dil

dilw is a simple plugin for WordPress.

Writing
<!-- dil -->
(on a page)
or
<?php echo get_dil(); ?>
(inside a theme)
it lets you see displayed the Daily Dilbert. It uses the DilbertDailyStrip RSS feed.

I’ve written a similar plugin for DokuWiki.

The current version for WordPress is dilw 0.6 and you can download it here.

ChangeLog:

  • Version 0.6: it adds a call for templates (inside your template, write echo get_dil(););
  • Version 0.5: it adds links to the original websites;
  • Version 0.5: it adds links to the original websites;
  • Version 0.4: it uses the new feedproxy.google.com feed (thanks to Casey);
  • Version 0.3: it uses the DilbertDailyStrip RSS feed;
  • Version 0.2: fixed a small security weakness (credits to Andy Webber);
  • Version 0.1: first release. It requires PHP5 and the SOAP extension: it works as a SOAP client using the DailyDilbert Web Service. With little changes, it can be used for generic SOAP client operations as well (look at its code if you are behind a web proxy).

    Great plugin – it took me ages to find it. A couple of things:

    1. Have you thought about formally registering it with WordPress.

    2. Would it be possible to modify the plugin so that it could be called directly, e.g:

    Cheers,

    @Nigel:

    1 – yes, I might register it: let me add this task to my todo-list :)
    2 – like what? a url?

    Thanks Carlo,

    Unfortunately the last bit of my message didn’t get through.

    What I meant was a call to a php script as well as the <!-- dil --> to insert the Daily Dilbert strip.

    This would allow it to be included in WordPress index.php and other php generated pages as well as the user created ‘posts’ and ‘pages’.

    Kind regards,
