How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

specopkirbs · Apr 22, 2009

its possible using autoblogged plugin instead of wp-o-matic or using yahoo pipes though pipes is a pain in the arse to set up you have to fuck around with regex etc to get it working...one other option is to run the feeds through your feed burner account and change them to excerpts problem with that is you loose the images

hi guys. Auto blog @ hxxp//allthatgadget.com

I haven't done much for the past few weeks with my auto blog I did minor submittion my blog to Social Bookmaking sites (digg and stumbleupon). My current traffic is 100+ visitors / day. So far, only made $4 out of that. This kinda suck. Probably tech topic is drying.

Now I do have sometime to screw around with it, but absolutely stuck on editing the YouTube related Videos part. Can some one show me how to increase number of youtube videos, and how to customize them? Really appreaciated.

Want my theme, treat me a coffee and I will send it to you

Code:

todo:
Add feedburner
Change layout of youtubeplugin (I like how technicnews dpoes the youtube videos, changing the size bigger..)
Add Google Privacy policy so adsense stays up
Figure out how techhuck makes that bottom arrow (the one that goes top) float at bottom
Add Languages

thanks. those last two urls are incomplete though mate.

Thanks for all the info, I've been following this thread the last couple of days and learned a ton. I'm 3 days into this website venture(complete newbie) so this question might seem easy. @Specopkirbs. Within the post, where the feed is linking back to the original source, how do you customize that text? Originally, it just duplicates the post title, but i see on your site as well as techchuck, you guys have customize the text to say the name of the source, i.e. Read the whole story on Engadget

specopkirbs · Apr 22, 2009

specopkirbs · Apr 22, 2009

coinpusha thats an option within wp-o-matic and autoblogged you just need to make a custom template in wp-o-matic you can read about it further up the thread some where

coinpusha · Apr 22, 2009

Thanks alot, I'm using Autoblogged, so i will check out the templates and figure it.

if any of you guys are having uses with the twitter related it maybe related to the twitter api the program uses apparently they are fixing some security issues...just thought id let you know

mashget.com doesn't use a custom theme by the way...it uses a free theme which you can download here:

I am having issues getting the twitter part to work in a different theme...it works in the elegantbox theme, but when I try using Massive News, the tagsname doesn't work...it calls nothing! I am not sure it is to do with the api as it still work in the other theme. So the question is what is it about the elegant box theme that allows it to call:

Code:

<?=$tagname ?>

U just used the widget, no issues

CasinoJack · Apr 23, 2009

Looking quick, I see a LOT of changes. Did you chnage the css ?

mark9510 · Apr 23, 2009

Are you sure its not set up to check if there are any widgets set up and discard all edits

mark9510 · Apr 23, 2009

Your sidebar code is supposed to look something like this

Code:

<!-- sidebar START -->
<div id="sidebar">
    <div id="sidebar-body">
        <!-- showcase -->
        <?php if( $options['showcase_content'] && (
            ($options['showcase_registered'] && $user_ID) || 
            ($options['showcase_commentator'] && !$user_ID && isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH])) || 
            ($options['showcase_visitor'] && !$user_ID && !isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH]))
        ) ) : ?>
            <div class="widget">
                <div class="box">
                    <?php echo($options['showcase_content']); ?>
                </div>
            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <ul id="widgets">

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
            
<?php endif; ?>
        </ul>

        <!-- showcase 2 -->
        <?php if( $options['showcase_2_content'] && (
            ($options['showcase_2_registered'] && $user_ID) || 
            ($options['showcase_2_commentator'] && !$user_ID && isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH])) || 
            ($options['showcase_2_visitor'] && !$user_ID && !isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH]))
        ) ) : ?>
            <div class="widget showcase_2">
                <div class="box">
                    <?php echo($options['showcase_2_content']); ?>
                </div>
            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

    </div>
</div>
<!-- sidebar END -->

If its different just hit me up with the scripting
