Help with technorati tags

[iphimeda]

I browsed the wiki and the forum and I couldn't find the answer, but I appoligize if I somehow looked over it.

If in my comments I put a link with the definition rel="tag" in it, it still does not show on technoraty as a tag. How come? And is there any add-on to make technorati tags from the categorys? (although I'd prefer to be able to determine them manually.)

Besides that, is there any trackback plugin too? I didn't find anything about that until now.

I don't know what you are trying to do but what I do is use Categories in RSS technorati can use categories in RSS as tags - thus most of my posts are showing up in Technorati

i have a problem also with technorati, how can i do technorati used my rss instead read my page??? tech. doesnt add my post and i dont know the reason ...

technorati services checks their own code, which you've got per email and implemented in the page you have specified.
you can disable all the checkboxes on your technorati account and implement the code in the header (invisible)

but I agree, a tagclouds addon would be great :)

[reflejandome]

the code is when you claim your blog, but the problem is when you post , technoratu dont update it ...

@cryfreeman: you have to ping them. you can do that automated (http://www.technorati.com/developers/ping/) or manually (http://www.technorati.com/ping/)

You should be able to add any given word as a technorati tag by using a link and the rel="tag" tag.

<a href="http://whateverlinkyouwant.com" rel="tag">word(s) you want as tag</a>

But that doesn't seem to do the trick, and I don't know why.

If my understanding of the tag mirco-format is right then the above format is probably wrong

[iphimeda]

http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag => says that the tag is more defined by the url then by the word that you make linked, technorati claimes otherwise... You don't have to link to the technorati tag page, you can link to whatever you want. Confusing. :/

Thats why I use the category in RSS for Technorati - atleast that works for me

how you can add tags in rss?? and how technorati found your rss??? it only read my main page ... thx

Technorati uses the Categories within the RSS item as Technorati tags. I have used Feedburner to enhance my RSS - one of the service offered by Feedburner is pinging Technorati

I think they are already there by default... if not then they should be ;)

perhaps I hacked them into my copy

Eeps! looks like I am not headed for disaster - can't remember whats default and whats not

no help ?? thx

He he - impatient aren't we ;)
OK here it goes - open your index.php file and find the lines
$body = strip_tags( $body );
$body = htmlspecialchars($body );

then add

$query2 = mysql_query("SELECT {$pixelpost_db_prefix}categories.name FROM {$pixelpost_db_prefix}catassoc , {$pixelpost_db_prefix}categories WHERE {$pixelpost_db_prefix}categories.id = {$pixelpost_db_prefix}catassoc.cat_id AND image_id = $id");
$categories = "";
while(list($category) = mysql_fetch_row($query2)){
$categories .="<category>$category</category>"; }
$output .= "

Then find line
<link>".$cfgrow['siteurl']."?showimage=$id</link>
below that add
$categories

This should give you categories in RSS items

Note: Hacking core files is a bad idea generally, also the the above works for me may not work for everyone....

@cryfreeman: does it work? then I'll give it a try too :d

[reflejandome]

i put categories in my rss and configure feedburner to ping techonorati, but it doesn't add the new, only do it if i ping manually,. i dont know the reason ..
