go to:

http://www.examiner.ie/ireland/passe...ee-144474.html

copy some text and past it:

The airline called in the police and evacuated all 166 passengers from the plane boarding at Lanzarote, eventually allowing only 66 back on to fly home.

Anger erupted on the weekend flight to Charleroi in Belgium after a passenger was stopped at the boarding gate and asked to pay extra for a piece of outsized luggage he was carrying.

it's not super old news, but it's been talked about here before a few months ago at least

Agent 488 · 02-06-2011, 10:38 PM

it is for people who actually generate content

not the dweebs that leech it

BJ · 02-06-2011, 10:58 PM

sorry dude, I was not aware that you could not generate your own content using wordpress.

BJ · 02-06-2011, 11:16 PM

installed on wordpress

did you install that tynt site's software? I would have just figured out how to do it in javascript rather than signing up at some site and trusting their implemenation

so far what's the catch?

BJ · 02-06-2011, 11:38 PM

I signed up for tynt, which instructs you to put their javascript on your site, but I just installed the tynt plugin for wordpress where you put your tynt id in the settings and then can configure from wordpress.

So you need to create a tynt account first. I dont see any catch yet. but if there is one easy just disable the plugin

they just track what stories links are being shared and haven't found out how to monetize that information yet.

not a tradeoff I'd be willing to make for a simple javascript

SmokeyTheBear · 02-06-2011, 11:44 PM

i posted a demo here awhile ago.

Code:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> 
var bResult;
function fC(){
event.returnValue = false;
var cstr=document.selection.createRange().text;
bResult = window.clipboardData.setData("Text",cstr + " Courtesy of <a href='"+document.location.href+"'>"+document.title+"</a>");
	
}
</script>

place that in head.. then add the even handler oncopy="fC();" to the container holding your text..

such as <div id=mytext oncopy="fC();"> some words i want to protect </div>

Agent 488 · 02-06-2011, 11:44 PM

then don't do it.

SmokeyTheBear · 02-06-2011, 11:46 PM

that will add a link to the current page with the pages title after the text is copied..
