Guys, I have a php script that autopost tweets from my site to twitter. It is using cron job and I have 4 same script running on each 15 minutes for 4 twitter accounts. We have to manually input desired urls to this php file and our cronjob will post a random tweet to twitter.

The script is downloaded from bhw a while ago.
I tried with statusnet api, but no success.

Can anyone can modify this script for using with statusnet?
What we need is: a list of identica sites and its usernames and passwords must be added to the script.

Like:

site1
username
password

site2
username
password

so with one cronjob, we can post to as many as identica sites..
Also we dont need to use twitterfeed or other sites..

File is attached, change extension to .php

Thanks. This should simply my understanding of the WP-Statusnet plugin. WP-Statusnet uses both twitter and statusnet, so I'll be able to check for the minor differences.

@spaceinvader: Yeah I heard of ScrapeBox, but never really thought of a good use for it before this. I can usually emulate the same thing with a Google search, such as:

Code:
inurl:mode=viewprofile                      
^^^Collects a big list of Angela's style links^^^
Actually, I can scrape about 1,000 of them using this search:
Code:
+"public timeline" +"export data" +"StatusNet"
So if anyone else wants to help out creating a list... :)

ill help create the list. just tell me exactly what i need to do in google and ill jump on it.

i dont have scrapebox
 
anyone else seeing that the blog updates are not showing on a lot of these sites i.e. http://rapichat.com/

i posted a test and it never showed althoguh i setup correctly. i pasted "rapichat.com" into the area for the StatusNet server


any ideas?
 
Just a little hint to spread the link juice. When I register, I am putting different pages of my sites to each one since I am there doing it manually anyway. It takes a second longer but I think the payoff might be worth it.

what do you mean?
 
ya not quite sure i did a test post and those sites are not getting the RSS feed for some reason from that twitterfeed.com site. something is wrong. is this not working for anyone else?

same thing has happened to me for all sites that i do. When you switch to plain list view it shows an error icon and feed checked 2010-03-04 04:57:22 : feed checked 2010-03-04 04:57:22: bleeper.de responded: 401 Unauthorized

So the question i have is this. Do we put the server as bleeper.de, rapichat.com etc as its not working for me?
 
This is going very funny.
My twitterfeed is connected with identi.ca and twitter accounts..
google buzz is connected with twitter
identi.ca is connected with twitter
friendfeed is connected with twitter

when twitterfeed posts a post, things are going this way:

twitterfeed > twitter
twitterfeed > identi.ca
identi.ca > twitter (the same post identi.ca replicates to twitter)
twitter > friendfeed
twitter > google buzz

haha nice setup. my twitterfeed isnt posting to the identi.ca like sites though. i checked the accounts.

check to make sure it is using your rss that is where i see it not picking it up for me
 
That is really strange.

@clownbaby, just might as well use your profiles as backlinks to internal pages of your websites since you are already there doing it semi manualy.

Ok I thought I'd post you guys an update of what I'm doing for a twitterfeed alternative script.

I decided to use Subject's script. So far I've gotten it to post to identi.ca (there was one little syntax issue), and added the ability to post on multiple servers. I'm just wrapping it up right now, and it should be available up here in the next few hours.

Features it should have when done:

  • Will randomly take any page in your site and give it a link on a random StatusNet/laconica server
  • Will tell you exactly what it posted to what site, or if it had an error (if you use your browser to run it)
  • Will have the option of also posting to your twitter account
  • Everything in the code is extremely well commented, meaning anyone can figure out how to use/modify it
  • You can run it from your browser or using a cron job.
After that I'll be working on another version that will automatically read your RSS feed and post a random link from that, so you won't have to modify the code everytime you have a new post. It will also be able to create a MySQL table that will record all the links it posted during it's lifetime.

Eventually there's going to be a full-blown wordpress plugin, but I gotta get the basic script down first.

I have added over 20 feeds to twitterfeed for various different servers and not one of them is working except the identi.ca one. all show 401 unauthorised. any ideas as to why this might be happening, as i did all the server checks, feed checks and all are ok

I'm already using twitterfeed, didn't know they added laconi.ca to their social networks, in any case don't forget that status.net is the former laconi.ca platform, so search for laconi.ca footprint too, a lot of microblogs didn't update their script to newer version

also signup for a openID account, it makes things a little simplier when signing up to status/laconi.ca
 
Ok, i have put all the urls from my tabs into a html file. get a plugin for firefox called 'snap link plus'... it lets you right click and drag a box over all the links you want to open in tabs. Most of the links will take you right to the registration page i hope, not tested it!
Code:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/48728

I used another firefox plugin called auto fill forms, you can modify this prog to auto fill passwords too, you will also need to tell it how to fill in the Nickname field in... Do this by going to the plugin options, create a profile then go to 'main' and add a password field. Then modify the username field to have this in the 'Field rule' box.(?:username)|(?:Nickname)

Code:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4775
Took me an hour to do this, hopefully i have made it a bit quicker for you! Hope i haven't over complicated it, i am crap at explaining stuff.

