Programmatically publish to Apple news in my theme's functions.php

    Is there a way I can hook into the plugin functionality to publish (or mark for publish) posts in my themes functions.php file? For example, let’s say I create a Post Category “Apple” and I want to create a function to tie into the publish_post hook that will auto publish posts in this particular category. I could use something like the following in my theme’s functions.php file:

    function apple_news_auto_publish_custom_category( $ID) {
	$categories = get_the_category($ID);
	foreach($categories as $category){
		if( $category['name'] == 'Apple' ){
			publish_to_apple_news($ID);
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'apple_news_auto_publish_custom_category', 20, 1 );

    So in the above code sample, is there a publish_to_apple_news() type function within this plugin that I can tie into to programmatically mark posts for inclusion in my Apple News Channel?

    We’re adding native support for this in version 1.0.9.

    Thanks for the quick follow up. Which feature specifically are you adding support for? The ability to auto-publish posts in a given category or external access to a custom function within your plugin to allow programmatic Publishing to Apple News within a theme’s functions.php file?

    And I guess the next question would be, do you have an ETA for 1.0.9? ?? Thnx again.

    We will allow for publishing to a specific category in Apple News. Automation may or may not be included, depending on time, but we’ll add a filter for you to set it yourself at minimum.

    Our versions are tracked as milestones in github: https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/milestones. Please check there for the most up-to-date information.

    Thanks.

    Publishing to sections is now live in version 1.1.

    Automatic mapping to a category is not going to be supported, but you can use filters to handle this yourself.
