Allows WordPress sites to curate and display content from The Guardian's n0tice community reporting platform. See: http://www.n0tice.com
n0tice is a hyperlocal, community-driven news, events and classifieds website brought to you by The Guardian.
This plugin is designed to pull content from specific locales and/or n0ticeboards, allowing it to be curated for display on a WordPress blog.
A backend interface allows specific curations to be taken from n0tice, while a widget allows either curations or a raw feed to be displayed in a sidebar.
Plugin created in cooperation with the Hackney Citizen.
For documentation and more information, visit the plugin's github project.
- Upload the n0tice directory to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Add the n0tice widget to a sidebar via the 'Appearance'->'Widgets' menu.
When editing a curation, simply uncheck the checkbox next to the curation you don't want. It will be removed when you hit "Save curation".
Make sure to tick the checkbox next to each item before clicking "Save curation".
Forthcoming: copy n0tice/css/widget.css into a directory named "n0tice", inside of your theme's root directory. This will override the default widget.css file -- feel free to edit that file, it won't get replaced during plugin updates.
- The aforementioned widget theming system.
- Different kinds of widgets: map, calendar, etc.
- RSS support for curations
- Refactored the curation editing page -- instead of one table, will be two: "queue" (i.e., incoming n0tices from searches, etc.) and "published". Additionally, the queue will be live-updating, with searches being "sticky".
This plugin has been created independently of The Guardian/n0tice by Aendrew Rininsland. Please, don't ask either the n0tice or The Guardian for technical support -- instead, direct such requests to n0tice-plugin@aendrew.com.
- Searching while specifying a noticeboard often lists noticeboards other than the one submitted (I.e., reblogged?).
- Having empty search fields causes search to fail.
- The following needs better error handling:
- "Save curation" without a title (form won't fire presently)
- "Save curation" without any items (nasty error on the curations list page)
- Multiple like criteria when searching, i.e., searching for two noticeboards (lowest value used; others disregarded)
- Screenshot showing a listing of n0tice curations.
- Screenshot showing curated items, in addition to a new search dialog.
- First official beta release.
- Fixed another Javascript bug.
- Fixed a Javascript bug.
- Initial alpha release. OH YES, THERE WILL BE BUGS!
