Found this neat little feature in Pligg that allows you to easily add a link to Pligg. The simple code can be expanded so you can add a button to your webpage that allows it to be easily submitted to Pligg. It’s not world-shattering, nor is it an unusual feature to find.
However, if your a Redbrick Member you could add this piece of code to any of your webpages that would all you or another Redbrick user to submit it to Pligg.
If you want, you can replace “document.location.href” with an explicit URL. I guess what we really need is a icon for Redbrick Pligg!
I’m considering adding it to Planet Redbrick and Redbrick Wiki. Is it a good idea? I could package it up in a Wordpress plugin but I don’t know how many Redbrick Bloggers use Wordpress.
The same also applies for Game Crafter’s Guild’s Pligg, however this Pligg is specifically for Gaming and Roleplaying related content, and we don’t have an icon either!
I originally posted this on the Redbrick babble newsgroup. If you don’t know what Redbrick is, this entry will have little interest to you. However, I’m posting it here because I think it’s interesting and also I’m hoping that it might filter out to some of the other Redbrick users who don’t use the newsgroups.

I’ve managed to get Pliggto use Wordpress authentication and user database. You can see it running on the Game Crafter’s Guild website.
I recently got Pligg using Pubcookie and that formed the basis of this work, however they are very different.
I’ve only tested this with Pligg Beta 8.1.0. I believe future versions may have a better approach for external authentication so I can’t guarantee this will work with future versions.

I’ve managed to get Pligg to use Redbrick’s PubCookie to authenticate logins. For the moment, you can see it in action here. However, this was done for demo purposes so I don’t know if it’ll stay there forever.
I reused the approach that worked for integrating MediaWiki with PubCookie for our Redbrick Wiki. This was based on the work originally described here.
