Wordpress to Facebook/Twitter

paulgrogan.eu

Hi all,

Back for some trusty advice please!

I am looking for an automated way of transferring my wordpress posts to facebook/twitter once they go public on the site. Now, obviously you are all going to scream, search for a plugin there is 100's, and your right, however, I am looking to customise it that when it displays on facebook, it says via [my website name] at the bottom of the post on our facebook page?

I've looked in facebook & twitter's developer area but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Many thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi Paul

Haven't used much FB stuff since they switched APIs, so everything I know about it is miles out of date But…

Aren't they meant to have good PHP support? Could you look at their site about the details on how to authenticate & cross-post. Once you can:

1) write some SQL to query posts published since some date
2) Take the content of thoses posts, tag on your sign-off line & cross-post to FB
3) Set up a cron-job to run the script every hour/day/5m.

Should be able to manage without a plugin specifically (if I understood your requirements right)

You probably want to edit the XML RSS feed - I'm pretty sure there's a hook you can call in functions.php. I'd estimate it's a 30-60 minute job for someone who knows what they're doing.
