Example of output display on website ### ![Example of output display on website](/assets/screenshot-2.png) ## Installation ## 1. Upload the folder 'syndication-links' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress ## Settings ## Settings for the Syndication Links plugin can be found in the main WordPress "Settings" tab in the admin dashboard, or if the [Indieweb plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb) is installed, under the Indieweb tab. The options provided allow for various ways of presenting the syndication links in posts. Syndication Links by default will add links to the content. You can remove this in your plugin if you wish to call the display function directly. The settings include the following options as follows with either a set of buttons, a check box (with a check indicating that the feature is "on") or an optional text field: * **Display Text** - Offers options to display text only, icons only, icons and text, and no display(hidden icons). * **Size** - Choice of small, medium, or large size icons. * **Black Icons** - Checking the box defaults to a "black" social media icon set. * **Show on Front Page, Archive Page, and Search Results** - If checked the icons will show on pages other than a single view. If not checked, the icons will be hidden by the links will remain. * **Show on Feed** - If checked the icons will show in your RSS feed as well * **Text Before Links** - This is the text that appears before the Display Text/Icons (as indicated above). The default text is "Syndicated to:" but can be modified if desired. **Note**: The particular CSS of your theme may change the display and output of the text and some of the icons. ## Supported POSSE plugins and implementations ## The plugin supports automatically pulling data from plugins that syndicate your content so you don't need to do it manually. For anything not built in, integation is easy with a simple filter for potential use with any other plugin. * [Bridgy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bridgy-publish) - Simple user interface for Bridgy Publish * [Social Networks Autoposter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/) - Syndication Links supports Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr since version 1.0.0 * [Medium](https://wordpress.org/plugins/medium/) - Syndication Links supports since version 3.0.5 * [Tumblr Crosspostr](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tumblr-crosspostr) - Supports Syndication Links since version 0.8.1 * [WordPress Crossposter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crosspost) - Supports Syndication Links since version 0.3.2 * [Diaposter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/diasposter/) - Supports Syndication Links since version 0.1.8 ## Frequently Asked Questions ## ### How do I prevent the links from being automatically added to the content? ### You will have to remove the content filter `remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'Syn_Config', 'the_content' ) , 30 )` and then you can call get_syndication_links() directly in your theme. * `get_syndication_links( $object, $args ) - Returns the HTML for $object. $object can be a post_ID, a WP_Post object, or a WP_Comment object. ** $args *** `style` - Defaults to ul *** `text` - Display text, defaults to settings option *** `icons` - Display icons, defaults to settings option *** `container-css` - Class to wrap entire syndication links in *** `single-css` - Class to wrap a single link in *** `text-css` - Class to wrap the text before the links in ### How can I look up the original if I have a syndication link? ### If you add `?original-of=` and the URL-encoded URL it will return the post that has that URL stored. As no two posts should have the same two syndication links it will by default only return the first. ### What filters are available to modify output? ### * `syn_rewrite_secure( $domains )` - $domains is an array of domain names to rewrite to https if found * `syn_metabox_types( $screens )` - $screens would be an array of post types to add the Syndication Link metabox to. * `syn_network_strings( $strings )` - $strings is an array of descriptive text strings by domain name * `syn_add_links( $urls, $post_ID )` - $urls is an array of retrieved links from $post_ID * `syn_links_display_defaults( $defaults )` - Filter the defaults for displaying Syndication Links ## Upgrade Notice ## ### Version 3.0.5 ### Upgrade to this version moves the location of stored syndication links to match the changes in the Micropub plugin. Recommend that all users back up prior to upgrade in the event of accidental corruption. ### Version 3.0 ### Version 3.0 removes the two sets of icon fonts in favor of SVG icons. If this is a concern, do not upgrade at this time. Version 3.0 also removes rel-me support from this plugin as this support is being built into the Indieweb plugin. Please install that. ### Version 3.2.2 ### Removes H-Card Widget as does not fit into this plugin. Moving over to the Indieweb plugin although there is a possibility it may not stay there. ## Credits ## In no particular order... 1.
