How to add Del.icio.us links to your posts

with 6 comments

First backup your template.

Go to Layout->Edit HTML and click download full template.

Blogger

<p><a expr:href=’”http://del.icio.us/post?” + “url=” + data:post.url + “&amp;title=” +data:post.title’ target=’_blank’>Add to Del.icio.us</a></p>

For Blogger go to your Template->Edit HTML and click expand widgets.
Find <p class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3′/>
It’s about three quarters of the way down in most templates.

Then just add the above code just below that line.

WordPress

<p><a href=”http://del.icio.us/post? &url=<?php the_permalink() ?> &title=<?php the_title(); ?>”> Add to Del.icio.us</a></p>

You will want to edit your template to add the link.
Go to Presentation->Theme Editor

Select Main Index Template, or index.php or what ever the index page is called in your template.

Find the section that has the postmetadata add the above code in there somewhere that looks nice on your template.

  1. Helpful post. Thanks.

    Although I have to say that I could only get it to work on one of my two WordPress blogs.

    Would it be possible that different themes use different terms for the permalink?

  2. It should work on all templates. WP does not say it only works in specific versions ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the _permalink ) so it should just work for you.

    You might try permalink_anchor() and see if that works better for whatever template you are using.

    What do you get for a link? ?url=http…..
    If that is the url of the page double check for typos, sometimes deleting and retyping a line magically fixes things.

    If that is ok, is the part of the link with your username showing up ok?
    http://del.icio.us/herself

    When you click on the del.icio.us link you should see something like this:
    http://del.icio.us/herself
    ?url=http%3A%2F%2Furl.com/dir/page.html

    ( I shortened that for readablility )

    Check those and if you are still having trouble post back with what the link is when you click on it, your theme and what OS and browser you are using and I might be able to help some more.
