Post parallel in 2 blogs/domains - one as a "master-blo

Post by m2.ag »

Hi,

is there a possibility (plugin or tweak) to post an entry parallel in 2 blogs? Each blog has its own domain.

This means: one of the two blogs is the main- or master-blog. Posting in this master-blog will parallely show the entry also in a second blog, which is hosted with a different domain and webspace.


Thank you for your help :-)

Hi!

You can install the XML-RPC plugin on both blogs and then install the serendipity_event_ljupdate (LiveJournal/Serendipity update) plugin. This will post one entry on the other blog as well.

You'll loose special attributes like entryproperties, entrytags or othre extended options when the entry is crossposted to the other blog, because XML-RPC does not support those.

A full synchronization is only doable via SQL export/import, maybe via crontab/cronjob.

Hi Garvin,

sounds great!
On the entryproperties-subject: Is there a chance that one day someone of the developer community will fix this?


Thanx a lot

Matthias

Not anytime soon, because you cannot easily a unified cross-blog-application subject that implements all features of a blogsystem. It will take years to create a DTD that can cover ALL aspects of a blog entry so that each blog application can export/import to that scheme.
