RSS Footer Hack

I dont know what an RSS post is, what do you mean? Can you provide an example of what you are talking about?

Do you want each post to have a unique string, only when viewing the feed, or what?

Thanks whooami,

Yes…that’s exactly what I want. A unique string of characters appended to the end of each post only when viewing the feed.

Updates are automatically posted to my blog whenever a new real estate listing comes onto the market. The problem is that it’s always an identical post, and I have the feed being “fed” to Twitter. The reason I need the random content is to make each post seem unique. Twitter has a problem with posting identical content apparently.

Random… that might be a problem. Also each post should already be unique or what’s the point of blogging?

Give this ?Feed plugin a look and see if you can use it. It’s really for copyright and content theft but maybe it will do what you need.

It’s not blogging in the traditional sense. It’s an automated way of saying “hey folks, there’s a new listing available – go to my website for the details”, and my link is added as well…through Twitter.

It’s the same message and the same link, but Twitter has an issue with that. Adding a time stamp would work, so I may need to see if I can hack that in somehow.

I’ll see if there’s a way I can use the plugin you mentioned. If you have any other ideas, let me know.

Thanks!

Last idea: https://twitterfeed.com/ which while not exactly the same, might work for you.

Ok. I thought a bit more about this, and I think I need to add a random string to the end of an incoming “post-by-email”.

So I can make the change to wp-mail.php, and add this php code which will be random in seconds: <?php print date("U"); ?>

Any idea where in wp-mail.php I would add this? I’m looking now as well.

Thanks again for all your help!

Jdembowski I’m using Twitterfeed to feed the RSS into Twitter. But Twitter won’t post identical content.

I think the hack I mentioned a moment ago will work by adding the random string to the incoming post. I just have to figure out where to put it in mail.php.

Thanks again!
