Wordpress Topic Maps (WP2TM) Plugin

WP2TM is a WordPress plugin which adds topic maps support to your WordPress blog.

WP2TM may enable the sharing and merging of knowledge across distributed WordPress blogs. More features.

Download WP2TM

Requirements

WordPress version 2.x running on a PHP 5.x empowered server.

Installing WP2TM

Setting up WP2TM is as easy as installing any other WordPress plugin:

  1. Unpack or upload the contents (incl. top-level folder) of the downloaded archive into your WordPress installation’s ./wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  2. Login to your Wordpress administration area and activate the plugin via the Plugins panel.
  3. Visit the Options page for WP2TM (Options -> WP Topic Maps).
  4. Done.

Using WP2TM

WP2TM will automatically add XTM feed links to your blog’s footer via the wp_footer() template tag. You may disable this by configuring WP2TM (see below).

If you wish to output links elsewhere, add the following code to any of your Wordpress themes’ templates:

<?php
if(function_exists('wp2tm_printFeedLinks')) {
 wp2tm_printFeedLinks();
}
?>

This will output a list of feed links that might be styled using CSS. Example CSS (to put in theme stylesheet):

ul#wp2tm-feeds li {
 display: inline;
 font-size: 0.8em;
 list-style: none;
 margin-right: 1em;
}

Controlling WP2TM

You might change some of the settings used by WP2TM via the Options panel in your Wordpress installation’s Plugin Administration Area.

The URL for the option page will usually be <URL-to-blog-installation>/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp2tm/Wp2Tm-0.1.php.
