doc/tips/add_chatterbox_to_blog.mdwn



If you use twitter or identi.ca, here's how to make a box
on the side of your blog that holds your recent status updates
from there, like I have on my blog
--[[Joey]]


Enable the [[plugins/aggregate]] plugin, and set up a cron
job for it.


At the top of your blog's page, add something like the following.
You'll want to change the urls of course.
[[!template id=note text="""

[[!aggregate expirecount=5 name="dents" url="http://identi.ca/joeyh"

feedurl="http://identi.ca/api/statuses/user_timeline/joeyh.atom"]]

[[!inline pages="internal(dents/*)" template=microblog
show=5 feeds=no]]
"""]]


Note: Works best with ikiwiki 3.10 or better.
