Hello,
I've been automating my tumblr submissions for a while now using a few scripts. I'm sending them here now with a short explanation how to use them.
I'm using this for my adult blog on tumblr, so all my content are images. I also post manually, but that's another story. Tumblr has a cool feature, allowing people to queue their posts, thus allowing them to "post" even when they are not online.
So, without further ado, here are the steps:
1. create a folder on your web server which is writable by apache. This is needed because my scripts will unzip your zip archive with images and write them to that folder, for later upload to tumblr.
2. create folder "upload" in the folder where you'll store the scripts provided here
3. unzip all the files provided in zip file to above mentioned folder
3.b. modify php files (not much - enter your folder, user, password and some other info needed for scripts to work)
4. navigate your browser to the index.html (these php files and index.html must all be we accessible!)
5. zip your images into ZIP archive. Don't use folders - only images.
6. upload your zipped file via form provided.
that's it.
if something wents wrong, images won't be removed from server, so you can use post_to_queue link (also provided on index.html).
i never ment to publish this until now, so it might not be the best thing around, but it's doing the job.
please don't hesitate to ask if you have some issues.
