• thought I'd share this Synchronet -> Wordpress Module I cobbled together

    Hey hey there folks, I whipped something up for my own purposes that may be ofãuse to maybe one or two people in the world, and if they're out there, they'reãprobably here. So without further adieu, here's my first I suppose it wouldãbe called module. It basically just allows you to interface with wordpressãposts, Create, read, update using simple javascript objects. You don't reallyãneed to be too advanced with javascript to be able to do something with thisãmodule, but the more you know the more use you'll get out of this module,ãbecause it's up to you. Oh yeah, and you'll need to install the proper pluginãfor the Wordpress rest-API (see comments in source code).ããAnyhow, hopefully someone enjoys this, but I know I will. I love Synchronet,ãbut I also try to use wordpress for web stuff because it's so easy. hell, iãprobably don't need to advertise wordpress though. following this ramblingãwill be a link to the code, and if you try it out or think it's cool or iãshould shove it let me know. ããhttps://github.com/chairmanmow/synchronetWP-APIããcheers, ããllmorphgããp.s. just because i'm sharing this doesn't mean i'm supporting it in anyãway... that doesn't mean i won't work on it... i'm just working on it for myãown purposes...ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ telnet to utureland.grudgemirror.com and check out our website for a sneak preã

I don't think you'd really necessarily need this module to cobbleãsomething together, I actually think I've cobbled some things together usingãthe listserver function on synchronet where you can email to a message board.ãI guess you can subscribe to wordpress sites via email, and that might be oneãway. i think i did it using some rss feed to email service. Anyhow, it'sãdefinitely possible to some extent, but I would suppose if one were familiarãwith the Synchronet message objects it's probably trivial. ããThe cool thing is it kinda opens you up to exploiting wordpress plugins forãyour bbs too. Since I have things like social media updaters on my wordpressãsite by category for instance, if I wanted to publish something acrossãfacebook,twitter, tumblr, google + I probably can leverage a solution thatãsomeone already built-in. If you wanted to make posts on login for instance,ãor when someone got a high score on a game or whatever action you can doãwhatever.ããI didn't crack the full API or anything, there are endpoints and routes thatãaren't handled. You can handle users for instance with the API, which I couldãsee opening up some cool things, but I have no interest in that for myãpurposes right now, and I'm probably the most imaginative on this frontierãright now (wordpress + synchronet cross functionality). I'm not sure how longãor why I would do it if I did add more stuff though. But I'll probably findãout as I build out my app that uses this module and update the githubãaccordingly. It definitely can be extended and if anyone wants to try have atãit. ;) Also, I'm just using basicAuth because I was having a hard timeãinstalling some stuff on my WP server, so I probably will update that in dueãtime.ããblah blah blah i'm glad you're interested though!ããsupercheers,ãllmorphgãã---ã þ Synchronet þ telnet to utureland.grudgemirror.com and check out our website for a sneak preã

It was a good learning experience to get toãwork with a REST API using http.js; I think it will serve me well in theãfuture. I tried to get into the twitter API as well after I got into thisãone, but I think I wasn't able to succeed because I wasn't able to find a POSTãmethod in the Synchronet libraries that worked over httpS (note the S). WhichãI think means I need to learn (or steal ) some more PHP to make that happen soãI can pass the plain http requests through my web server and then into twitterãor whatever. I could be wrong though as far as my understanding of the bestãway to solve that problem is. That might work for me though as I'm gettingãpretty comfortable with the javascript. ããAnyhow, I'm rambling, but I encourage you to play around and make things forãsynchronet that are useful. I know that's an outrageous thing to say but it'sãtrue!ããhehehããllmorphgãã---ã þ Synchronet þ telnet to utureland.grudgemirror.com and check out our website for a sneak preã
