Worth mentioning… but you can do a digg search for a URL and subscribe to the RSS feed, so it’s possible to use an RSS widget to populate your sidebar with stories from your site that are making the rounds at Digg.

@ June 27th John:

I first used Alex Bosworth’s “Digg this” script which produces an iframe in which the entire Digg page is loaded, but meanwhile I switched to this magnificent Wordpress plugin that uses the (recently released) Digg api itself, which makes it a lot cleaner.

Wow, Koha… that’s a long time ago :)

I’ve been delving in my mails from that period, and the answer would be:

- theoretically yes, but your hoster needs to
– have the right perl version and modules, — and/or needs to allow you to install them
– have the ability to define subdomains because the koha version then (in 2004) was set up using subdomains

Some relevant links I put together in a wiki back then:

http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/003074.html perl on a shared account
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/003055.html installing koha without shell access
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2003/002607.html
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2003/002606.html : .htaccess and koha
Since these constraints were to heavy, I turned to a similar project in php (via http://oss4lib.org/node/439 ) :

- http://www.sigb.net/
- demo: http://pmb.biblio.free.fr/opac_css/
- development: http://www.pizz.net/communaute/

It was started by a French company - they ought to have an English-language user community by now I think. English-language pages on pmb are scarce, but on the translators mailing list pmb.trans@sigb.net (see http://www.sigb.net/listes.php they help you out in English as well)

I setup a demo installation for this project and there were plans to work together on a Dutch translation, together with some other Dutch-language users, but the customer changed its priorities and the project stalled…

Pascale,

Totally off topic: Did you ever get an answer to your question if Koha can be installed in a shared hosting environment? I’m interested in that.

All the best,
Mark (in Dallas, TX)

[...] The first, which is brand new, searches digg for relevant citations. There are two ways to use it: a) select a keyword or a phrase in your browser, click the bookmarklet, and you’ll get a list of “hot stories” on that subject or b) with nothing selected, hit the bookmarklet and it sends the current URL you’re on to digg and pull up its status if it has indeed been dugg.

Nice one. Always good to find another Digg tool.

I was just wondering how did you get the “Digg this story right here” to display? I tried using the “Blog This” button on Digg… and it sure doesn’t look like your entry.

Digg Search Bookmarklet…

Pascal Van Hecke has developed two essential bookmarklets that are worth adding to your toolbar. The first, which is brand new, searches digg for relevant citations. There are two ways to use it: a) select a keyword or a phrase…
