    I can confirm that David, the ID# has been removed from the feeds - they use the named subdomain now.

    Hopefully this fixes the 380 problem I (and others) are still having. Any luck on that DCoda?

    Any idea on when we can expect the new version?
    Btw a feature suggestion: what about a weekly digest? I have only a couple of stumbles a day (max) and it’s a bit overkill to have a digest for that only.

    @Eddy De Clercq: it would appear that the projectdidn’t check in correctly.
    This has been corrected, if you care to check 2.0.1

    It takes some time for wordpress to serve the newly checked in projects, give it fifteen minutes as it has only just be added.

  8. September 7th, 2008 at 18:57 | #8

    Cool. Is there a way to assign a category?

  9. September 7th, 2008 at 19:01 | #9

    Not at present. It will added to the list for the next release.

    OK.
    I got some things encountered:
    - It ran the first time last night and instead of getting the things from http://rss.stumbleupon.com/user/eddydc/favorites, it’s getting the most recent from http://rss.stumbleupon.com/user/eddydc/reviews as you can see on http://www.grumpyoldman.be/ (Aug 28th)
    - When I click on get updates, I get:
    Warning: Empty document at line 1, column 1 in /mypath/wp-includes/rss.php on line 380
    - When I want to add an ‘ like in Grumpy’s Stumble
    the preview shows Grumpy\’s Stumble and the text prefix only shows Grumpy\ and throws the rest away.

    Is all this normal?

    @Eddy De Clercq-
    The plugin combines the review with the favourites, to replicate what it used to do on the old system, where it displayed comments for each link.

    The problem with the prefix and the empty document will be looked into.

  12. September 8th, 2008 at 12:20 | #12

    I doesn’t seem to show any favourites though. I’ve favourites which are more recent that the reviews, but not shown. Or do I understand things wrongely?

  13. September 8th, 2008 at 15:49 | #13

    what is actually being done is it gets the favourite and they based on that url gets the reviews, then combines the two feeds together.
    it sound tome like there is some kind of problem reading the favourites feed.
    this will be looked into

  14. September 8th, 2008 at 16:27 | #14

    The favourites in the my favourites RSS usually don’t have any review and just stumbled. The one with the review are in the review RSS.
    I think you skip the favc without review, so I guess, you need to add the favs anyway, review or not.

  15. September 8th, 2008 at 21:00 | #15

    @Eddy De Clercq-
    favs should be displayed even if they do not have a review, the review is added as additional information. This worked during testing.
    The plugin will be testing with your feed to track down the problem.

    @Eddy De Clercq-
    The problem was a few extra characters at the beginning and end or the feed, confusing wordpress’ rss decoder.
    these have been strip and things should work fine if you try version 2.0.2

    Hi I’ve tried out the plugin and I think it’s great.

    There are three extra things I’d really like to be able to do with it however. Could you perhaps consider these for a future version of the plugin?

    1. I’d like to be able to assign the posts it generates to a particular category or categories on advance.

    2. I’d like to be able to assign particular tags to all of the posts it generates in advance.

    3. I’d like to be able to add text and code to the beginning of the posts it generates. For example, I’d like to be able to write “Here’s a summary of what I found on StumbleUpon today” followed by the More shortcode, so that the entire list of posts isn’t appearing on the front page of my blog.

  18. September 19th, 2008 at 20:53 | #18

    @Keith:
    1. Categories are already planned for addition.
    2. Tags have been added to the list.
    3. pretext has been added to the list.

    Hi DCoda,

    That’s great! I look forward to trying out the new version.

    I’ve just noticed one thing about it that doesn’t seem to be working right: I’ve set it to update once per day (1,440 minutes) which it does, but the digest only contains one item: the last one I ’stumbled’ but none of the others.

    This is the StumbleUpon feed I am using:

    http://rss.stumbleupon.com/user/f1fanaticcouk/reviews

    Have I configured the plugin incorrectly?

  20. September 23rd, 2008 at 14:55 | #20

    @Keith-
    There is a with the newly introduced ability to select the time period that the stumbles are collected over. Setting the period to 24 should solve the problem

    ability to select the time period that the stumbles are collected over. Setting the period to 24 should solve the problem

    I’m feeling rather stupid, but could you please explain where exactly in the configuration I can find that option and how to set it?

  22. October 13th, 2008 at 09:03 | #22

    To change the time period, change the time date formate, on the options page.

    DCoda, I’m having the same problem that Keith was. Steps to reproduce:

    1) Set Time Between Updates to 1440
    2) Set Title Date Format to F j, Y
    3) Stumble several links in one day

    Expected result:

    Blog post contains all links stumbled on that day in an unordered list.

    Actual result:

    Blog post contains only last link stumbled during that period. After deleting post, no option to “clear” and try publishing for that time period again after changing settings.
