Do you know if this works with wordpress 1.5? (nightly builds) great idea btw, i’m looking forward to getting it going.

nevermind, i just went ahead and tested it and it works! took me a while to figure out its ‘ttag’ and not just ‘tag’. good job again!

technorati tags
technorati introduced a new feature a few days ago called ‘tags’. those of you familiar with del.icioi.us and flickr know what tags are and how cool they are. adding this feature to technorati brings a lot of cool things together. if you wish to r…

Technorati Tags
I’ve adopted Technorati’s new “Technorati Tags” implementation, which means that all my posts become linked by category within Technorati to every other post on every other blog with the same category. Additionally, I can also index by words or ph…

Technorati Tags
I’m going to engage in a little bit of piling on, which is something I’ve been doing quite a bit of late.

You’re already using Flickr to tag photos, right?

You’re already using del.icio.us to tag links, right?

You’re going to start taggin…

Ok. I’m tired. I’m also a newbie. That makes me a tired newbie. Even better, I’m a moron.

How do I use this plugin? Is there something I add directly to the post, or perhaps to the index? Both? Neither?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Hey, I made a small modification to the plugin that allows you to enter a list of tags in one custom field. Just add a custom field named “taglist” and then enter any number of tags seperated by spaces or commas like this, “tag technorati wordpress”

This allows you to enter tags a lot faster without having to enter a lot of extra fields.

And see it in action here

Good call William. I’ll add that to the next release soon (with credit to you of course).

New TTag marker
Radosh points out today that the Technorati Tag marker I was using tends to muck up page flow. So with apologies to Keith McDuffie, who designed the plug-in I’m using, I’ve changed the graphic from to , of my own design.

Gudfly – On Radosh.net today there’s been a discussion about whether the Technorati symbol used in your plug-in obstructs page flow. So I came up with a less obtrusive graphic, which is visible at my site.

ugh hey guys can’t get it to work. i put words in my post between tags and nothing came up. and yeah i did activate the plugin.
any help?
thanks.
Ronny

damn it. its <ttag> </ttag> not <tag> </tag>

whoops. ok working now.

ughhhh. people having problems please go http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=21092#post-127226
i posted a working installation and usage guide there.

I added a bugreport to the pluginwiki and posted a solution to the problem.

People who have problems with tags that uses åäö or other non ASCII characters should use the patch I posted…

http://dev.wp-plugins.org/ticket/42

Sorry about the tag/ttag typo!

Version 1.2.3 is now released, fixing bug #42.

This is a great plug-in but it doesn’t seem to generate valid XHTML. I keep getting errors about open tags and not alt=”" attribute.

Joel is right, actually the problem is that it’s not putting quotes around the src attribute value for the img:

<img src=http://girtby.net/wp-content/plugins/technobubble.gif alt=”Technorati Tags” />

Should be:

<img src=”http://girtby.net/wp-content/plugins/technobubble.gif” alt=”Technorati Tags” /<

Latest release (1.2.4) should fix those problems.

How exactly do I use the ttaglist in my post?

Also, the help text in the plugin manager is wrong, it shows when it should be

I like the plugin, thank you. And it does generate a nice-looking taglist. Unfortunately somehow my tags do not seem to make it to Technorati – even if I ping Technorati manually. Wonder what is wrong, really…

Something is wrong, I add a custom field for a post, and now all post have the technobubble.gif in the bottom of the post, all coments have the same problem, I dont want to see the technobubble graphic in all post and comments. Is a bug? my error? thanks in advance.

Techonrati Tags Plugin

I’ve written a Technorati tags plugin for WordPress, it’s got a nice feature that most Technorati tagging plugins don’t have and that’s visible at the top of the sidebar. For more information take a look at the Plugin Page.

Got the plugin to work following Ronny’s instructions; mainly that I need to use ttag instead of tag. Much thanks.

Is there a way to tag without having to link to technorati? See this post for details.

Wp-Plugins: TechnoTag

Un plugin dall’installazione banalissima per inserire automaticamente (o quasi) Tag per Technorati in WordPress

…

Great plugin, thanks!

I tweaked the regex on line 40, though, so that it is possible to have tags made up of multiple words (e.g., “American Airlines”). My line 40 now reads:

$ttags = preg_split("/,+/", $ttaglist[0]);

Great fix, Art. It’s nice to be able to use multiple words in a tag.

