Add crosspost functionality for other blogs such as MySpace and Wordpress.

Thanks for the great module. It works perfectly with my 5.1 installation, and very seamlessly posts any content I select to my LiveJournal. It even posts Leech RSS feeds quite well, so overall a very impressive module. I was wondering if you have plans to add functionality for other blogs in the future. I am personally interested in MySpace, but I am sure there are others out there who would like to see other blogs added as well. I have two references for you if you are interested.

One is a crosspost hack lithboy has made for Wordpress and MySpace. The second is the source of my MySpace blog post page. I would be willing to assist with a little guidance. I have attached the cfm file to this post. Rename it from png or just open it in a text editor. The following text denotes the hack by lithboy:

1. f using wordpress 1.2+, turn on legacy hacks file support in options->misc
2. add the following code to your my-hacks.php file (you also have to have the hacks file enabled).

function msautoupdate ($content='’, $post_title='’) {
$tmp_cookie_file=tempnam(”/tmp”, “msautoupdate_cookie”);

$ms_userid = “you@example.com”; //Your myspace email, please replace within quotes
$ms_passwd = “f00bar”; //Your myspace password, please replace within quotes
$real_blog_url = “http://your.wordpress.com/blog”; //Change this to your blog’s address
if($post_title==”") { $post_title = “(no subject)”; }
$content = stripslashes(stripslashes($content));
$content = convert_smilies($content);
$content = convert_chars($content, ‘html’);
$content .= “

NOTE: this blog is only a ghost (copy) of my real blog. if you want to see the real thing (or to post your comments), you need to go heren”;
$content = urlencode($content);
$event = $content;
$subject = stripslashes(stripslashes($post_title));
$year = date(’Y', time());
$month = date(’m', time());
$day = date(’d', time());
$hour = date(’H', time());
$minute = date(’i', time());
$marker = date(’A', time());

$defined_vars = get_defined_vars();

$login_url = ‘http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process’;
$login_params = “email=$ms_userid&password=$ms_passwd&Remember=0″;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $login_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$login_params);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $defined_vars[’HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmp_cookie_file);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

$post_url = ‘http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.processCreate’;
$post_params = “postMonth=$month&postDay=$day&postYear=$year&postHour=$hour&postMinute=$minute&postTimeMarker=$marker&subject=$subject&body=$content”;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post_params);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $defined_vars[’HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmp_cookie_file);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

unlink($tmp_cookie_file);

//echo(”Output: “.$result);
}

3. change the email, password, and real blog url lines in the file above to that of your myspace account and the location of your wordpress site.
4. Then find post.php inside your wp-admin folder and find:

case 'post':

and then look for this line:

$result = $wpdb->query($postquery);

paste the following code right after that line:

if ($content && $post_status == 'publish') msautoupdate($content, $post_title);

to add a ‘update myspace’ checkbox to the post screen

1. Find this line in your edit-form.php file (which is inside the wp-admin folder):

Add this right below that(BEFORE the ):

Update Myspace
2. in in your edit-form-advanced.php:

Add this right below that (BEFORE the ):

Update Myspace
3. just added in post.php (in your wp-admin folder):

if ($content && $post_status == 'publish') msautoupdate($content, $post_title);

And replace it with:

$msautoupdate = $HTTP_POST_VARS['msautoupdate'];
if ($content && $post_status == 'publish' && $msautoupdate) msautoupdate($content, $post_title);
