## Beschreibung

**THE END** HP recently removed 3rd party access to their Tabbloid service which
breaks this plugin. An entirely open source alternative which can be self-hosted,
called ‚Make PDF Newspaper‘ has been developed and can be [downloaded here](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/make-pdf-newspaper/).

The ‚Make Tabbloid‘ plugin integrates with HP’s [Tabbloid Service](http://www.tabbloid.com)
to automatically create printer friendly ‚tabloid‘ editions of your WordPress blog
in an attractive magazine/newspaper format.

The plugin includes a widget to let you control how you advertise your ‚tabloid 
edition‘. You can also choose to display a thumbnail of your custom newsletter (
powered by [http://view.samurajdata.se/](http://view.samurajdata.se/)) to let your
readers see what they are missing.

**Key features**

 * **NEW!** – Option to include QR codes for each post
 * Customisable banner text (default is Today’s Tabbloid)
 * Option to automatically footnote all the links which appear in a post (using 
   tinyurl to shorten long links)
 * Integrated widget to display thumbnail of your publication (or function code 
   to include in your template)
 * Option to aggregate more than one RSS feed within your publication
 * New editions automatically generated when new posts are added

See the ’screenshot‘ for a summary of the features.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `make-tabbloid` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to [http://www.tabbloid.com/developer](http://www.tabbloid.com/developer) and‚
    agree to do no evil‘ then click on ‚Make me cool‘ to get an API key
 4. Via the ‚Settings‘ menu enter your Tabbloid API key and then add the RSS feed of
    your blog
 5. You can then either add Make Tabbloid to your sidebar as a widget or by placing`
    <?php do_makeTabbloid('linkName','fileName', showThumbnail, 'bannerTitle'); ?>`
    in your template

The script needs write access to your Blog directory. Check out the [WordPress Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
or have a look at the FAQ for help.

## FAQ

  I get an fopen error and / or permission denied

If you get permission errors make sure that the script has writing rights in your
blog directory. Try to creating a file with your chosen pdf filename (e.g. mytabbloid.
pdf) manually, upload it with a ftp program and set the rights to 777 with CHMOD.
A good tutorial for changing file permissions can be found on the [WordPress Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions).

  Why is my PDF file blank

Either [Tabbloid](http://www.tabbloid.com) is struggling with your RSS feed or your
feed is making its way to the front of the queue to be tabloided. Try going to www.
tabbloid.com, adding your feed url and clicking ‚Generate sample issue now‘. If 
it doesn’t generate a PDF either wait an hour and try again or drop a line to the
techies at Tabbloid.

  Why doesn’t the thumbnail appear?

The thumbnail is generated by [http://view.samurajdata.se/](http://view.samurajdata.se/)
so there may by a problem with the 3rd party site. Images are also cached for 3 
days so changes may take this long to filter through.
