Money can be donated at: http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/donations.html You can view an example of the plugin here: http://www.fieldjournal.co.uk/ == Installation == * Setting up your google buzz account to spit out a feed. In order to setup the feed for your Google Buzz Account, goto the following URL: http://www.google.com/profiles/me/editprofile At the very bottom of that page is a heading: Profile URL Enable that URL. Now your feed is setup! -------------------------------------------------------- * Configuring the plugin! Included in this archive is a file called: googleBuzzFeed.php between line 20 and 26 where it says: $feedURL = 'http://buzz.googleapis.com/feeds/{user}/public/posted'; change {user} with your google account name. e.g. http://buzz.googleapis.com/feeds/ghostbone/public/posted Between these lines you can also set the number of Buzz's ($POSTS) to show, as well as the width of your side bar ($MARGIN_WIDTH), for image re-sizing. -------------------------------------------------------- * Adding the plugin to wordpress! Upload the folder in this archive to /wp-content/plugins/ Now login to your admin panel. Then select plugins, and activate Google Buzz Feed. Once activiated, goto Appearance -> Widgets. On this page, drag the box titled Google Buzz Widget to the sidebar on the right. Now it should appear on your site! == Frequently Asked Questions == = The plugin isn't themed to my wordpress skin! = In order to theme it you have to add styling yourself. An example can be found in the comments at: http://www.fieldjournal.co.uk/?p=189&cpage=1#comment-256 = The Displayed x Time Ago is wrong! = This problem is if you're on shared hosting, and the server is set to a different time-zone than yourself. To fix this, modify $TIMEZONE to the time difference you require. I.e. if I'm in Dubai and a buzz i submitted seconds ago, says it was submitted 4 hours ago! Change the timezone to London which is 4 hours behind Dubai! == Changelog == = 0.50 = *Added timezone support, to fix for incorrect server time on shared hosts. *Coming soon, ability to edit plugin from admin panel. = 0.0a = *Initial plugin creation == Upgrade Notice == = 0.50 = This version adds timezone support! I.e. if hours ago is incorrect. = 0.0a = None. == Questions == If you have any questions please send them to: ian.archambeau@ncl.ac.uk Cheers.
