TXP Blog Section -> ( twitter, facebook, 2 x other TXP installs)
OK, I think this can be done, but I want to see if anyone else has some wisdom here…
I have a client that run’s three(3) sites, a twitter and a facebook page. He wants to be able to post once, preferably through a master TXP site.
Is this doable with a combination of RSS feeds from the main site. I don’t care that much about all the comments going everywhere. Just the blog post articles (or even excerpts).
Show me your mad social media integration skeels…

If you want to integrate a site with Twitter then try arc_twitter (shameless self plug). It will let you update a Twitter account every time a new article is posted, including some customization of the Tweet. Admin can also update the Twitter account through a Twitter tab under extensions. The plugin also comes with a couple of public-side tabs for outputting Twitter feeds.
As for Facebook, I’m not aware of any plugins to do this but you can integrate RSS feeds with Facebook notes so that articles appear on the Facebook profile (well you used to be able to).
That should sort all this out.

Facebook:

or use facebook-share
Twitter:
I’m not a Twitter user but I found this on google: twitterfeed.com
or again use a share link: http://twitter.com/home?status=Bla bla bla bla bla bla
If you want to post a link back to the article page so use smd_short_url plugin to save characters.

Has any one tried Ping.fm ? I use it all the time to update status across more than Twitter-Facebook-Myspace-GoogleTalk-YahooProfiles-…
It would be real cool if some one was able to develop a plugin for Ping.fm so we wouldn’t have another plugin every-time a new social network pops up.

Thanks Guys
There are three elements and I think I have the first two covered, the third is up in the air.
- twitter: I’ll use arc_twitter
- facebook: I’ll use the method described here
- TXP sites #2 & #3: Still need advice.
So if I understand it correctly, and the Blog on my master site is section “myBlog” then I could use:
- “arc_twitter” to push all posts from “myBlog: to twitter
- “rss_graffiti* to suck posts from “myBlog” to facebook
- “aks_rss” to suck in posts from “myBlog” on the master site and mirror it on sites #2 and #3.
What do you think, big brained people?

For 3) maybe you could use Stef’s new smd_xml along the same lines as aks_rss, depending on whether you need to just show the content from elsewhere or work with it (e.g. sort/filter). Another option might be to run one txp installation and something like ied_if_domain to split the content to different domains. I’ve not used it but yura writes in that thread: “In other words you have one database for a number domains or subdomains, then you give different content to those domains/subdomains with a little help of the “if” statement. That’s the idea.”
I’ve not tried v4.2’s multi-site capability yet either. Maybe that’s helpful too?

50% off-topic, but:
I just saw that Myspace are now using the same meta tags for sharing just like facebook! (hurray!!!)
The new myspace share option is finally arrived :)
EDIT:
There are syntax errors in all of the codes there (in the <a> sharing links examples),
they used double-quotes (") inside double-quotes (“)
instead of using single-quotes (‘)
so if you use the codes just change the inside quotes to a single and not double.
of course I also sent this issue to myspace for fixing it ;)
PEACE!
now it’s 75% off-topic lol!
