Help?

So, question, if one wanted to post a daily digest of one's delicious links to dreamwidth, how would one do that?

(I went googling and found delicious glue, which as far as I can tell, nounverb's original and updated links are no longer active, and I found a copy altered by a fan but as I read through it I realized I had no idea if it would work for dreamwidth as opposed to livejournal or how to make it do so.)

I have no idea how to do it, but calystarose somehow made Twitter work for DW, because these posts show in my Circle:

settiai too; I really have no idea if twitter and delicious are similar enough for it to be relevant?

Re: :-)

[elke_tanzer]

There's got to be a way. If they work for LJ, both twitter and del.icio.us should work for DW somehow...

Hrmmm... wasn't morgandawn using something to pipe del.icio.us links into vidding roundups?

I think it's delicious glue or some variant thereof; which okay, apparently it CAN be made to work for dreamwidth, I just don't know how and haven't seen a copy of that hack version floating around.

Another option would be to simply create a Dreamwidth RSS feed of the URL of whatever feed you want coming out of your del.icio.us... it wouldn't be a daily summary, although you could tailor which feed you want, from the list at http://delicious.com/help/feeds

Maybe the info in one of these will be helpful...

Hrrrm. I thought for sure I had more detailed directions for this bookmarked or memoried or something, but I'm not finding them. Drat!

ETA: Aha, no, I was thinking of http://astolat.dreamwidth.org/114594.html, which is astolat's instructions for using del.icio.us to auto-generate a recs webpage. Which is cool, but not what you're looking for! Double drat!!

Yeah, I found some of that information on delicious glue but... all of those entries are 2008 or earlier, the pre-dreamwidth era.

I get my delicious to my journal by way of Twitter. It's a bit of a hackaround, but it might do for the interim until there's a proper solution found. One sets up one's Delicious to export to Twitter, then uses something like LoudTwitter to post to journal.

Re: :-)

[jmtorres]

Hmmm. I would have to get a twitter for that, eh?

Re: :-)

[azurelunatic]

Yup.

We tried auto posting from diigo for the White Collar newsletter. It works, and the diigo site is fairly easy to set up to autoblog, and I think the veni_vidi_vids newsletter uses it now too. There is one issue which stopped us from using it all the time, and that is that DW can't handle special characters on this kind of entry and we were getting entries that could not be edited. They were there and viewable though.

I do a semi-automatic C&P from the html in the diigo editing screen into a DW post now, and I should go do that, it being Friday.

[jmtorres]

...huh. Not editable? --because it's for a comm? *headtilt* or... no, I'm still confused.

[facetofcathy]

It's a DW bug.

Some posts are fine, but if one bookmark out of the group being autoposted has say, an accented character or curly quotes (shudder) or even an ampersand in it, it imports and displays, but the entire post can't be edited--you just get an error message. It's similar to the journal import errors related to special characters.

Since we have multiple people collecting bookmarks and there's some non-English fic we're linking to, it wasn't feasible to edit each bookmark to take out the characters that are at issue.

[jmtorres]

*poking at diigo* So the way this site works, it could post my bookmarks if I use *it* as my bookmark storage, not delicious?

[facetofcathy]

Yes, but it can import delicious bookmarks and export from diigo to delicious as well. You can autoblog from diigo to

Personally, I find it easier to use than delicious and they make cross-platform use more effective. All this might be moot once Dreamwidth decides what to do about memories though. I'm sure someone made a really good post about diigo...

Ha! Found it, full of how-tos.
