This plugin is inspired by Marco Milanesi <kpanic@gnufunk.org> Github activity plugin.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
`goodreads_activity` requires feedparser.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install feedparser
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
How to Use
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
**Important** Unlike Marco's Github activity plugin, this plugin returns
|
|
a dictionary composed of the books in your Goodreads shelf and their
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
To enable it, set `GOODREADS_ACTIVITY_FEED` in your pelican config file. It should point to the activity feed of your bookshelf.
|
|
|
|
To find your self's activity feed,
|
|
|
|
1. Open Goodreads homepage and login
|
|
2. Click on My Books in the top navigational bar
|
|
3. Select the bookshelf you are interested in from the left hand column
|
|
4. Look for RSS link in the footer. Copy it's link.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example feed of currently-reading shelf,
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
GOODREADS_ACTIVITY_FEED='http://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/8028663?key=b025l3000336epw1pix047e853agggannc9932ed&shelf=currently-reading'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can access the `goodreads_activity` in your Jinja2 template. `goodreads_activity` is a dictionary. Its valid keys are
|
|
|
|
1. `shelf_title` it has the title of your shelf
|
|
2. `books` it is an array of book dictionary
|
|
|
|
Valid keys for `book` dictionary are
|
|
|
|
1. `title`
|
|
2. `author`
|
|
3. `link` link to your book review
|
|
4. `l_cover` large cover
|
|
5. `m_cover` medium cover
|
|
6. `s_cover` small cover
|
|
7. `description`
