dasBlog Extra Macros Update

05 Jan

I had previously posted about dasBlog Extra macros I developed. I just added a few more macros to it. So here is a new version (I will call is 1.1). You can download it here. Here is the complete set of macros.

Macro Use Use in
<BloglinesCitations(“Citations”)|extra%> Creates a link to bloglines citations for the current post itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<Delicious(“del.icio.us”)|extra%> Creates a link to save the post to del.icio.us itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<TechnoratiLinkingBlogs(“Linking Blogs”)|extra%> Creates a link to the linking blogs using Technorati itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<Digg(“Digg This”)|extra%> NEW Creates a link to submit post to Digg itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<CommentCountLink()|extra%> NEW Creates a link to the comments page with just the number of comments as link text. I have seen some wordpress themes use such a link. itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<FeedBurnerCirculation()|extra%> NEW This shows the number of subscribers as tracked by FeedBurner. This is shown only if the new dasBlog feature to redirect feeds to FeedBurner is used. Any template
<ItemTitleText()|extra%> NEW This gives the items title in plain text. itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<TimeSince()|extra%> NEW This gives the time since the item was published eg. Published 1 week, 3 days ago. itemTemplate.blogtemplate
<WordCount()|extra%> NEW This gives in plain text the number of words in the current post. itemTemplate.blogtemplate

To enable custom macros you have to uncomment/add the following in dasBlog’s web.config :

<section
name=”newtelligence.DasBlog.Macros”
type=”newtelligence.DasBlog.Web.Core.MacroSectionHandler,
newtelligence.DasBlog.Web.Core” />

The add the following snippet to the same file:

    <newtelligence.DasBlog.Macros>
         <add macro=”extra” type=”ExtraMacros.Extra, ExtraMacros”/>
    </newtelligence.DasBlog.Macros>

Then add the macros as it appears above to your theme’s template file.

    Hi Vasanth,

    Do you know if there is a way to check the comments and entry the blog users enter for bad words before comments or blogs are posted?

    Thanks
    Mike Erbes

    Thx for sharing this, Vasanth.

    I found this Macros and the software you have created on the "Software section" pretty interesting.

    I have just installed dasblog 1.8 so I going to play with it.

    Best regards,

    Iván.
