PhoneBlogz auto-post feature

Post by sonichouse »

Not sure if I have missed this, but is it possible to allow certain users to have the phoneblogz submission auto post ?

This would be cool for automated announcements from my phone.

Hi!

You mean, you want to DISallow it to certain authors, and only grant it to certain users?

You could to that through the group management, where you can disable certain event plugins for usergroups.

No, I want the post to appear automatically.

At the moment, I have to go to Admin->Phoneblogz and then submit.

I have set the user, but I still have to manually post.

Hi!

Can the URL maybe be included in a cronjob? I haven't used phoneblogz on my own yet...

Not sure is the honest answer.
Phoneblogz must post to my server using XML/API and then it appears in my Admin section as an entry in the phoneblogz section which I then have to submit.

Hi!

I'd love to help improve the plugin; but since I don't want to payfor calls to the US (I'm in germany, no VOIP), I'm sadly not able to even test this...:)

No problem, thankfully they have a number in the UK.
This is not a major issue for me, as I see this more as a gimmick/nice to have.

Cheers,
