Finally ... I've used my
delicious-java library to write a
Blojsom plugin that will post my daily
del.icio.us links to my blog automatically. I was never able to get the del.icio.us daily settings to post to my blog so I had to go the DIY-route
As you can see
from this entry, it works like a champ.
A few things to note about the plugin.
- It uses delicious-java 1.6 (not released yet). I'll do that later this evening. I made 2 changes in the library. One to change the method retry handling behavior in HttpClient from 3 retries to 0 retries and I added a method to the Post object to be able to break up the tags say by a space for easy looping.
- You can configure the hour of the day in which the plugin will post any del.icio.us links to your blog. This is a per-blog setting. A thread runs once an hour and posts links to the blogs that have links and are set to post for that hour.
- A Velocity template is used for the body of the blog entry. So, if you don't like the default one that is used by the plugin, you're free to change it. This can be overridden on a per-blog basis
The template is passed a list of Post objects and your del.icio.us username.
- You can configure the title of the entry. It defaults to "del.icio.us links for {date}" where {date} is yyyy-MM-dd and gets filled in for the day on which things get posted.
It's pretty much the bomb. Well, I'm happy with it at least
