joh_flattr: a Textpattern plugin for Flattr

13 May Posted in software, textpattern Delicious icon Digg icon Facebook icon

I got my Flattr invitation today and realized that a Textpattern plugin was missing, so I wrote one. The plugin displays a Flattr button where the <txp:joh_flattr />-tag is used.

Download the joh_flattr Textpattern plugin

Example usage:

<txp:joh_flattr uid="1234" title="My flatter entry title" description="The description of the flatter entry" />

Parameters

uid
Your personal Flattr user id. Required.
title
The title of the thing you want to submit. Defaults to the article title and falls back to the sitename if omitted. The contents of a custom field named "joh_flattr_title" will override any default value or parameter value.
description
The full excerpt of the content. Defaults to the article excerpt and falls back to the site slogan if there is no current article. The contents of a custom field named "joh_flattr_description" will override any default value or parameter value.
category
The flattr category the content belongs to. You can choose between the following: text, images, video, audio, software, rest. Required. The contents of a custom field named "joh_flattr_category" will override any default value or parameter value.
language
The language code of the submitted thing. Defaults to 'en_GB'. See a list of supported language codes
tag
Tag your Flattr thing. Multiple tags can be used by separating them with commas. The contents of a custom field named "joh_flattr_tag" will override any default value or parameter value.
url
The URL of your Flattr thing. Defaults to the requested URL.
compact
If this parameter is set to "true" the compact button type will be used.

I hope you'll find the plugin useful. If you find any bugs or have any questions, please post them in the Textpattern forum support thread
