I hope, it's a right place for requesting creation of new plugin for Elgg. Otherwise move topic to the appropriate group
Idea
I think, joining to Flattr-revolution will be good and useful action for everybody. Flattr have small and well-documented JS API for main job and some other for extended usage, thus - implementing Flattr-buttons for Elgg content seems rather easy task
How flattr-plugin can work (from user's POV)
That's all!

Oh, wow. Thanks for introducing us to this. Looks amazing. It would actually be great to implement it for Elgg plugin repo as well.
Any object inside plugin-repo must have this feature automagically,according to my last REQ
I have to add (for Elgg devs mostly):
Social networks engines recently got one more stong player in the field - Drupal Commons (it has all power of original Drupal and Drupal community behind scene). And Drupal (thus - Commons too) already have Flattr-plugin and this can be one more big factor "pro Commons"
Ok - so I got curious and looked up the Flattr API and coded up something to play around with and now every where I go to on my XAMP say "Flattr This..! " ;-oO Have yet to get my UID @ Flattr to see how the $$'s angle works ;) So who's buying the beers ?
@Alexander Leschinsky
I am expecting some feedback from you esp ;-) Don't doze too long... If you're interested enough to see this FlattrMe PlugIn completed.. for Elgg vers 1.7.8 at the moment. v.1.8 will take a little more effort ;-oO
And so.. I did the Admin as well as User Settings for the ongoing tales from the FlattrMe PlugIn. This should allow the FlattrThis button for general site-wide content and also user-specific content and thefore both can be hooked into the Flattr scheme...
@DhrupDeScoop
Seems interesing. Just one question - can you somethere in conent show also original Flattr-buttons?
And just semantical issue: maybe "Flattr This Material" will be more technically correct than "Flattr this User" (user can be flattered for every and any his conenton site independently)
@Alex - I will post back shortly with some variations
Meanwhile... did you mis-type ? "conenton" ? ;-)
Is this what you wanted to see ?
And - yes I have seen the other Flattr buttons - just was testing with the simplest sidebar style like the "Bookmark This", etc..
Of course - the other locations can be done with a simple register_plugin_hook('display', 'view',... for whatever elgg view would be te most global - to allow the FlattrMe PlugIn to be the most versatile and be usable for *any content page putput by any PlugIn/ page handler/ etc..
At the moment.. I am just playing around with this Flattr thang - When I read your initial notes on Flattr's APIs - it kinda cauhgt academic curiosity and so I wanted to see what could coded quickly to demonstrate how Flattr could be made to work inside Elgg ;-)
I am not 100% certain at this moment just how far I might do with the code I am working with (hint, hint... if people show enough interest to egg on my momentum to encourage more effort... ;-)
However - Flattr's concepts and whatever global interests I have read about so far in this - do convince me that Flattr's new insurge into the web-spaces on the world will become more and more popular in perhaps a short time..
As said - how far I go to take this initial experimental coding with Flattr... depends on feedback and interest which ( as I have noted elsewhere... ) a developer should never have to go asking for ;) After all if / when this FlattrME PlugIn is completed - it's gonna cost $0 lolz ;-oO
Your thoughts... ?
THis is a really good concept. I support the notion of a plugin for Flattr.
