AutoUpdate LiveJournal Hack

I haven’t looked at the code for the hack yet but from LJ: https://www.livejournal.com/manage/emailpost.bml?mode=help

Journal entry security
Security options are set via the lj-header “lj-security”. If the security type specified is unknown, the journal entry defaults to private. If no security is specified, the entry is posted according to your default journal security.
lj-security: public
lj-security: private
lj-security: friends
lj-security: friendgroup

As for formatting, I found this url: https://www.livejournal.com/community/lj_userdoc/337025.html and it suggests to use <lj-raw>your post here</lj-raw>

Let you know that the Friends only AutoUpdate LJ script works, LL! I tested and everything is good. Thanks so much for the hack. I’m really enjoying WP so far. Sushubh, yup, I converted and took me a while to figure it out (upgrading). Now ev’thing’s running. Great stuff! I’m using 1.01 for now and look forward to next update.

?? I am glad! Welcome to the WordPress community!
Peace

It is really not very insecure to have the username and password in that file. It is as secure as having a wp-config.php with your database and password in it. Just dont send that file to someone without changing the info first.
As for the request, I am in the middle of a thesis and extremely busy. However, I am willing to get it done when I have some free time. Could you do me a favor and send me an email reminding me of this and I will try to work that in for you.
Peace

I was wondering what to do when I dont want my smilies to show up in the lj entry because of the high bandwidth. I deleted the convert to smilies part. Was that right?

yep ??

There is an update to this script. Same download location as above, but features listed here:

The ability to edit would be awesome

Despite my previous post, at this time there are no plans to make an edit feature for liveJournal blogs.

i didn’t get it to work ??

Go to https://www.tdsexperience.com/files/lj-autoupdate.txt for a slightly-modified version of this script. It fixes two issues:

• The slashes in the subject field weren’t being escaped.
• LJ added extra line breaks, doubling the space between paragraphs.

If you’re using a customized version of this function (like for friends-only posting), then simply make the following changes:
Find the line
$subject = $post_title;
and replace it with:
$subject = stripslashes(stripslashes($post_title));
Then find
$content = convert_chars($content, 'html');
and add after it:
$content = wpautop($content);
$content = "<lj-raw>".$content."</lj-raw>";
That’ll fix the aforementioned problems.

>>LJ added extra line breaks, doubling the space between paragraphs.
I was getting bugged by this too. If you could mail Mark (LaughingLizard), he would be glad to know the changes made.

is this a fix so that you have to have LL’s version installed first?

Yes. Follow his instructions, then make the changes I indicated.

oh okay thanks … i couldn’t get his to work so ??
