour
  			update_option($key, $rs); 							//save fallback
  		} else {
  			$rs = (array)get_option($key); 						// retrieve fallback
  		}
  		return $rs;
  	}
  }
  

• Added a new optional attribute:
  • tags (default empty), used to filter which tags you’d like to display eg. tags=”javascript,jquery,nodejs”

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

• initial release
