FAQ
Are there preconditions that my Nextcloud instance has to satisfy?
The server running your owncloud instance needs to run php5-curl. Furthermore you need to activate the Bookmarks App in your Nextcloud instance which supports the REST API (> Nextcloud 8.0 or see here ).
Which operation mode is appropriate?
In general it is recommended to use the Nextcloud App mode. The MySQL mode only is for those appropriate who whish to access the Bookmarks of all users of an Nextcloud instance or those that cannot change the Nextcloud Bookmarks App.
How to configure the OC mode
Enter the credentials of the Nextcloud account that owns the Bookmarks that should be published.
Language
This plugin is currently only available in English but you can set the title of the generated tables and of the widget to your own needs in your own language.
What are the shortcodes to embed a table containing the Nextcloud Bookmarks into posts or pages?
- embed those Bookmarks that are tagged with ‘public’: [ nc2wpbm]
- embed those Bookmarks that contain one out of a set of tags (in this case ‘public’ or ‘example’): [ nc2wpbm tags=”public, example”]
- embed those Bookmarks that contain a specific set of Bookmars (in this case ‘public’ AND ‘example’): [ nc2wpbm tags=”public, example” connector=”AND”]
Can the content of the widget be customized?
Specifying tags in the field ‘Tags of bookmarks to be displayed’ will list all those bookmarks that contain one of the tags specified. If only those bookmarks should be displayed that contain all of those tags activate the checkbox ‘Bookmark has to contain all tags (AND connector)’. Furthermore you can determine the lenght of the list and additional content like tags or the description (e. g. displayed as mouseover text).
Can the layout of the widget be customized?
In the style.css of your theme you can use the classes nc2wp-row, nc2wp-row-title and nc2wp-description to set the layout.