Anyone care to update these plugins to make them work with FF 3.6? It's a simple line of code when you edit the plugin to include the current version. I love FF plugins but it's a nightmare for the writers because when they update FF they have to update their plugins. WTF this isn't wordpress.

There has to be a way around this madness :confused: I mean you find these cool plugins, get attached to them. An update arrives and renders them useless. That's a pain in the ass. I'm surprised that FF is in version 3.6* and they haven't addressed this yet.

Or could someone share a line of code we could edit FF with that nulls the versions so it doesn't tell you that annoying "this is for older verisons" BS.

What's the sense of having a plugin database with thousands of plugins but not all of them are compatible with the current version. That's insane.

HELP!, I know someone on this board can make this happen, shit make it a grease monkey user script if you have too.

They need to make a plugin called "All Versions" that does just that, make all plugins work with any version, who ever creates that will have a monsoon of traffic to their plugin page and probably thousands of DL's a day.



Thanks SpaceInvader for sharing your means of speeding up the process...

Damn, spaceinvader has been one step ahead of me the whole thread! After reading Iglow's tip for identi.ca last week, I realised Status Net was open source and also was planning on scraping some more microblogs with the footprint 'is a microblogging service brought to you by Status.net.'

But what can I say - moronic_kaos and spaceinvader are doing an excellent job. There is huge potential here, let's just hope leachers don't abuse it.

Thanks to both of you.

This really needs to be VIP'd.
 
I would provide hosting for one or more of these sites.
I am running one dedicated server right now (located in Europe) and I am planning about adding one more (located in Europe as well)

Overall, I am pleased about the initiatives taken by you and spaceinvader in this thread. I also agree that this should be moved to VIP, to avoid scammers and leechers just to abuse it, but it would by at my disadvantage too as I have no access to any restricted area on BHW :D

Either way, let me know if you need something else to be done. As said above, I can provide hosting, I could buy and setup the domains, ... Just let me know.

Regards.


Ok. So now we all know the limitations of this service. But guess what, it doesn't have to be so limited.

As I mentioned before, this is an Open-Source platform, meaning it is free to download (just like wordpress). And, like wordpress, dozens of these sites can be set up to relate to any niche we want.

So, here's what I am proposing in order to drag this thing out more:

We create a network of these sites. Now hold on, I've already looked into it. The basic features such as twitterfeed functionality should be compatable with something as simple as HostGator hosting. But exactly how do we get the sites popular?

Make the sites invite-only. In order to apply for membership, the applicant must do some kind of SEO work to contribute to the site (based on what that particular site owner feels is necessary). The site builds popularity & pagerank this way. Once its full of PR and Google Bots, and the site has been somewhat overspammed, just make another one. :)

They could also all be niche-related & post some kind of related article on the homepage so Google picks up on content.

Here's the server requirements to host something like this:
I highlighted the last paragraph to make the requirements a little less frightening. I mean for our use, who the heck would need GTalk or Jabber or SMS?

Any thoughts?
 
ok this is my third time of asking this and noone has replied. As i feel it is important i will ask again as it may determine if this actually works or not.

Has anyone got this to work via twitterfeed with any other microbloging host apart from identi.ca?

i keep getting 401 Unauthorized, and have added over 20 of these. all parse feed ok and pass the authentication test.

If it doesnt work on any other server then its pretty useless using twitterfeed, so i ask in the hope that someone has gotten it to work with any other site
 
Just to get this right......with the script you don't need twitterfeed, right?

Where exactly do you get 401 unauthorized? TwitterFeed should be automatic, and the only way you should be able to view it's communication with another host is through.

EDIT: also,

  • are you signing up for all the sites individually (you have to)
  • did you try different versions of your RSS feed (using the ATOM feeds seems to be a lot less buggy)
  • Try my script above, and try posting to one of the other servers. Maybe twitterfeed just doesn't like your feed for some reason?
  • Try adding your feed to the "subscriptions" panel on one of those servers. Will that make it post?
