What about a WOT-Plugin?
Hi,

would it be very complicated for the programming guys to make a WOT plugin?

http://www.mywot.com/wiki/API

I would like to display the WOT-Rating - if there is one - for the links on the detailed pages ...

Kai

Hello Kai,

Depends on what kind of implementation do you need.

How about their own widget?
http://www.mywot.com/...ings-to-your-website

It is relatively easy to implement, just few lines of JavaScript.

Or you do need to show it in different way?

Cheers,
Boris

Hi Boris,

what I'm interested for is not only the reputation rating behind an external link, but also the confidence rating with these symbols and maybe also a link to the scorecard ... http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/portugalforum.org

The scorecard thing is pretty simple. Just use a global called get_scorecard_url , with:
Code:
sub {
my $URL = $_[0];
$URL =~ s|https?\://||;
my ($domain,$rest) = split /\//, $URL;
return "http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/$domain";
}

Call with:

Code:
<%if URL%>
Scorecard: <%get_scorecard_url($URL)%>
<%endif%>

The other bits would require a global to grab the XML, and pass it back into the templates. I'm afraid I don't have time to look into that, but hopefully the above will be of some help =)

Oh I see.

Well the actual implementation is not a problem, the real challenge is to get around their Terms of Service for the API: http://www.mywot.com/en/terms/api

As you can see it's somewhat complicated, never seen so many rules in API rate limits.

Anyway long story short. It can be done as a custom work. I can send you a quote if you are willing to go for it.

Cheers,
Boris

I guess their js isn't working, because I'm using jump.cgi ...
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://api.mywot.com/widgets/ratings.js"></script>

The js adds these rating circles to all external links ... but the jump.cgi links are internal ...

Here is workaround :)

Quote:
<a href="<%URL%>" onclick="javascript:window.location = '<%config.db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>';return false;">Visit website</a>

It requires browser to have enabled JS though.

Otherwise users would be redirected to the website without visit being counted.

Cheers,
Boris
