Microsummary Generator plugin for Wordpress

Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 supports a new feature called microsummaries . It is a kind of smart bookmark feature added to firefox.
However because firefox 2 is beta,  I think they don’t support dynamic files. What it looks for an xml file is the extension xml. As a result it can’t use for the dynamic results as php for our case. I hope that this will be solved on the final product, I just mailed mozilla support team for this issue. Maybe this is by design, but it should support dynamic xml files.

Issues

It’s funny I know, but this plugin is not working :) This is because  firefox want static xml file. I made this plugin without knowing that, as a result waiting for them to support it.

Installation

To install it. Extract the generator file (microsummary-generator.php) to your plugin folder. And the xml file (microsummary.php) to your blog’s root folder. Then add MicroSummaryBookmark() function to your theme file. Actually this provides the link to be put on your page. So you can put this file wherever you want to see in your page.

    Microsummary generators must either end in .xml or — and that’s the better alternative — have an XML content type (i.e. text/xml or application/xml). Just set the appropriate header(”Content-Type: application/xml”) and it should work as expected.

    That might be the correct solution. Thanks for that, I will give it a try and post changes here.

  3. Hi,

    I just stumbled upon your post – having written a WP plugin myself…

    Apart from using the XML “generator” route, you can also use a single text line for uSummary content. This is less well documented, but it’s the approach woot.com choose.

    I created a WordPress plugin to take care of the following:

    generate a text uSummary of the latest blog post title

    link to this url from every blog page

    No need to install anything for your visitors, they just get the “live title” option once they bookmark your (blog) site.
