geotags plugin for habari
I've written a simple plugin for Habari to add geographical information to a blog. I've used geotags for years* with websites like GeoURL by manually-editing my page headers, but this geotags plugin automatically inserts the correct tags in every generated header.
Requirements
Using version 0.5 of Habari or later, all you need is this line somewhere in the <head> block of your theme.
$theme->header();
If you are using one of Habari's default themes, then you are already set.
Download
This will always link to the most recent version: geotags.zip
Installation and use
Unzip geotags.zip in /user/plugins. Then activate and configure it in the Plugins Admin page - you will need to know your latitude and longitude in decimal. To find them you can use My Geo Position.
Once the plugin is installed and configured, you're done. Your headers will now display your position like this (the location of my site):
<meta name="DC.title" content="mikelietz:fine whine">
<meta name="ICBM" content="40.076665, -82.95996">
<meta name="geo.position" content="40.076665, -82.95996">
Comments and questions should be left below. Subsequent updates and releases will likely appear on the plugin page, not here.
* Whether or not they've ever been useful is, I suppose, a question I've never really asked. They've certainly got potential to become something interesting, or at least useful.
