I would like to automate the posting of blog entries. Specifically I want my Perforce server to post a message to the blog when somebody checks something in. The post would have the submit comments in the body of the post, and it would include the diffs of the checkin as the extended body of the post.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Sorry to say, this is outside my experience. I'm imagining a whole PHP program that goes to your S9Y, POSTs a form to log in, does some more POSTs to create a new entry, and logs out. Ick.

Maybe one of the phone blog, email blog, or XMLRPC plugins could work. Garvin will certainly have better suggestions when he wakes up. I'll listen and learn.

The best way would be XML-RPC posting, as judebert already mentioned. That's exactly what XML-RPC was menat for.

S9y has an XML-RPC plugin that supoprts the MT and Blogger API, where you can post your postings. Googling for that should reveal many API specs and tools.

Best regards,
Garvin
