MySQLicious 1.2 has been posted. It’s pretty much a required update due to the new del.icio.us API address. The new API also seems to fix some wonkiness that MySQLicious used to exhibit where it would occasionally delete all bookmarks in the local store or incorrectly grab all bookmarks even though a specific tag was specified. There’s also an XML logging option that’s turned out to be unnecessary so far, but it’s there just in case.

It’s a drop-in upgrade, so update today for maximum MySQLiciousness.

Believe it or not, there’s actually a new MySQLicious! However, it’s really pretty much identical to the old MySQLicious. All I’ve done is fixed the $this->$newline bug mentioned by Richard and clarified the licensing, as suggested by Walter. Additionally, the FAQ has been updated.

There seems to be an outstanding bug where sometimes MySQLicious erroneously mirrors all bookmarks instead of those for a selected tag. Then on the next mirroring, it corrects itself. I haven’t done any debugging yet to figure out if this is a del.icio.us issue or a MySQLicious bug.

I’ve also had one report of issues with certain characters that I have yet to reproduce, and I haven’t seen the errors caused by a missing notes field either. Any help in tracking these down would be appreciated.

Oh, and the title of this entry? I was looking for synonyms to “delicious,” and “a delicious revenge” was in the definition. It was far too delicious to pass up.

Just a quick note that MySQLicious 1.1 is out. What’s new? I thought you’d never ask!

• Fixed an issue with URLs that have single quotes in them.
• Added the setOutputMode() function to change between command line, html, and silent modes.
• Dramatically improved error handling and reporting.
• Various internal improvements.

So grab it and enjoy the deliciousness.

I’ve completely revamped the MySQLicious page and added a tutorial on setting it up from scratch. This should serve to eliminate some of the confusion on how it’s used. In my initial excitement of “here’s this cool tool I wrote!” I overlooked the fact that originally the documentation didn’t do a good job of explaining implementation. I think it’s much better now.

The MySQLicious download has also been updated to include a new file that is a fully working implementation. If you downloaded it before but haven’t gotten around to using it, grab the new download. If you’re already using it, don’t bother, since the actual MySQLicious code hasn’t changed.

PS - If your name is kael and you emailed me about MySQLicious, I tried to reply but you must have mistyped your address because it bounced. The stuff in the tutorial is basically what I would have sent you anyway.

When I started using del.icio.us, I decided I wanted to use it to manage the linklog for my site. However, I wasn’t satisfied with using an RSS feed to put the most recent links on the frontpage. I wanted to have browsable archives, which meant that I needed my links stored locally on my server. In spite of some extensive searching, I wasn’t able to find an existing del.icio.us to MySQL mirroring tool. Thus, MySQLicious was born.

If synching del.icio.us bookmarks into a MySQL database sounds useful, then MySQLicious might be for you. Check out the MySQLicious project page for downloads and documentation.
