Live Press 1.2.0 Released

Buzz NJ – Glad to hear it….I looked at the code and that was the only thing that seemed likely based on where the error was occuring, right in the middle of a comment block.

This is a pretty awesome idea… think we will ever see something like this for Xanga?

If there is a way to post to Xanga remotely it is possible. I am currently using the Live Journal XMLRPC interface to do the work.
If Xanga has an XMLRPC interface that is defined and publically accessible, it should be possible to do it.

where is this synch to journal box
i dont see it anywhere

for those that can’t get the lj-cut tag to work, my “Cutter” plugin works fine… It’s on the WP-Wiki Plugins page…

It’s not that the lj-cut tag isn’t working, it’s that the text=”some text” isn’t working for most of us. I see on unteins WP blog he’s got it working, but my WP still just spits out the code straight as [lj-cut text=”some text” (without the closing bracket). lj-cut by itself works just fine.

Cutter 0.2 now supports custom link text!
[CUT=”custom link text”]cut this[/CUT]

Okay, maybe this is my problem. I downloaded LivePress 1.2 and in the zip file there’s a LivePress directory as well as 2 files in the root, class-IXR.php and LivePress.php. I put the files in the following places:
LivePress.php into /wp-content/plugins
The contents of the LivePress directory into /wp-content/plugins/LivePress
class-IXR.php into /wp-includes
Is this correct? I’m still not having any success with the text attribute for lj-cut (although lj-cut by itself works fine), and I’m also having the problem with LivePress populating the postmeta table with custom fields for post_id 0, which is causing problems when writing new posts.

Neil -> Sorry, I have not been to the forums lately….life is getting busy for me….
I will try to dig into the problem with Drafts….I never noticed this before….but I have some ideas what might be going on…..
For anyone with LJ Cut tag problems, definitely redownload the plugin as there seemed to be a much older version floating about that had issues. The Cutter plugin won’t work for you on Live Journal, so you’ll lose your cut tags.

I got the plugin pack from the wiki. I’m using version 1.2.3 i think. I can get the posts to show up on my LiveJournal. I’m pretty sure it’s working right, because on the main page it gathers my information correctly. I’m pretty sure I put in my password correctly and everything.
$journals[‘qbproger’][‘password’] = ‘LJPW’;
for LJPW i put my password.
The synch checkbox is checked. I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong ??
Unteins, my Email is [email protected] I’m not sure if i’ll remember to check here so if you could email me any help.

How do you backdate from livepress?

Wow, it works great!
One question, though.
It is possible to show my WordPress categories in Livejournal? Like on each Livejournal entry, it’ll have “Filed under General,” and have it link to my WordPress archives. Is that possible?

How do you backdate entries in Livepress? Does anybody know?

I have fixed the issuse with the text=”sometext” issue.

download the “cutter plugin”

find all examples of [cut] and replace them with [lj-cut]
find all examples of [/cut] and replace them with [/lj-cut]
find all examples of [cut=\”.+\”\] replace it with [lj-cut text=\”.+\”\]
find all examples of [cut=”‘,'”] and replace with [lj-cut text=”‘,'”]

finally, open lpsynch.php and add in this code.

// Fix lj-tags hack
$the_event = preg_replace("/([[{<~])(lj-cut)([]}>~])/i", "<2>" , $the_event);
$the_event = preg_replace("/([[{<~])(lj-cut text="(.+)")([]}>~])/i", "<2>" , $the_event);
$the_event = preg_replace("/([[{<~])(/?lj-cut)([]}>~])/i", "<2>" , $the_event);
$the_event = convert_chars($the_event, "html");

Now my cuts behave like a proper lj-cut would on both lj and wordpress.

This plugin would be great but I can’t seem to make it work on wp 1.5
