Social Bookmarking: serendipity_event_findmore

[johncanary]

Hi!

What is the Smarty variable that has the complete permalink URI of a post
(incl. the http:// part)?

Here the full story:
--------------------------------

* I installed the "serendipity_event_findmore" plugin.
* Tweaked the list of services in the findmore.tpl template file.

Garwin, who contributed the plugin, wrote that is better for performance to put
the stuff directly into the "entries.tpl" Templates. That makes sense to me and
I have more freedom, how to position the Social Bookmarking icons.

I figured out that the Smarty Variable Names have to be different.

* Then I deactivated the Plugin and it works just fine.

ONE question: I could not figure out the name of the SMARTY Variable that hold
the complete (possibly URL escaped) URI for the permalink to an entry.

I did it a not cool way. Probably someone can give me a hint on how to make this
more efficient and cooler. I am great with PERL, but a PHP beginner. Have mercy.

Here's the code that I am talking about. It is inside the entries.tpl file

By the way: You can see the result at http://blog.fcon21.biz/

Code: Select all

Some remark about the SMARTY escape function:

When using {$variable|escape:'url'} should ' ' (spaces) not get translated to '+' sign instead of %20 ?? At least it is described that way in the SMARTY docu, unless I have misunderstood this.

I noticed the following in the output HTML Source of the code from above.

E.g.

Code: Select all

http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.fcon21.biz%2F2007-08%2F52-Canaries-on-Fire&title=Canaries%20on%20Fire"

Hi!

What is the Smarty variable that has the complete permalink URI of a post
(incl. the http:// part)?

That's {$entry.rdf_ident}. Usually that link is only used for the RDF-metadata (hence the name), because s9y usually only uses absolute links without the servername to allow to be used on other domain names.

So using that variable, you can changed your entries.tpl code to use that, instead of the "|cat" operator.

Using the 'escape:url' modifier is alright. Using %20 is perfectly legal. If a "+" occured within a url, the remote site would need to "decode" the URL variables (urldecode() PHP function), but with %20 it wouldn't need that transcoding. So all is well.

Best regards,
Garvin
