=== A9 SiteInfo Generator === Contributors: arnee Donate link: http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/paypal Tags: a9, siteinfo, xml Requires at least: 2.0.3 Stable tag: 1.2 This plugin will create a SiteInfo menu for your blog. == Description == SiteInfo is an open standard which allows you to specify information that will be displayed in a toolbar menu. This allows the A9 toolbar (or other toolbars that want to use SiteInfo) to display a menu about your site, when a user is on your site. **THE SITEINFO FORMAT HAS BEEN CANCELED BY A9. THIS PLUGIN IS NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE!** == Installation == Installation is easy if you follow this simple steps: If your Blog is in the root directory of your domain (like www.myblog.com/) and your server supports mod_rewrite: 1. Upload the plugin into your wp-content/plugins directory 2. Activate the plugin 3. Rebuild your Permalink structure in "Options" -> "Permalinks" 4. Customize the settings of this plugin in "Options" -> "SiteInfo" If your Blog is NOT located in the root directory (like www.mydomain.com/blog/) or your server doesn't support mod_rewrite: 1. Upload the plugin into your wp-content/plugins directory 2. Create a new file named "siteinfo.xml" in your domain root directory (like www.mydomain.com/siteinfo.xml). 3. Make it writable using FTP or SSH and the CHMOD 777 command. The WordPress Codex has additional information about that. 4. Activate the plugin 5. Go into "Options" -> "SiteInfo" and verify if the file system path to the siteinfo.xml is correct. == Frequently Asked Questions == = I have to access to my domain root, can I use SiteInfo? = Since there is only one SiteInfo per domain, you can't use SiteInfo without access to your domain root. = I get the error that my siteinfo.xml is not writable. = Please make it writable using FTP or SSH and the CHMOD 777 command.
