**Update** add payment relation to header, thanks to [@voxpelli](https://twitter.com/voxpelli)
|
|
|
|
In this article I will show how to add [{% img left https://flattr.com/_img/icons/flattr_logo_16.png 14 14 %}Flattr](https://flattr.com/)
|
|
to your [{% img left /favicon.png 14 14 %} octopress](http://octopress.org) blog and feed.
|
|
|
|
First of all add your flattr user name (also known as user id) to the
|
|
configuration:
|
|
|
|
```yaml _config.yml
|
|
# Flattr
|
|
flattr_user: YourFlattrName
|
|
```
|
|
To add a flattr button to the sharing section of your posts, add this template:
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/post/flattr_button.html lang:html flattr/flattr_buttom.html %}
|
|
|
|
and add the following javascript to your custom head.html
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/custom/head.html lang:html flattr/head.html %}
|
|
|
|
Now include it in your sharing template:
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/post/sharing.html lang:html flattr/sharing.html %}
|
|
|
|
The result will look like this:
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<a class="FlattrButton" style="display:none;"
|
|
title="{{ page.title }}"
|
|
data-flattr-uid="{{ site.flattr_user }}"
|
|
data-flattr-tags="{{ page.categories | join: "," }}"
|
|
data-flattr-button="compact"
|
|
data-flattr-category="text"
|
|
href="{{ site.url }}{{ page.url }}">
|
|
{% if page.description %}{{ page.description }}{% else %}{{page.content | truncate: 500}}{% endif %}
|
|
</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
To make flattr discoverable by programs (feed reader, podcatcher, browser extensions...), a [payment relation link](http://developers.flattr.net/feed/) is needed in html head as well as in the atom feed.
|
|
|
|
First add this (lengthy) template...
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/flattr_param.html lang:html flattr/flattr_param.html %}
|
|
|
|
... then include it in your feed ...
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/atom.xml lang:xml flattr/atom.xml %}
|
|
|
|
and in your head template:
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/custom/head.html lang:html flattr/head2.html %}
|
|
|
|
Because not (yet) all feed reader support this feature, you can add a dedicated flattr link.
|
|
|
|
Therefor create a new template:
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/_includes/flattr_feed_button.html lang:html flattr/flattr_feed_buttom.html %}
|
|
|
|
Compared to the other button, this one will not require javascript, which isn't
|
|
always available in feed readers.
|
|
|
|
Finally add it your feed template:
|
|
|
|
{% include_code source/atom.xml lang:xml flattr/atom2.xml %}
|
|
|
|
This will add a flattr button to each entry in your feed.
|
|
|
|
Preview:
|
|
|
|
{% include flattr_param.html %}
|
|
[{% img left //api.flattr.com/button/flattr-badge-large.png Alt Flattr this %}](https://flattr.com/submit/auto?{{ flattr_param }})
|
|
|
|
That's all folks! I hope you will become rich by your flattr income.
