My Webklip Plugin For Wordpress: Goes Multiple-RSS!

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Today I refactory the source code and add new features to Webklip, it becomes 1.2 and, most encouraging, multiple rss supports!

The improvement includes:

Uses template engine to show widget. No more embedded HTML.
Moves all functions to a util class
Supports up to 5 RSS
Still reads RSS feed dynamically on client-side

The feature version will be released next day or two, will enhance javascript flexibility. E.g., not compulsorily needs jQuery framework.

You can download the widget on http://www.koumei.net/download/wp-webKlip.zip

Wordpress Widget: Client-side RSS util, The Web Klip Released!

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

The original Wordpress (2.7+) provides RSS clip widget from the other website. It looks good but it is server-side script that may occupy the server resource to interpret the RSS. I don’t like that approach. So I decide to create a client-side script that loads rss from other website or blog.

If you want to try, just download the widget on http://www.koumei.net/download/wp-webKlip.zip , then unzip to wp-content/plug-ins/ folder, and activate the plugin and add widget to you wordpress blog.

Before using this widget, there are some notes you should know:

Defects:
Currently only support ONE RSS excerpt.
Only shows the first RSS item.
jQuery should be included on your blog.
Usability:
Site that provide at least 1 item RSS feed could be refered by this widget.
Extension:
Multiple-RSS and rollover will be available on next release.
