BukoPie is a new feed reader for WordPress I hacked from the SimplePie demo, allowing WP users to have their own XML feed reader right in the WordPress dash/admin pages. I added functionality for keeping a feed subscription list and tag–based categorization. I’m sure this isn’t the first feed reader for WP, but it fills my needs quite well. Try it.
Update: Installation is simple, just drop the bukopie folder in your plugins directory and activate the plugin.
Any chance of a working demo? I’ve been waiting to see how people integrate SimplePie to WP.
What would you consider “essentials” (plug-ins) for a WordPress blogger who’s just migrated to his own domain. I’ve just moved Fool For Five to http://www.fool45.com kasi. hehe.
Kevin, this plugin is a feed reader used in the admin side, for keeping a subscription list right under the WP dashboard.
Rico, #1 on my list is Akismet. The there’s Customizable Post Listings, Google Sitemaps, Subscribe To Comments, and the WP-Cron + WordPress Database Backup combo. You will also like wp-cache if you have a fairly popular site.
Markku: Thanks for the tip as well as your plugin recommendations. It’s nice that you came up with BukoPie, but I was wondering if there were something equivalent for the front end (on the blog itself).
I’ve been maintaining a community blog which grabs excerpts of my friends’ blogs and it all through FeedWordPress which is magpie-based. Hoping for someone to try their hand at a simplepie version 🙂
Haha, well thanks to Abe (siya ung nag-migrate para sa’kin), have everything you’ve mentioned except for WP-Cron (which I feel i don’t need since di naman ako hardcore server manipulator).
Na try mo na ba ung Lightbox plug-in? 🙂
Kevin, the SimplePie site lists a WP plugin that can be used on the blog itself, though I haven’t given it a try. Using SimplePie as a replacement for magpie should be fairly straightforward, I think. 😉
Rico, WP-Cron is useful because you can use it to produce a backup of your database everyday, emailed to you automatically. It comes handly when you need to restore your site from any catastrophic failure. Yes I’ve tried the Lightbox plugin but I don’t I need it. I have iPAP to showcase my photos. 🙂
