THX Robert, no worries I’ll try to find out

Simon,

Off the top of my head, I don’t know. You need to look in the JavaScript file and replace any URLs to the ones which work for you.

Good luck!

This is very nice Robert!
But I have a lame question, I’m new to tumblr
I wanna use this badget for our community tumblr blog, not for my default blog, the username is the same but the urls and the blogs are different. :-/ How can I set it up in this case?

THX in advance

Giulietta,

There’s no setting, but if you go to line 43 in the script, it reads like this:

if (/regular|photo|quote|link|conversation/.test(post.type)) {

Just remove the types you’re not interested in.

Is there a way, to display just posts with a certain tag? Or of a certain type (photo, link..) at least?
That function would be great!

What I’d love to be able to do is, diplaying a badge, but just the photos (at best set as background, so that one would be able to adjust them via CSS..) of recent image posts! And nothing else…

Thanks for your reply, Robert. Not having the titles isn’t so bad - there are workarounds - but I still can’t get the feed to show at all in any version of Explorer. And unfortunately I know next to nil about javascript, so I’ll probably have to settle for a different solution :-/
Thanks anyway,
B.

Benp,

No setting, I’m afraid. You need to hack the script to get that.
Make sure you don’t get a JavaScript error (Firebug is recommended for checking that).

Hmmm… And for some reason, nothing shows up in IE - no problem at all in other browsers, Mac and PC :-/

Really nice - thanks!
Is there any way to display the post titles too?

niko,

Thanks for the feedback. In terms of multiple badges, it could be an option, but I didn’t see it necessary at the time since there wasn’t such a big demand for it.

When it comes to CSS classes, I chose the ones I seemed most fit for what they were to be used for.

However, the JavaScript badge is open source, so feel free to tweak it to your needs!

I like it. Still two things:

* I think it would be even better, if you could call the function explicitly and pass the username (and perhaps some other options) to it. So you could include the javascript into the header of your page and then include one or more tumble blogs by just calling the function.
* And it would be nice to stick to the structure that the official tumblr badge uses, especially CSS classes to that the CSS works in the same way for the official badge and your badge (besides the addition of the date class).

Regards, Niko.

Claire,

There’s a simple demo page where you can see it in action. Download the script file, and change the user name and other settings to what you want.

Funny I’ve totally missed tumblr. I shall start tumble for my music and paintings. Thanks Robert!

The badge will most likely be used too!

Hey, cook work! I had played with making a tumblr badge script a while back, but yours is better so I’ll use it. There’s just not enough support out there for Tumblr stuff.
