About this tool.
This widget aims to provide an easy integration of your StatusNet (identi.ca) timelines into your WordPress. It can also be used to display timelines for tags or groups. You can provide multiple sources (= links to your profiles at identi.ca or your own StatusNet installation), which will get fetched, merged (if you want it to do so, like when you are posting the same content to multiple StatusNet sites) and displayed in your sidebar (with #hashtag, !group and @people links).
Screenshots & previews.
Getting started.
- 01Upload the statusnet-widget directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Add the Widget in the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress ‘Merge Mode’ means duplicate statuses will be ignored
- 04‘Prefer content with markup’ means the markup delivered by StatusNet etc will be used instead of parsing the message for @users, #tags, !groups and links ourself.
- 05‘Source List’ should contain one source per line (where source is something like http://identi.ca/evgeni)
Frequently asked questions.
How do I fetch a #tag/!group from identi.ca (StatusNet)?
Add http://identi.ca/tag/debian or http://identi.ca/group/debian as a source.
What is ‘Prefer content with markup’?
When this is checked, arbitrary markup is parsed from the source. I personally do not like the idea of displaying markup from a remote/unknown/untrusted source in my site. In theory StatusNet and co could inject any markup (incl JavaScript!) into my site.
However, in certain setups, such as StatusNet’s federation, this will fix username links when replying to people across instances (i.e. from a personal StatusNet site to indenti.ca).
Consider the risks, and decided if this works for you.
