Sounds interesting. Once you get it underway, tell us back here...
Sadly, however I don't think I would be of much help... rss is still new to me...

With a smart planet template that generates links to submit to de.lirio.us I can duplicate almost all functionality of rojo, but much faster. And with an RSS feed that is readable by everyone. It's already working a bit, but I want to get a few things right before I share it with you guys and other de.lirio.us users. Otherwise I'll get flooded with bug reports and feature requests :-D .

Mmmm, maybe you could create some nice icons and such?

By the way, I call this little planet template project "vodka" because it is created for posting to de.lirio.us .

Yea, sounds okay... Give me some more details and I'll see what I can do. :-)

Hehe, i don't know about any specific reader you were talking about, but your idea sounds good. And the "vodka" that make you "del.irio.us"..

Looking forward to seeing it :-)

Okay, it seems to work now. Now I just need some cute icons for view, share and close (aka [X]) and maybe a background image and a logo. Also, we need to talk about what license to use. With your artwork in there you get a vote :-) . It would make sense to use the same as planet: the python license.

How to use it

You must have a de.lirio.us account and be logged in to it.
To make things easy, I packaged my entire planet directory. Unpack the archive, enter the directory "planet" and type "python planet.py vodka/config.ini". Then open vodka/index.html in firefox.

Feeds can be added/removed at the end of vodka/config.ini . HTML customization is done in vodka/index.html.tmpl . CSS goes in vodka/style.css .

Hope you guys will like it.

legal blahblah

Cool.. i downloaded and then went on del.irio.us to get an account first, but it just shows the word "delirious" on it..

A nice gesture to make it available to libervis.community for now.. :-)

Thanks :-)

Put the L on the other side of the dot, it's de.lirio.us not del.irio.us . To make it even more confusing it's an open source clone of del.icio.us (note position of L) .
The reason it's only available to libervis members right now is that I expect there will be some bugs and obvious ideas for features. I don't want to get flooded with bugreports and feature requests in this early stage.

Ok, i done it.. registered there...

This vodka thing is awesome..

Looking at it i'm thinking maybe we could integrate this to libervis.com as a free culture news service that is actually completely automated. We just include the feeds from various free culture and free world related sites and they display in a nicely wrapped index page like your /vodka/index.html with ability to add to de.lirio.us..

I uploaded the whole thing here: http://www.libervis.com/planet/vodka/index.html , however i'm yet to figure out how to wrap it into xoops..

Wrapping html pages into xoops php so that it displays under libervis.com navigation, header and design is usually done by renaming the .html file to .php file and adding this..

at the beginning of file:

<?php
include("mainfile.php");
include("header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1; //0 for no right block
?>

and at the end..

<?php
include("footer.php");

?>

However, for this, index.php from vodka should be in web root directory.., that is under "ftp://ftp.libervis.com/public_html/" (which is actually http://www.libervis.com)..

Also, the script should autoupdate the feeds.. maybe that could be done with cron..

Thanks

Yes, updating planets is supposed to be done by a cron job.
I think a few of my feeds should be removed from the configuration, they're off-topic here at libervis and may occasionally contain content that is shocking to some (one of the BoingBoing bloggers has a preoccupation with sex toys...), and other feeds should be added.
I could adapt vodka to post to the libervis links section instead of de.lirio.us, but then it loses the awesome tagging it inherits from de.lirio.us. A better option may be to automatically attach the tag "libervis" and then import the RSS feed for everything tagged "libervis" back into libervis.com. Hmmm, actually it's better to simply show http://de.lirio.us/rubric/entries/tags/libervis in an iframe.

Oh, I can easily change the configuration so it generates a php file with the mentioned header and footer, but I don't know exactly which parts of the html should be replaced...
I guess header goes instead of .... and footer goes instead of ???
By the way, you would need to add some of the contents of style.css to the libervis stylesheet, possibly adapting them to make them look good with libervis...

Let it just be what it is.. with that de.lirio.us feature, that is, the second idea you mentioned.

As for where header and footer goes, i'm not sure.. basically, the html as it is should be without it's html header and footer and with just the functional part and it's template, because php code from header.php and footer.php take care of the rest (and mainfile.php for overall xoops functionality).

So, i guess it should be possible to just strip the and tags completely, or maybe replace tags with ..

As for the feeds, no problems, i will modify it so that it feeds only relevant news sites in and then add the script for updating to crontab.

BTW: My host just gave me paths to python and mentioned something about python scripts needing to be with a .cgi extension..

I'm not sure what that means though.. i'll check it out..

Thanks
