NAME App::org2wp - Publish Org document (or heading) to WordPress as blog post VERSION This document describes version 0.013 of App::org2wp (from Perl distribution App-org2wp), released on 2022-05-02. FUNCTIONS org2wp Usage: org2wp(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta] Publish Org document (or heading) to WordPress as blog post. This is originally a quick hack because I couldn't make L on my Emacs installation to work after some update. "org2wp" uses the same format as "org2blog", but instead of being an Emacs package, it is a CLI script written in Perl. First, create "~/org2wp.conf" containing the API credentials, e.g.: ; use INI (IOD) format for this file proxy=https://YOURBLOGNAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php username=YOURUSERNAME password=YOURPASSWORD Note that "proxy" is the endpoint URL of your WordPress instance's XML-RPC server, which can be hosted on "wordpress.com" or on other server, including your own. It has nothing to do with HTTP/HTTPS proxy; the term "proxy" is used by the XMLRPC::Lite and SOAP::Lite Perl libraries and "org2wp" simply uses the same terminology. You can also put multiple credentials in the configuration file using profile sections, e.g.: ; use INI (IOD) format for this file [profile=blog1] proxy=https://YOURBLOG1NAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php username=YOURUSERNAME password=YOURPASSWORD [profile=blog2] proxy=https://YOURBLOG2NAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php username=YOURUSERNAME password=YOURPASSWORD and specify which profile you want using command-line option e.g. "--config-profile blog1". Document mode You can use the whole Org document file as a blog post (document mode) or a single heading as a blog post (heading mode). The default is document mode. To create a blog post, write your Org document (e.g. in "post1.org") using this format: #+TITLE: Blog post title #+CATEGORY: cat1, cat2 #+TAGS: tag1,tag2,tag3 Text of your post ... ... then: % org2wp post1.org this will create a draft post. To publish directly: % org2wp --publish post1.org Note that this will also modify your Org file and insert this setting line at the top: #+POSTID: 1234 #+POSTTIME: [2020-09-16 Wed 11:51] where 1234 is the post ID retrieved from the server when creating the post, and post time will be set to the current local time. After the post is created, you can update using the same command: % org2wp post1.org You can use "--publish" to publish the post, or "--no-publish" to revert it to draft. To set more attributes: % org2wp post1.org --comment-status open \ --extra-attr ping_status=closed --extra-attr sticky=1 Another example, to schedule a post in the future: % org2wp post1.org --schedule 20301225T00:00:00 Heading mode In heading mode, each heading will become a separate blog post. To enable this mode, specify "--post-heading-level" ("-l") to 1 (or 2, or 3, ...). This will cause a level-1 (or 2, or 3, ...) heading to be assumed as an individual blog post. For example, suppose you have "blog.org" with this content: * Post A :tag1:tag2:tag3: :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: cat1, cat2, cat3 :END: Some text... ** a heading of post A more text ... ** another heading of post A even more text ... * Post B :tag2:tag4: Some text ... with this command: % org2wp blog.org -l 1 there will be two blog posts to be posted because there are two level-1 headings: "Post A" and "Post B". Post A contains level-2 headings which will become headings of the blog post. Headline tags will become blog post tags, and to specify categories you use the property "CATEGORY" in the "PROPERTIES" drawer. If, for example, you specify "-l 2" instead of "-l 1" then the level-2 headings will become blog posts. In heading mode, you can use several options to select only certain headlines which contain (or don't contain) specified tags. FAQ What if I want to set HTTP/HTTPS proxy? You can set the environment variable "HTTP_proxy" (and "HTTP_proxy_user" and "HTTP_proxy_pass" additionally). See the SOAP::Lite documentation for more details, which uses LWP::UserAgent underneath. This function is not exported. This function supports dry-run operation. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * comment_status => *str* (default: "closed") Whether to allow comments (open) or not (closed). * exclude_heading_tags => *array[str]* Exclude heading that has any of the specified tag(s). * extra_attrs => *hash* Set extra post attributes, e.g. ping_status, post_format, etc. * filename* => *filename* Path to Org document to publish. * include_heading_tags => *array[str]* Only include heading that has all specified tag(s). * password* => *str* * post_heading_level => *posint* Specify which heading level to be regarded as an individula blog post. If specified, this will enable *heading mode* instead of the default *document mode*. In the document mode, the whole Org document file is regarded as a single blog post. In the *heading mode*, a heading of certain level will be regarded as a single blog post. * post_password => *str* Set password for posts. * proxy* => *str* Example: C. Note that "proxy" is the endpoint URL of your WordPress instance's XML-RPC server, which can be hosted on "wordpress.com" or on other server, including your own. It has nothing to do with HTTP/HTTPS proxy; the term "proxy" is used by the XMLRPC::Lite and SOAP::Lite Perl libraries and "org2wp" simply uses the same terminology. * publish => *bool* Whether to publish post or make it a draft. Equivalent to "--extra-attr post_status=published", while "--no-publish" is equivalent to "--extra-attr post_status=draft". * schedule => *date* Schedule post to be published sometime in the future. Equivalent to "--publish --extra-attr post_date=DATE". Note that WordPress accepts date in the "YYYYMMDD"T"HH:MM:SS" format, but you specify this option in regular ISO8601 format. Also note that time is in your chosen local timezone setting. * username* => *str* Special arguments: * -dry_run => *bool* Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2020, 2019, 2017, 2016 by perlancar .
