I'm trying to write a plugin or command-line script that will allow an
external process to create a new post in my wordpress blog and have the new
item marked as pending. I want to have this process create the post for a
user in the system, and then let the user review the post before it is
published. I'm reviewing the Wordpress API, but am not sure where I should
start looking on design choices for implementing this. Does anyone have a
suggestion on how I should implement this, or what pitfalls to avoid?
Truth be told, I'd prefer to write a script that publishes using ATOM. And,
I think I have this working. However, I need to modify the attachments as
stored by the powerpress podcast plugin, and am not sure how to make the
wordpress API work within that. Perhaps I should modify the database by
hand? Or, should I do this another way?
I've got a plugin like this so far:
<?php
function update_title_for_podcast($title) {
/* determine the podcast id */
$postid = get_the_ID();
$matches;
if( preg_match( "/podcast=(.*)/", $title, $matches ) ) {
$podcast_id = $matches[0];
}
$filename = "
http://www.blahblah.com/podcasts/" . $podcast_id .
".wav.mp3";
$attachment = array( 'post_title' => 'New podcast', 'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => '' );
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $postid );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
$foo = wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
return "Now with podcast: $title";
}
add_filter('the_title', 'update_title_for_podcast');
?>
Thanks,
Chris
