Technorati Multiple Word Tags for Blogger version 1.0 beta

Changes the Edit Post Blogger form to include a tags field.

[3 Jan 2008 - fixed to ensure the Blogger post editor Post Options section, including the tagger box, stays open all the time. Blogger broke that in Dec too so that it annoyingly closed if you moved between Edit and Compose views.]
[17 Dec 2007 - fixed to deal with Blogger post editor change on 14 Dec that broke the script. You can just install the latest version on top of your existing version if you're an existing user. You HAVE to install the latest version to get the fix.]
[20 August 2006 - now also works with Blogger Beta]

Amends the Blogger Create Post page to add a "Tags:" box at the end where you can add tags pointing to Technorati's tag pages. Multiple word tags supported, enter tags separating them with spaces (e.g. Magical Sheep, Technorati, Blogger, Technorati tags) then click the Append Tags button for the right code to be automatically added to the end of your post (which can be styled - classes are "tag_list" for the div, "tags" for the tags).

It also now keeps the Blogger Post Options section, which includes the Tags box, permanently open.

You can now also set "Meblogging" tags to be automatically appended to your tag list, and change the DISPLAYED separator if you prefer something else to display other than a comma (though you must still use a comma to separate tags when ENTERING them).

You can set up a list of Frequently Used Tags (FUTags) to add with one click.

You can also now point tags just to your own blog posts via your Technorati user account; have links open in a new window; change the label for the Tags list from "Tags".

Now works in the Edit HTML view as well as Compose view.

For full details see the Homepage link.

If there are any problems try installing the script direct from this location.

Marbu as mentioned in the notes above, a Blogger change broke it.

If you install the latest version of the script (which has been updated) that should fix it. Have you done that?

i'm using firefox 1.5.0.1 on mac os x -- 10.2.8.

i find that this script crashes the browser and loses my bog beyond all clicking of the blogger recovery link under 1 circumstance -- if you have tags already in the field you want to use again.

for example, i blog about coffee. every post has coffee as the first tag word, and so when i go to type in the field co blah-blah, the firefox dropdown list appears with all the tags i used in my previous session, which firefox nicely keeps for me.

of course, i want to click on the drop down list of tags and choose the ones i always use, and then add the new ones on the end to save typing!

but! the second i try to do that, i get the fearful mac psychedelic swirly wait cursor, and the browser dies, just freezes solid.

i have to force quit and alas there goes my post. . forever. sigh.

otherwise, i love this script and have used past versions of it successfully.

Thelittlemaster got a working script by going to my post page about it and following the link from there.

The problem seems to be that if you click Install this script, it goes to an old version on userscripts.org. I've tried to update it here several times but it just won't "take".

Click Original Source Location and install it from there, until I can get it sorted.

Instead of using the bookmarklet from that post...I followed the link to this multiple word tag script...

http://h1.ripway.com/improbulus/technorati.tags...

That one works fine. Which is weird.

Is there some difference between the two or something, since I'm getting all the new features with this one.

Thanks

You know what...I'm totally stumped here.

I've tried uninstalling, including the associated preferences and then re-installing.

I've tried using it on it's own to see if it was the other scripts causing the problem.

I've tried re-installing just Greasemonkey, then the scipt.

And lastly I tried re-installing everything one by one including Firefox.

Right now I'm having to copy and paste in my default tags and add the others manually. I know it's something on my end that you can't solve, I'll just have to figure out what that is.

thelittlemaster, it's working fine for me with the update. Have you tried uninstalling the existing script (including associated preferences) and then re-installing it, as per my post http://consumingexperience.blogspot.com/2005/12...? Or maybe it's clashing with another script?

i was using this perfectly but now it's stopped working.

I'm using FF 1.5 and Greasemonkey 0.6.4 as is required and all i'm getting is the append tags button, which doesnt work.

I have no idea why this stopped working.

This isn't working for me using Firefox 1.5.

Is it working for everyone else?
