Showing Blog Post Title in each of the Live Blog Entries?

    Is there a way to get the title of the master blog post from within each of the live blog entries?

    I’d like to automatically post every single live blog entry to Facebook (or simply do a RSS feed with all the live blog entries) but would love to have a title there, hence I’d simply like to put the overall title of the live blogging event there …

    My goal is to have a single post entry, that looks somewhat like this:

    Update: [DATE-TIME] [TITLE OF THE LIVE BLOG EVENT]
    [AUTHOR]
    [CONTENT]

    But I couldn’t find any way to retrieve the blog event’s title (i.e. the WP post that includes the Shortcode) for this …

    Please, any hint or suggestion would help!

    Thanks!

    Just in case someone is interested – I now found a pretty rough, but working solution for this:

    I do have a custom template for Live Blog entries (check out WP documentation how to have individual custom templates for different post types …):

    In this custom template file the following code does the magic:

    <h1>Update:
<?php
$masterid = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'liveblog', array( 'fields' => 'names' ));
if ($masterid[0]) {
$mastertitle = get_the_title($masterid[0]);
$masterlink = get_permalink($masterid[0]); //use this if you want to add a link to the master document, e.g. below each entry
echo $mastertitle;
}
?>
</h1>
