New blosxom plugin: Technorati tags [Update]

I have updated my Technorati tag plugin. Now, you can define different tag prefixes like Technorati, del.icio.us, or even flickr and select which prefix to use per tag that you enter on your blog post. See the code for examples.

# Blosxom Plugin: tags
# Author(s): Beat Bolli <bbolli@ewanet.ch>
# Version: 2005-03-16
# Documentation:
#   Generates a <span> containing links to the tag pages
#   of the tags defined by the meta-tags variable.
#   The div can be inserted in the story template with $tags::tags.
#   Requires the meta plugin.
#

package tags;

# ---- configurable variables ----

# The default tag prefix you'd like to use
$prefix_default = 'http://technorati.com/tag/';

# A hash of other prefixes you use sometimes. Select one of
# these by writing: "meta-tags: del:delicious-tag fli:flickr-tag" etc.
# The part before the colon corresponds to the part to
# the left of the => symbol below.
%prefixes = (
  del => 'http://del.icio.us/tag/',
  fli => 'http://flickr.com/photos/tags/',
  # Add more here
);

# HTML text at the beginning of the tag list
$tag_preamble = "<br />Tags:\n";

# HTML element wrapping the tag list (including $tag_preamble)
$tag_element = 'span';

# CSS class of tag list
$tag_class = 'blosxomTags';

# --------------------------------

$tags = '';

sub start {
  1;
}

sub story {
  $tags = '';
  if ($meta::tags ne '') {
    for (split(/ +/, $meta::tags)) {
      if (/^(.+?):(.+)$/ && defined $prefixes{$1}) {
        $pref = $prefixes{$1};
	$_ = $2;
      }
      else {
        $pref = $prefix_default;
      }
      $tags .= "<a rel=\"tag\" href=\"$pref$_\">$_</a>\n";
    }
    $tags = "<$tag_element class=\"$tag_class\">$tag_preamble$tags</$tag_element>\n";
  }
  
  1;
}
