Do you know if this works with wordpress 1.5? (nightly builds) great idea btw, i’m looking forward to getting it going.

technorati tags
technorati introduced a new feature a few days ago called ‘tags’. those of you familiar with del.icioi.us and flickr know what tags are and how cool they are. adding this feature to technorati brings a lot of cool things together. if you wish to r…

I’ve adopted Technorati’s new “Technorati Tags” implementation, which means that all my posts become linked by category within Technorati to every other post on every other blog with the same category. Additionally, I can also index by words or ph…

Ok. I’m tired. I’m also a newbie. That makes me a tired newbie. Even better, I’m a moron.
How do I use this plugin? Is there something I add directly to the post, or perhaps to the index? Both? Neither?
Any and all help is appreciated!
Comment by o — January 17, 2005 @ 3:13 pm
Hey, I made a small modification to the plugin that allows you to enter a list of tags in one custom field. Just add a custom field named “taglist” and then enter any number of tags seperated by spaces or commas like this, “tag technorati wordpress”
This allows you to enter tags a lot faster without having to enter a lot of extra fields.
Get the source here
And see it in action here

New TTag marker
Radosh points out today that the Technorati Tag marker I was using tends to muck up page flow. So with apologies to Keith McDuffie, who designed the plug-in I’m using, I’ve changed the graphic from to , of my own design.
Trackback by Transvigor — January 20, 2005 @ 4:23 pm
Gudfly - On Radosh.net today there’s been a discussion about whether the Technorati symbol used in your plug-in obstructs page flow. So I came up with a less obtrusive graphic, which is visible at my site.

This is a great plug-in but it doesn’t seem to generate valid XHTML. I keep getting errors about open tags and not alt=”" attribute.
Comment by Joel — February 16, 2005 @ 4:51 pm
Joel is right, actually the problem is that it’s not putting quotes around the src attribute value for the img:
<img src=http://girtby.net/wp-content/plugins/technobubble.gif alt=”Technorati Tags” />
Should be:
<img src=”http://girtby.net/wp-content/plugins/technobubble.gif” alt=”Technorati Tags” /<

Great plugin, thanks!
I tweaked the regex on line 40, though, so that it is possible to have tags made up of multiple words (e.g., “American Airlines”). My line 40 now reads:
$ttags = preg_split("/,+/", $ttaglist[0]);Comment by ArtZ — June 26, 2005 @ 11:20 am
Great fix, Art. It’s nice to be able to use multiple words in a tag.
On another note, how can I allow for spaces between commas in the ttaglist value? I have numerous authors on one of my blogs, and some inadvertently put spaces after the commas (eg. “Canada, world, House of Commons, etc.”). I know it’s trivial, but the links to technorati end up like:
http://www.example.com/tag/+world
Thanks.

One problem, though. When I surround multiple words in a post with just , all of the links point to the technorati page of the first word (that is, if I surround “Bill,” “parliament,” and “government” with , all of the resulting links point to http://www.technorati.com/tag/Bill. I have not yet tried , but would rather not have to do that.

I made a small tweak to the technotag.php file because I kept getting an error about one of the fields not being an array.

Comment by Joe — August 10, 2005 @ 1:59 pm
Hmm, my interpitation of this is that each word I get’s it’s own tag in a post. I’m finding that ALL the ttags are the same as the first one, and do not get their own tag?
I also had problems with the graphic not showing up, so I removed that (although if I can get it to work, I have no problems putting them back).
Am I doing something wrong, or am I reading the process wrong? I want to have multiple tags in the post to trigger.

If I had 3 tags linking to “Spiders”, “Bugs”, and “Spooky” - then all three tags would link to “Spiders”. After looking at a discussion about TechnoTags, I had found that other people had the same problem as well. No one had a solution so I started taking a look at the PHP code.

Thanx for the script. The first test run on the post from 8th October 2005. I modified a wee bit to colorize tags same color as the Technorati cloud and made it smaller - style tag within your php script. Thanx again - Rafal
Comment by rafal — October 7, 2005 @ 8:19 pm
The solution to the bug is in the “user guide”: to have several words as a tag for the technorati tag, fill the “add an extra field” below the post field in WordPress with “ttaglist” and add your words separated with a space in the “value field”. And hit only the “save button”. Enjoy.

Seems like a pretty nice plug in indeed. However my issue is this. The tags at the bottom of complete post links perfect ti the site, but the links that show in my sidebar only return my own domain path.
Anyone have a clue, i don’t read code as proficient as some just yet.

Comment by Marius — March 1, 2006 @ 4:04 pm
Here is the solution to the error mentioned in the previous comment, it applies only if you are using php5:
- edit line 41 so it looks like:
$ttags = array_merge((array)$ttags, (array)$ttagvals);
- basically you have to type cast the two arguments to array
See the array_merge documentation, Example 3:
