Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

This extension pings the blog search engine technorati after creating (or updating) a blog record. Furthermore it adds an additional marker to the news template to show special technorati tags saved in the record.

You can decide whether you want to use the existing “keywords” field in the tt_news record or an own field located at the “blog post”-Tab for your technorati tags.

Screenshots¶

Users manual¶

Installation an configuration of this extension is very easy. Simply install the extension via the extension-manager. After installing you can choose whether you want to use the “keywords” field for your technorati tags or the own one.If you use the keywords filed the own technorati tag field is not displayed.

From now on everytime you write a new blog post (which is not hidden) a ping is send to the technorati RPC through the xmlrpc library.Furthermore if you edit an older entry and change the bodytext and the date field a ping is send again.

Adminstration¶

The ping is send automatically after activating the plugin. To show the technorati tagline in the frontend you have to extend your tt_news template with the new marker ###BLOG_TECHNORATI_TAGS###. It is recommended to add this to your list view as well as to your single view so that technorati recognizes the tags on your list view (which maybe your blog-entry site).

Configuration¶

When you install this Extension, you can choose the field which you want to use as your tag field (tt_news keywords or own timtab_technorati field). All other configuration is done via TypoScript Setup. See plugin.tx_timtabtechnorati for details.

                10.value = Hallo Welt!
                10.wrap = |,&nbsp;
                10.current = 1
                10.typolink {
                        parameter = http://technorati.com/tag/
                        userFunc = tx_timtabtechnorati_lib->user_getTechnoratiLink
                        ATagParams = class="technorati-link"
                }
        }
}

Known problems¶

- none at the moment

To-Do list¶

- Evaluating the technorati response would be a nice thing. At the moment the response is stored in a serialized array in the tt_news record.
