Dingshow allows you to show your entries at an
laconi.ca-based microblogging service (e.g.
identi.ca,
bleeper.de) in an easy way on your Wordpress-powered blog.
Here are some of the Plugin's features:
- widget-ready
- supports all laconi.ca-based services
- select how many entries you want to show
- you can optionally show your nickname and link it to your microblogging-profile
- hashtags and answers (@foobar) are parsed and linked correctly
The installation of Dingshow is as simple as slicing bread:
- Upload the folder 'dingshow' into the plugin-folder of Wordpress.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
Configuration & Usage
There a two ways of integrating dingshow into your Blog:
1. the dingshow-widget
Using the widget is the most simple and elegant way of integrating your microbloggingentries into your blog. To do so, add the widget via 'presentation->widgets' to your sidebar, and configure it in the dingshow-menu, which is a submenu of Wordpress' 'Options'-Page.
2. the dingshow-themetag
Alernatively you can use a theme-tag, whichs allows you to show the plugin not only in the sidebar, but anywhere on your blog. In order to use the theme-tag you need to edit your themefiles, and add the following code at the places you want dingshow to be seen:
<?php if (function_exists('dingshow_showdings')) { dingshow_showdings(); } ?>
To configure it, go to 'Options->Dingshow'.
