Serendipity Forums

Hi,
i found some informations how to connect IFTTT with my Serendipity-Blog and installed everything as wanted. I searched the forum, but no one had the same problem like I have.

I use S9y 2.0.3

IFTTT accepted the page ...
http://www.superlehrer.de/serendipity_xmlrpc.php
but every try of IFTTT causes a problem.
WordPress Trigger Error - An error with WordPress prevented your Recipe from working.

I don't know where the problem is. Can you give me some hints, if may be the setting is not correct!?

Thanks, Birgit

Well, it seems as if you're using an IFTTT recipe which is intended to be used with Wordpress. That might not work too well. (Perhaps you can share or link to the recipe you used?)

What do you want to do with IFTTT? A common use case is to autopost entries from an s9y-powered blog to Twitter or Facebook, for example. That works pretty well using i.e. the RSS and Facebook channels on IFTTT: “If new feed item from RSS, create a link post on FB”, but I don't see how/why that would involve Post via XML-RPC …?

Yes ... I wanted to send new postings to Twitter and other services.

I found an instruction how to use the plugin "XML-RPC" to make Serendipity look like a Wordpress-Blog for IFTTT.
IFTTT accepted the page with the needed informations ... so it thought it is a Wordpress-Blog ... but there was an error.

However ... I'll try out you idea to use RSS-Feeds for this.

Thanks, Birgit

I think you installed the serendipity_event_xmlrpc plugin, correct?

You can configure it to write a debug log file. Maybe it shows some valuable information.

Cheers
