Your Codebank Invitation!
I'm inviting you to join the Codebank right now! It's filled with complete scripts, tools, code, tutorials, and programmers and designers to help you.
So if you are like many of the others out there struggling to automatically post to wordpress, I figured I’d give a little help today. We’ve gone into a lot more detail inside the codebank, however, this should be enough to get anyone going.
(warning: Wordpress does like to garble code and I’m to lazy to install a plugin to display it. Watch out for quotes specifically)
// you have to include a path to a valid class-ixr.php file. It’s included in every worpdress install.
include_once(‘/wp-includes/class-IXR.php’);
// if you aren’t working with multi site a blog id of zero is fine.
define(‘BLOG_ID’, 0);
// blog username and password
define(‘RPC_USERNAME’, ‘yourusername’);
define(‘RPC_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpassword’);
// make sure the target blog has xml-rpc posting enabled under settings -> writting
$client = new IXR_Client(‘http://targetblog.com/xmlrpc.php’);
// O.k. we’ve got our client.
// what is our title, and the content of the post we want to send over.
$content['title'] = $title;
$content['categories'] = array($category);
$content['description'] = $text;
// let’s post it……. false means it posts as a draft. True means it posts as a live post.
$client->query(‘metaWeblog.newPost’, BLOG_ID, RPC_USERNAME, RPC_PASSWORD, $content, false);
echo $client->getResponse();
That’s it. Just add in some error checking and go to town.
