[Kde-pim] [kdepim-users] ratings on Akgregator

[Ori Lahav]

Hi Frank
Nice to meet you. 
I looked on Akgregator's site and code and seems like the integration
should be very simple.

There is one precondition which is User Id,
userId is the identifier of the reader, and it should be uniqiue in the
partner user-base space.

If you have a system that manages user IDs - that user Id will be very
good to use.
In case you don't have such mechanism and since the application is a
standalone application that does not use any server, it will be fine if
you can supply some user ID that will be consistent with the
installation. 
Here are some ideas about how to do it:
- Simple 'date' number that will be accurate by the millisecond.
- hash of mac address and date.
- etc...

Then store it in the application storage so the application can access
it.

The next thing you have to do is pick the spot you want to locate the
outbrain rater (article header or footer).and I thinkyou're your
"DefaultNormalViewFormatter::formatArticle" function where you should
add the following HTML code to it:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- Outbrain rater widget Tag start -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
	var  OB_user = "ob_john"; 
	var OutbrainPermaLink =
"http://blog.outbrain.com/2007/07/testing-the-rat.html"
	var OB_partnerKey = "AYQHSUWJ8576";
	var OB_partnerName = "AYQHSUWJ8576
	var OB_testMode = true;		
</SCRIPT>
<script src='http://widgets.outbrain.com/OutbrainPartnerRater.js'
type='text/javascript'></script>
<!-- Outbrain rater widget Tag end -->  
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The code above is just an example and of course you should format it
using c++ code but that's the basic.

Here is explanation about the parameters:
OB_user = the user ID you generate.
OutbrainPermaLink = the permalink of the article.
OB_partnerKey  and OB_partnerName = partner key John will supply you.
OB_testMode = 'true' for the integration period, 'false'[ when you want
to go live and use our production data.

That's about it.
Let me know if you need more assistance.

Ori

Hi Frank - Thanks for sending the source code link.  After looking at
the code, our first impression is that the integration process to add
ratings and recommendations to your reader would be quite simple.

Based on this I would like to introduce Ori Lahav into our conversation.
Ori is cced on this email.  Ori feel free to expand on the steps
necessary to add our ratings into the code.

Thanks,
John

The code is KDE SVN, see
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepim/akregator/ for the current
development branch. (It's quite broken as I started to rewrite parts of
it without finishing it - I either need to finish it or revert to the
old code before KDE 4.0 release).

Feel free to do so.

Frank
