Add a Label List to Blogger

Sunday, May 18, 2008

I've finally found a way to display the Lables / Catagories that are assigned to blogger post in blogger. Big ups to Phydeaux for posting this little script where a more in depth article can be perused HERE

>div id="labelList">>/div> >script type="text/javascript">

function listLabels(root){
var baseURL = '/search/label/';
var baseHeading = "Labels";
var isFTP = false;
var llDiv = document.getElementById('labelList');
var entry = root.entry;
var h2 = document.createElement('h2');
h2.className = 'sidebar-title';
var h2t = document.createTextNode(baseHeading);
h2.appendChild(h2t);
llDiv.appendChild(h2);
var ul = document.createElement('ul');
ul.id = 'label-list';
var category = entry.category;
labelSort = new Array();
for(p in category){
labelSort[labelSort.length] = [category[p].term];
}
labelSort.sort();
for (var r=0; r < labelSort.length; r++){
var li = document.createElement('li');
var a = document.createElement('a');
if(isFTP){
a.href = baseURL + encodeURIComponent(labelSort[r])+'.html';
}
else {
a.href = baseURL + encodeURIComponent(labelSort[r]);
}
a.innerHTML = labelSort[r] + ' ';
li.appendChild(a);
ul.appendChild(li);
abnk = document.createTextNode(' ');
ul.appendChild(abnk);
}
llDiv.appendChild(ul);
}
