Flattr-plugin update request

[LazyBadger]

According to announce, old versions of API for Flattr-plugins will not be supported anymore after April 14-th 2012.

I use Garvin's Flalttr-plugin and have a dream use it after deadline. Please, update it to new new Rest API(v2): it will require some changes in frontend and small adds in administration part: I think, support of configurable popout parameter will be better, whan preconfigured

Hi!

Sadly, flattr didn't cut it for me, so I'm not that much interested in the system anymore; thus I can't really offer to work on it. If anyone however wnats to have a go, I'd happily add the changes to the official plugin, that would be great!

Regards,
Garvin

LazyBadger, I'm considering offering my help with the Flattr plugin and am currently looking at the code. I don't think Serendipity actually needs to talk to the REST API for we only want to display the Flattr button, right?

This can be achieved by simply embedding a snippet of Javascript code. That's what the plugin does now. Of course, Flattr have recently added the popout option you mentioned as well as a more modern (as in: HTML5) way to include the buttons.

So, I guess I will add the popout parameter to the global config options of the plugins, include some HTML5 elements, and we're ready to go. What do you think?
