How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

abhi1 · May 22, 2009

For people having trouble with the thumbnails in the sidebar, use "Get Post Image" plugin.

Code:

http://www.andrewgrant.org/get-post-image

U will need to add this code:

Code:

<ul>
<?php
query_posts(â€˜category_name=distractions&showposts=6â€²);
while(have_posts())
{
the_post();
$image_tag = gpi_get_image(0,"http://www.myserver.com/default.jpg");
$url = get_permalink();
[URL="http://www.php.net/echo"]echo[/URL] "<li><a href='$url'>$image_tag</a></li>";
}
?>
</ul>

I've not tested it yet as am having trouble with as to where the code needs to be added but as from the demo on his site, it looks perfect

@specopkirbs,

I think you should remove the link from your signature that have the name sale on it. I bought an autoblog from you and you couldn't get the service done. I contacted you many times and you only answered that you were too busy to finish.

When I asked for my money back you only paid half. I think that why you were BANNED for a while. STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE from BHW.

You promised you would deliver an autoblog like technicnews.com and the only thing I got was that: http://tech.foxtergroup.com/
I could have done better myself.

This is a serious forum. you have to respect the users and commit to your promises. This is not because of the money, it's because of the time I waited for and you lied to me.

listen dextercunt
if you ask all the other people ive done blogs for no one else has had a fucking problem i created this thread to help people so dont make out im some sort of fucking scammer.
the original agreement was to replicate technicnews as it was at the time which i did for you. i then agreed to update the videos granted which i couldnt do because im training to deploy to afghanistan which is way more important than your fucking autoblog and i told you and everyone else i was away. this is why i refunded $5 and for fucking $5 you had a fucking bargin anyway.
The reason i was banned was nothing to do with your petty little spat it was because i tried to sell some articles...got banned lesson learned nothing to do with selling to you! i am aware this is a serious forum which is why ive put so much of my own time into the thread...to help people.
i suggest you fuck off away from the thread if your not happy and if like you said you can do better why the fuck didnt you do it yourself in the first fucking place.
you mate are a pathetic individual mate what exactly have you given to this forum yourself if you dont mind me asking

Temper, temper. Losing it is a good way to get banned once again. Why not get back to the topic at hand, which we may have forgotten with all of the replies, is replicating TechChuck, which is apparently a very well put-together autoblog.

specopkirbs, remember, professionalism means nothing when you lose control of it at the first sign of hostility.

Okay I have been working on this for two days now... I finally got wp-o-matic working pretty good but I am not getting the read more here link after the post summary, the end of my post looks like this without a clickable link bias

first impression, and [...]

The title is clickable but takes you to the website not to another page in the blog...not sure what I am doing wrong...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Under the options for your campaign uncheck the box that makes the title clickable to the source. You will also want to add a template so the end of the post has a link to the source or people who you are pulling themes will complain.

Such as:

{content} <p><a href={permalink} target="_blank">Go to the original story</a></p>

specopkirbs · May 24, 2009

well ive just listed technicnews for sale on dp hopefully get some good $$$ for it to fund my new project

Fudnut · May 25, 2009

OK, I'm cash rich & time poor. If you've manged to replicate Techchuck in its current incarnation and you want to sell the setup, just the setup, not a pre-built domain, PM with details please. By replicate, I don't mean an exact clone as per theme & topics, but a clone as per features.

mark9510 · May 25, 2009

Im pretty sure the only person that has a close copy is Namun because he has the toolbar'd version up and running pretty well which is a main advantage

kautilya · May 25, 2009

still can't display the tweets as they are formatted in techchuck, please help!
