Matt J: Hmmm, no idea. Unless Delicious or Tumblr changed something recently, it should work. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did indeed change something.

not been having much luck with this.

I saw in the php file the ‘Check for success’ bit – even if I put the wrong password in it doesn’t come up with the error message – any ideas?

Thanks for the post. I will try again when the script link is working.

Tigerblade: Funny, it turns out I’ve been entering tags “wrong” this whole time on Delicious. I would like to think comma delimiting used to be allowed and now it’s been ditched in favor of space delimiting, but I can’t say for sure. Anyway, I just modified the script so it handles both space and comma delimited tags automatically. I lightly tested it and it works. Try redownloading the script and let me know if it works for you now. Thanks.

I should note that I briefly looked through the PHP… while it seems to loop through and fetch all the tags, the output page only prints the first one.

$deliciouspost[tags][0] = trim($deliciouspost[tags][0],','); echo $deliciouspost[tags][0];

But that shouldn’t matter because later on it takes the whole array and sends it to Tumblr, so… what am I missing?

(in any case, thanks for this script! some of us are just too lazy to write it ourselves *ahem* me *ahem*)

Tigerblade: Interesting. My delicious feed separates all my tags with commas. It looks like yours separates them with spaces. Will have to hack around that somehow.

Mike: I see just one tag per entry on the output screen. Here’s the tag snippet from the XML…

tag="list reference code web design to:tumble"

So for this bookmark, only the tag “list” will be imported for some reason.

Mike: Well I’ll be. Looks like maybe a “bug” in Firefox 3.1 Beta 2? I get Error 404 – Not Found. Guess “beta” means “beta”.

I tried the link in both IE7 and Firefox 3.04 and it works just fine. Thanks!

Tigerblade: Interesting. It imported multiple tags for me. I wonder if maybe your tags are somehow set up differently than mine in Delicious. On the output screen when the script runs, do you see multiple tags or just one per entry?

It appears that the script only imports whatever the first tag on the bookmark is, and ignores the other tags. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Mark: Really? Totally working for me. Tested in Safari and Firefox. What’s happening for you?

Mike, I think the download link to the php script is still broken?
