INSTALLATION This is a two step process. You should have a text editor at hand, along with access to the WordPress database and a browser. This pertains to Blogger API Client, version 0.1 and up. Step 1: Add the Blogger API Client database table. From the command line, execute the following command % mysql -u [-p] < bac-data.sql Your system may vary; you may not need a password (the '-p' portion). I don't know your machine. Check in your wp-config.php file if you've forgotten these parameters. Step 2: Move the plug-in file, activate. Move the bac/ directory to your wp-content/plugins directory. Then move bac/bac.php down directly into the wp-content/plugins directory. Edit it and find the configuration section right below all the plugin information. It looks like this: // You must fill out these parameters for your Blogger API account before // the plugin will activate properly. $bac_username = "yourusername"; $bac_password = "yourpassword"; $bac_server = "hostname"; // e.g., www.blogger.com $bac_path = "/service/path"; // e.g., /api Change the settings according to your account and the Blogger API service you intend to use; it won't work unless you fill in all of the correct configuration information. Browse over to http://yoursite.example.org/wp-admin/plugins.php and find the Blogger API Client plugin. Hit 'Activate,' and you're ready to go. [CONDITIONAL] Your service may require a key, and you may want to specify which blog amongst several under your username; these two configuration variables will help you do that. $bac_key = ""; // Blogger key, 0213456789ABCDEF $bac_blogid = ""; // Blog ID if you have several [optional] Step 3: You can post entries only from certain categories. If you don't care about this function, skip this step. In the administrative interface, find or create categories that you'd like to use and remember the numerical ID associated with each. Find this line in bac.php, under the previous configuration options. // example using IDs 1 and 2: $bac_category = array("1", "2"); $bac_category = array(); As in the commented example, add your desired IDs to the array. Now only those posts in the categories you designated will be cross posted. [optional] Step 4: Enable urlparse support When cross posting, your non-absolute URL's may break (those that don't start with 'http://'). To filter content such that all links are transformed into absolute URL's, download the urlparse plug-in (http://ryanlee.org/software/wp/urlparse/) and activate it. This is not bundled with BAC because of licensing constraints. As a plug-in, it does not actively do anything, it merely provides functions that other code can call upon. Open up bac.php in your editor and find the following two commented lines: //!!!uncomment for urlparse support //$content = urlparse_external_links($content, $ID); and remove the two slashes from the beginning of the second line.