On another note, how can I allow for spaces between commas in the ttaglist value? I have numerous authors on one of my blogs, and some inadvertently put spaces after the commas (eg. “Canada, world, House of Commons, etc.”). I know it’s trivial, but the links to technorati end up like:

http://www.example.com/tag/+world

Thanks.

I forgot to mention: the plugin is excellent. Thanks, Keith.

One problem, though. When I surround multiple words in a post with just , all of the links point to the technorati page of the first word (that is, if I surround “Bill,” “parliament,” and “government” with , all of the resulting links point to http://www.technorati.com/tag/Bill. I have not yet tried , but would rather not have to do that.

Thanks again.

let me try comment #34 again …

Thanks again.

SimpleTags – A WordPress plugin for generating Technorati tags

The SimpleTags plugin is my first WordPress plugin. It was something I desperately needed and since I couldn’t find a plugin that would fully suit my needs I wrote this one. I hope someone else finds it useful too.nnSimpleTags is a WordPress plugin …

I have the same problem like Geoff in Comment #34 and #35…..

I made a small tweak to the technotag.php file because I kept getting an error about one of the fields not being an array. I believe this goes at line 41:rnrn if(!empty($ttaglist)) {rn $ttags = preg_split(“/[\s,]+/”, $ttaglist[0]);rn if (!empty($ttagvals)) {rn $ttags = array_merge($ttags, $ttagvals);rn }rn } else if (!empty($ttagvals)){rn $ttags = $ttagvals;rn } rnrnIf this doesn’t come through, email me and I’ll send it to you

Trackbacks and Tags

I can not seem to get them to work. This post is actually a trackback to test if it is working yet.

Permanent link to this post (22 words, estimated 5 secs reading time)…

hMMM.. Im not sure i understand how to trackback and tag… none of my trackbacks work and my tags dont resolve on technorati after i upload the plugin. this comment is a test to see if the TBs work

Technorati Plugin

Installed a cool new WP plugin today: Gudlyf’s TechnoTag.
Pretty neat — makes it really easy to tag any entry with Technorati tags. Creates a link to the associated Technorati pages and sends them a ping for updating purposes.
…

Got it up and running great at my site! Thanks!!

Hmm, my interpitation of this is that each word I get’s it’s own tag in a post. I’m finding that ALL the ttags are the same as the first one, and do not get their own tag?

I also had problems with the graphic not showing up, so I removed that (although if I can get it to work, I have no problems putting them back).

Am I doing something wrong, or am I reading the process wrong? I want to have multiple tags in the post to trigger.

Exuse me but what is “ttag word”?

I found that adding the following style to the images lines them up vertically with the text nicely:

style=”vertical-align:middle;”

[...] I found that the TechnoTag plugin had a bug in it when I tried to place multiple tags within the same post. Every tag linked to the first tags target. If I had 3 tags linking to “Spiders”, “Bugs”, and “Spooky” – then all three tags would link to “Spiders”. After looking at a discussion about TechnoTags, I had found that other people had the same problem as well. No one had a solution so I started taking a look at the PHP code. I don’t know how I get myself into these messes sometimes. It builds out of necesity. I really like tagging my entries, so I couldn’t settle for a buggy plugin. [...]

Thanx for the script. The first test run on the post from 8th October 2005. I modified a wee bit to colorize tags same color as the Technorati cloud and made it smaller – style tag within your php script. Thanx again – Rafal

The solution to the bug is in the “user guide”: to have several words as a tag for the technorati tag, fill the “add an extra field” below the post field in WordPress with “ttaglist” and add your words separated with a space in the “value field”. And hit only the “save button”. Enjoy.

Seems like a pretty nice plug in indeed. However my issue is this. The tags at the bottom of complete post links perfect ti the site, but the links that show in my sidebar only return my own domain path.
Anyone have a clue, i don’t read code as proficient as some just yet.

In case anyone was wondering, yes, this does work with WP 2.0. Just added it to my site today and has been working like a charm.

I am getting the same error as Ian is mentioning in comment #38:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /.../wp-content/plugins/technotag.php on line 41


No idea how to get in touch with Ian, if anyone has a patch could you please share it?

Here is the solution to the error mentioned in the previous comment, it applies only if you are using php5:
- edit line 41 so it looks like:
$ttags = array_merge((array)$ttags, (array)$ttagvals);
- basically you have to type cast the two arguments to array

See the array_merge documentation, Example 3:
