A new Technorati module that integrates with Technorati.com has been released.

The module can be configured so certain node types have a technorati tags section with links to that site’s tags. The tags can be derived from Drupal’s taxonomy (and hence be completely automated), or can be manually entered for each node (allowing full control, but more work), or even a combination of the two.

This configuration is on a per node type basis, so blog entries can be handled differently from events, …etc.

The module also notifies the technorati site when new content is published.

This module enables you to use Technorati tags in your content.

There are different modes for the Technorati tags to work, and they can be different for each content type.

The module will also notify Technorati.com that new content has been published on your site.

The different options for each content type are:

• None: means do not do any Technorati tags for this content type.
• Manual entry: means that the tags have to be entered manually for each node.
• Drupal categories: means that the category terms the node belong to will be used as Technorati tags.
• Both: means a combination of manual entries and categories.

For example, you can set blogs to be both (i.e. Drupal categories and manual entries), but disable it for page, and use only categories for story type.

Installation

1) Copy the technorati directory and all its contents to your modules directory.

2) Enable the technorati module by visiting administer -> modules

3) Make sure that the ping module is enabled and cron is running too.

4) Select a mode of deriving the tags for each content type under administer -> settings -> technorati
