No, I do not mean using <a href="http://links.twibright.com"> links</a> or the like, but a way to post from the command line.</p> <p>So, this post is being typed up in <a href="http://www.vim.org">vim</a> on my <a href="http://www.fedoraproject.org">Fedora 8</a> laptop. I will use this great little tool I found called <em>wppost</em> to post. <em>wwpost</em> is part of the <a href="http://www.perl.org">perl</a> module <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~leocharre/WordPress-Post-1.04">WordPress::Post</a>.</p> <p>A brief summary of its commands are bellow:</p> <pre><code> -c category, can be a list separated by commas, no spaces -t title -i description, main body of post, if it has a slash, it is interpreted as a file to slurp like a text or html file -D iso formatted date for post, can be left out -T if there are image attachments, place them as thumbnails only, with link, not just resized </code></pre> <p>Some usage examples taken from the man page:</p> <pre><code> Most basic of usage, (provided you have a ~/.wppost file) wppost -t 'hi everyone' -i 'i just wanted to say hello' If you want to specify two different categories: wppost -t 'Another Apple' -i 'Apples are really great. I do love them so.' -c food,rant -D 20071231 If the body of the post is in a file wppost -t 'title here' -i ./content.txt If the content of the post is in a file and you want to use the file name as the title wppost -i ./Title_Here.txt If you want to have file attachments: wppost -t 'recent photos' -i 'these are recent pictures i took' ./*jpg </code></pre> <p>Pretty cool, huh? <img alt=":)" src="http://www.duckland.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"></p> <p>Peace out!</p>bloggingclilinuxsoftwarehttp://www.duckland.org/posts/200805command-line-blog-posts.htmlWed, 07 May 2008 23:05:00 GMT
