Yet Another DailyDelicious hack for WordPress
I wanted a nice simple way to mirror my daily bookmarks that I’ve added to [del.icio.us](http://del.icio.us) into [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org)
Stephen Eyre’s [dailydelicious](http://www.dot-totally.co.uk/dailydelicious.txt) was close, but
not exactly they way I wanted it. He used the RSS feed, but that doesn’t give a good daily cutoff.
So, I present Yet Another Daily Delicious php script: [yadd.php](http://www.nozell.com/marc/blog/data/yadd-1.0.TXT).
It asks for just today’s bookmarks using the published api, parses the XML, generates nicely formatted HTML and creates a WordPress entry.
Here is the writeup from the code:
- - -
This is yadd.php V1.0 by Marc Nozell (marc@nozell.com) based on
Stephen Eyre's dailydelicious
(http://www.dot-totally.co.uk/dailydelicious.txt)
See http://www.nozell.com/blog/ for the latest version of
'yet another daily delicious' (yadd.php)
USAGE:
1) Edit the section below. At the very least use your del.icio.us
username and password ($del_user/$del_password)
2) Put there file somewhere on the server where you run WordPress.
3) Arrange for this page to be hit once a day, say 11:30ish your
local time. del.icio.us seems to track UTC so depending on which
timezone you live in, some bookmarks from your yesterday may show
up. Consider using a simple cronjob that looks like this:
30 23 * * * $HOME/bin/yadd.sh
where yadd.sh looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
curl http://www.yoursite.com/yadd.php
4) In the morning edit the entry if you wish. I've tried to generate
pretty HTML so it will be simple to edit the entry.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Anyone that hits the URL for this script will cause your current
bookmarks to be dumped into WordPress. Clearly this is not
desirable.
You have some options. The easiest is to keep this URL 'secret'.
Name it something unusual and put it in a non-obvious place.
Remember that if you display your web hit stats, the url will be
exposed. A better solution to use .htaccess to limit access. If
you do that remember to update the url wget uses to include the
username/password, something like this:
curl http://someuser:somepassword@www.yoursite.com/yadd.php
Enjoy,
-marc

Could this be modified to make the posts on a weekly basis rather than daily?
November 22nd, 2004 at 8:44 pm
that is a great script. got it up and running fine. i want my daily bookmarks to display underneath any posts i make for a specific day, so if i set my cron to hit at, say, 12.01 am, can i make the yadd.php file fetch my links from the previous day? any help appreciated.

Nice plugin, if you get a chance to develop it, I would really like to see the following:
Make no post at all in the case that there are no daily links - at the moment the plugin makes an empty entry that must be deleted.
If there are a large number of posts (e.g, over a fixed threshold), could the plugin use the more tag, so that we dont get an excessivly long posting on the home page.

it seem like the script is broken due to delicious api issue ?
August 29th, 2005 at 11:58 am
I get the following errors:
Warning: fopen(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.jargon/lazopolis/yet.anotherblog.net/yadd.php on line 106
Warning: fopen(http://…@del.icio.us/api/posts/get?dt=2005-08-29): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.jargon/lazopolis/yet.anotherblog.net/yadd.php on line 106

Any idea on what’s wrong?

lazopolis,
It looks like from the writeup in the manual page for fopen (http://us2.php.net/fopen) that is could be a configuration issue.

October 18th, 2005 at 4:56 pm
I just modified the script to use the CURL libraries instead of fopen and fread. It seems to work fine. My host (Dreamhost) doesn’t allow the fopen() libraries any longer. This is what I came up with after a couple of hours hacking at it.
I’ll probably take another look at it tonight and see if I can make it skip days it detects no entries. I believe this can be done by pulling a die() if the XML string does not contain a </posts> in it.
For example, I created my del.icio.us account today. If I look at yesterday’s date for the string, I get the following returned:
<posts dt=”20051017″ tag=”" user=”chiieddy”/>
Nothing else.
BTW, for those who are asking about changing the date, for yesterday just change this line:
$date = mktime(0,0,0,$today[’mon’], $today[’mday’], $today[’year’]);
New line should read:
$date = mktime(0,0,0,$today[’mon’], $today[’mday’]-1, $today[’year’]);
For those wanting a whole week, you’d have to create a recursive function to do so, the del.icio.us API only recognizes a single date at time. You’d have to set your cronjob to run weekly and then cycle through all the days of the week.

Does the line:

(whether or not to show the link to your del.icio.us account) actually work? I can’t find any subsequent code in the php file using this variable.

I didn’t explain beyond this previously, but this is the link posting workflow: […]

I’m having trouble setting up a chronjob to do this… I’ve googled for instructions on chronjobs, but I’m having trouble finding anything relevant. Am I understanding this right:
Put the script in the same directory as WP on my server
Also create a file called yadd.sh and put it there as well
Set a chron job to yadd.sh
I tried this and it didn’t seem to do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try searching for ‘cron’ (not ‘chron’) or ‘crontab’. Wikipedia’s Crontab page does a good
job of describing it. Also check your man pages (eg: man -k cron)
March 15th, 2006 at 2:51 pm
