- Finish beta testing
- Fix bugs found during beta
- Date/time offset bug — Maybe done… testing personally now. Look for a 1.1 Beta release soon that might fix the problem.

- Implement option to have blogmark filed under categories in WordPress with the same name as the tags its filed under in WordPress.
1.2
- Implement option to use the del.icio.us API instead of RSS as an import source.

I’d love to see the blogmark filed under the same categories!

I’m having a problem with the time like Jack was having. However, my time is off by an hour. If my server is based on the east coast and I’m in the central time zone, isn’t that going to put the entry off by an hour?
Otherwise this is really cool!

I made a modification to the scripts so that the time of the post matches the server time. I know VERY LITTLE about PHP and so this is a band-aid to make WordPre.cio.us work on my site.
I added the following line:
$offset_secs = $offset_secs - (60*60);
just after the line:
$offset_secs = (($tz_hour60)+$tz_min)60;
in the file del2wp.lib.php.
It’s now posting the entries at the correct time for me. This won’t work for folks that are getting differences of over an hour. Hopefully, Chris will figure out a way to make the script work for all of us. ;)

Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised here. The source lines didn’t quite come out right in the previous comment.
I’m trying again using <code></code> tags to see if that will let the full text of the code get posted.

OK, I give… I’ve posted what I changed on my site…
It’s here: http://www.daveschalkboard.com/index.php/archives/2005/03/13/wordprecious-modification-to-correct-posting-time/

Folks,
Sorry for the the silence, real life has played a big role :-)
I’ll take a look at this time offset issue and update the release soon…

How do i download version 1.2 — i would prefer to use the API system. if this isn’t ready, are there any other plugins for wordpress that use the del.icio.us API?
Chris May 25th, 2005 | Link to this comment |
Bobby,
1.2 isn’t released yet, the most current version is still the 1.0beta version…

How can I make a “Daily link summary” instead of posting each link separately?
I wish only a post with the links of the day.
Chris June 22nd, 2005 | Link to this comment |
bicherele,
If you want a daily link summary… del.icio.us already does that. Just check out this how-to.
marcus November 26th, 2005 | Link to this comment |
Hi,
Thanks, works well.
But how do I style the links?
I have your sample template code - but I am not sure where to put it…
Into my main index template?
Thanks
marcus November 27th, 2005 | Link to this comment |
ok. I managed to style the links.
But now i have realised that the links are not working.
They point to “http://[myblogname]/%22http://[linkmane]\%22″
Any ideas on how i rectify this?
marcus November 27th, 2005 | Link to this comment |
ok.
it seems that it is adding slashes before the link like such:
<code>
<a>
</code>
And that is screwing up the link.
Again, any help would be appreciated…
marcus November 27th, 2005 | Link to this comment |
figured it out.
sorry to clog your comments!
Joel December 31st, 2005 | Link to this comment |
Chris, et al. While delicious does provide the daily link summary function, I’m not sure I want to store my database password remotely on a public service. Call me crazy?

Hi,
I have just updated to WP 2.0
Will Word.Pre.cio.us be updated to work with Word Press 2.0?
Thanks!
Chris January 4th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Marcus,
It will indeed. I just got back from a holiday/wedding planning trip. But I’m going to upgrade to 2.0 and upgrade WordPrec.icio.us to work with it.
Marcus January 4th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Great,
Thanks.
Clark January 12th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Very interested in the upgrade to WP2 as well as the WordPre.cio.us 1.1 & 1.2 ideas. I’m not much for coding but I’d love to help out any other way.
Clark
Chris February 12th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Clark,
You should be able to use WordPre.cio.us with WordPress 2.0, it’s fully compatible.
David Benton February 17th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
I’m seeing an interesting bug. One particular del.icio.us link is identified as new each time my del2wp cron job runs, and a new post is created each time. Other links/posts are working correctly. I deleted the offending link from my del.icio.us account, and recreated it. The new link is behaving the same. It has a different time, and is therefore in a different order in my del.icio.us feed, but is otherwise identical to the original (title, url, tags).
The post is at http://go.dbenton.com/2006/02/17/automatic-meta-technorati-tags-for-wordpress-boakesorg/
I am running WP 2.0.1, and am using the k2 theme. I’d be glad to help debug the problem. Please let me know if I can do anything.
Thanks in advance,
David Benton
David Benton February 17th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
OK, I have a half-baked hypothesis: the link title has an ampersand in it. A quick view of the del2wp source leads me to believe that post title is sometimes (always?) used to recognize existing posts. The problem could be because (and I hope WP doesn’t munge the following)
& != &.Is this it? If so, any good ideas for fixing it?
David Benton February 17th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Munged it… One more try:

Hi,
I’ve been using WordPrecious for a while, and have tweaked it to do a few things a little differently (put a bunch of links in one post, rather than one per post).
I have had a problem with the category the posts are saved in in WP2.0…
In WP2.0 you can have a many/many relationship with posts and categories, as opposed to a single category. This means that my links are always posted in the default categorey since I upgraded.
Did you run into this problem (and if so, how did you fix it)?
Thanks
RodeoClown March 6th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Hi again,
just realised this was my own mistake - I must have re-uploaded a new version of the config with the category set to ‘1′… grrr
Thanks for the great plugin anyway :)
Chris March 6th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
RodeoClown — Easiest. Fix. Ever. :-)
Glad it all worked out!

I have a dumb question - thanks for your patience! I don’t understand how to do the following in the README:
If you can help, that would be great!
Chris September 15th, 2006 | Link to this comment |
Zoezoe,
No problem. If your blog is in /blog and you put the script in /blog/del2wp then the path to wp-config would be “../wp-config.php”
You’ll need to download Magpie’s RSS library seperately, it’s at: http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/
If you put it in /blog/del2wp/magpie, then the path you’d need would be “magpie/rss_fetch.inc”
Andy February 2nd, 2007 | Link to this comment |
I’m just installing this plugin, and ran into trouble with Magpie … the SourceForge forum is lightly trafficed, shall we say, so I was wondering if you had any advice? Basically, it failed to declare (redeclare) Snoopy: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class snoopy in /home/andrewag/public_html/blog/magpierss/extlib/Snoopy.class.inc on line 39
Thanks for any advice!
Chris February 3rd, 2007 | Link to this comment |
Looks like it might be a conflict with an Amazon Wishlist Plugin, see the comments here.
Andy February 4th, 2007 | Link to this comment |
Ooooooops. Snoopy’s already in the house with WP 2.1. Time to rewrite some paths….
Thanks!

How was the

Chris May 4th, 2007 | Link to this comment |
Try upgrading to the latest WordPre.cio.us version, should be fixed…

I’m getting a magpierss error. I’m not surprised because I don’t understand what MagpieRSS is. Is it a plugin? Does it come in Wordpress 2.0? Is it a script I need to add to my Wordpress installation somewhere? I’m very confused by the fact that I need some other RSS thing in order for this to work.
Anyway, here’s the error that I get when I go to del2wp.php to check on the updates:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class magpierss in /home/pathtowordpress/wp-includes/rss_parse.inc on line 101
Any thoughts? I really have no clue what this magpieRSS stuff is.
Chris Heisel July 15th, 2007 | Link to this comment |
Brad,
MagpieRSS is a RSS-parsing package for PHP. WordPre.cio.us uses it to read del.icio.us RSS feeds to get your bookmarks. It then loads them into WordPress.
It looks like you might have some circular includes or somesuch… why don’t you e-mail me directly…
Thanks!
Chris

Hey, I love this script. It precisely addresses a need that I have for my site.
However, I’m having some trouble getting a cron of the script to run. Actually, I’m just having trouble getting the script to run multiple times — even manually.
To test, I’ve added a new link to del.icio.us and then tried to manually run the script. The page doesn’t throw any errors, but it never loads, and I never get a message that a post has been created. Plus, nothing appears in the blog.
Setting up as a cron doesn’t work, either — but I suspect it’s not the cron since the manual attempt isn’t working either.
The only “fix” I’ve found is to completely delete the cache folder that’s been created. Then, when I manually run the script again, it works.
Any ideas what might be happening? What detail: I’m pulling a global tag feed from del.icio.us (not a user specific one). Would that matter? The feed I’m working with is http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/eli08fear
rob December 30th, 2007 | Link to this comment |
Does this script work anymore with wp 2.3.1?
Andrew Schmitt January 3rd, 2008 | Link to this comment |
Is there any reason why the magpie path can’t simply be-
/wp-includes/rss.php
Now that these functions are in WP?
