What a shame they cut themselves off from such a big community.

I can understand them wanting each site to register for their own API key, hopefully you can work something out.

Its not looking good. It appears tabbloid have pulled developer API access which kills this plugin. Trying to get an answer from HP :-(

Hi Jay – Unfortunately the Tabbloid API generates a single PDF. The code could be modified so that multiple APIs could be registered but that’s probably a major rewrite.

If you are using the make-tabbloid custom rss feed it does generate print friendly feeds for categories and tags. All you need to do is add ?feed=make-tabbloid to the end of the uri. For example all my Google Wave entries would be http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/category/google-wave/?feed=make-tabbloid. There maybe another plugin or webservice which could turn this into a pdf.

Great plugin! It appears to aggregate whatever the current posts for all named feeds. Cool, but I’d like to have static newsletter editions – different categories or tags for a given edition (different feed urls).
It there a way to create a link for each edition(category/tag) instead of aggregating? If so, there will be much rejoicing!

@Xander – on the options page does it say “valid key”?

Hi Martin. I am really looking forward to using this plugin but I’m having no luck in setting it up. I installed and activated the plugin with no issues, but it will not allow me to select or add a feed. I have tried all options on the page but everytime I click ’save’ it just resets to the default page with none of my choices in place. Any help? I am getting no errors of any type just not getting the desired results. I have gone to the tabbloid page, added my feed and generated the preview, which looks awesome by the way, but I can’t seem to do anything with the plugin on my blog. Any help?

@Dan B The plugin will automatically generate a new pdf when posts are added. It usually take up to 30minutes for changes to filter through (the thumbnail takes longer)

How long does it take for new posts to appear in the PDF? Do I need to regenerate a PDF each time a new post is added? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks.
Dan

When I generate the tabbloid pdf appear post that are deleted. How can I prevent displaying?
