WordPress 2.3 compatible WordPress - Del.icio.us Daily Synchronization script
I had been running the synchronization script from Stephen from Trapped At Berkley for a while but noticed it was not upgraded to make use of WordPress 2.3’s tagging system and furthermore broke because the older category table was no longer available.
What does it do
The script can be scheduled to daily post either 1 "daily links" posting with your del.icio.us bookmarks from that day or multiple postings with in each posting one del.icio.us bookmark.
Features
- Fully WordPress 2.3 compatible
- Allows you to set a category (like the original)
- Either 1 daily links posting or multiple postings per del.icio.us bookmark
- Synchronizes your del.icio.us tags with your WordPress tags (quite handy)
- Still allows you, if you want, to post the links to del.icio.us tags
Download
Installation Instructions
- Download the file above and change the extension ".txt" to ".pl"
- Fill in the user-configurable variables section
- Schedule your script via a crontab, either by the shell or via your control panel
Happy linklogging!

Thanks for this script! I noticed that it publishes private bookmarks as well as shared ones though. I made a little modification to filter these out, and I thought your readers might be interested.
Immediately after the line “foreach (@posts) {” place the following:
if ($_->shared()){
Then add a brace “}” before the line “my $taglistitem;”
No more private bookmarks now.
Thanks again!!
