I did some modifications today on the Simpy module. Now it has some ajaxy effects on the tagcloud page.

Go ahead, click on Bookmarks and then click the tags. I used moo.fx, moo.ajax and prototype.lite.

The next version will have an ajaxy search too.

Lots have happened lately which prevented me from finishing the module. I'm having second thoughts now about it: wouldn't be better to make the module create a custom node type, and integrate that into the Drupal nodes? Right now everything is in a custom database.
The scenario would be like this: install the module and create a taxonomy for it to use (or use a more general one) and tell it to. Configure the http engine, user and password, and synchronize between Simpy and your website.
This integration of the bookmarks would mean that you could use other modules to act on the bookmarks (su

The module was cleaned a bit, and now you have the option to use either libcurl or Snoopy for http data retrieval. Snoopy integration doesn't work as it should, this is why the module hasn't been released yet.
After some discussion with some bloggers using Blogger on how to integrate tagcloud and listings using Simpy to a Blogger powered blog, Otis (the guy who made Simpy) agreed to add some functionality for this to Simpy.
There is a problem that I (and others) would like to see solved: not making listings go offsite.

Some more things added today:

  • one way syncronization with Simpy: the module implements the cron function to be run by Drupal, fetches all the links, deletes from the local db the links deleted from Simpy, adds the new ones and updates the ones modified

I began working a couple of days ago on some code to integrate Simpy with Drupal.
The first working draft is here: it has a search block, a tagcloud block and also semi synchronizes with Simpy when the cron.php script is ran. Also, you can view all links which have been tagged with a particular tag (try clicking on a tag in the tagcloud).

However, there's a lot to be done before I release the code to the public. If anyone wants a peak, drop me a line.
