    for the question u posted on my blog:

    and my english is very bad
    the plugin is not installed, i have installed it in localhost but there was en error

  2. 2 Tamer

    what is the error you get, and what version of wordpress u are using.

  3. 3 pi3tr0

    you are right, on localhost wp version was 2.3.1, but i have updated in 2.3.3 and there is this error

    Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/user/Public_HTML/wp-content/plugins/lenkyex/lenkyex.php on line 124

    the cache directory is set on 777
    problably is a problem of my local server, i use it only for test and not all is properly installed and configured

  4. 4 Tamer

    This is because you installed it on a local server where there is no url, btw the new version should work on the local servers as it requires (includes) the feed parser file using path not a url

    you can download it here : http://lenky.net/download/lenkyex1.0.2.zip

    I have been visiting this site a lot lately, so i thought it is a good idea to show my appreciation with a comment.

    Thanks,

    on the server i have just installed it without any problem, but is a half of hour that the plugin is trying to get the related stuff

    on localhost there is the same error, but now is in the sidebar

  7. 7 Tamer

    it should work now properly, as we have some problems with our server, but it is fixed now

  8. 8 Daniel Sale

    When I activate this plugin, only the blog header and title of the first entry load.

  9. 9 Tamer

    Daniel, i am sorry it doesn’t work with you but we can fix that if you submitted your wordpress version and your error log @ http://lenky.net/blog/feedback/

    Is there a Blogger version?

  11. 11 Tamer
  12. 12 Mohsin

    I’ve installed this on local host and it says “We are getting the related stuff for this post, just wait a moment”.

    Any clue as to what’s happening?

  13. 13 Tamer

    Mohsin, it takes a while till we get the related links for a post and show it @ your blog, and this pic informing you that we [lenky] are getting the related stuff for this post.
    it shouldn’t take more than 15 mins to show the related links

  14. 14 couchmouse

    At first this plugin did not work for me, the links never showed up. The problem, however, was not the plugin but my server. The server uses a firewall that blocks all outgoing links/addresses called by php to prevent rogue/hacking programs from using the server. Lenky uses a php call to his server to get the links. I white listed the domain and now Lenky works (almost) fine in WP 2.3.3

    While the plugin now works I am getting errors in my log file..
    PHP Warning: hxxp://www.couchmouse.net/xxx/xxx/plugins/lenkyex/cache/aa70b35819fbb0a15347f34f70ecdbc1.spc is not writeable
    It seems the files Lenky creates in the cache folder are not being chmod to 777 and simplepie.inc is trying to write to them.
    Any fix to this Lenky?

  15. 15 Tamer

    This error not supposed to show up if you chmoded the /cache folder in the /lenkyex folder to 777
    make sure that /cache folder is writable , if it is writable and giving this error, this is a path error and you should contact me using the feedback form.

    What an awesome idea for a plugin! This one is now a standard for all my new installs! Thanks for your hard work! I’ll tell my friends!

  17. 17 Joshua Gulick

    Like I said, great plugin. One thing you should say is that it is not compatible with WP 2.2.x and below as far as I can tell. In fact, I’m going to update a number of my blogs…

    just so I can use your plugin on them!

    Thanks!

    “When you install lenky plugin in your blog , lenky will search your blog for related content to be placed in others blogs”

    Does that mean only blogs which have the plugin installed will link to your content, or any blogs?

  19. 19 Duvar Kagidi

    est il availible en Francais, my English not good

  20. 20 Tamer

    Thanks [Joshua Gulick] and we will try to make it works with prior versions of wordpress.
    [Steve]: Of course blogs that have lenky plugin installed will link to your content :)
    [Duvar Kagidi] : je ne suis pas bien en français, sorry but it is only available in English for now :(

    This is Ryan from the SimplePie project. We’re planning to make some WordPress-related changes that might affect your plugin, and we wanted you to be aware. I would encourage you to adopt some of the changes we’re suggesting because we believe that many users of SimplePie-based WordPress plugins will benefit. Feel free to direct any feedback to me. Thanks! :)

    Thanks Ryan for the notification , i really appreciate that.

  23. 23 Digger

    Seems to me that it will cause PR to leak out of the page, isn’t it?

  24. 24 Tamer

    No, as the links shown are related to the content of the page, besides it will increase your PR as your blog will get more links.
    P.S: If a page contains many links, then this page may be marked to search engines as “links spam page” but this is not supposed to happen with your blog when you install lenky plugin as it shows 5 links as a max for each post, and if you have many links in your blog home page you can set lenky plugin to show only lenky results in posts.

  25. 25 Digital Products Review

    Sounds like a great way to build links. I will have to download this plugin. It seems that as soon as I think I have found all the plugins that I can’t live without, a new one pops up.
