I kategorin Tips så delar jag med mig av intressanta inlägg som jag hittat via mina RSS-flöden i Google Reader.

Det finns flera andra som har liknande funktion på sina bloggar, de använder då exempelvis FeedWordPress, SharedItems2WP eller WP-o-Matic. Av olika anledningar passade ingen av dessa lösningar mig perfekt, mest för att jag ville ha full kontroll över flödet och för att det var så länge sen jag programmerade i perl …

Som jag nyss avslöjade, så skrev jag alltså ett perl-script som hämtar min shared items-feed från google reader (via XML::Atom::Syndication::Feed) och sen trycker jag in en post med de senaste bloggtipsen i WordPress (via XMLRPC::Lite).

Effekten blir den här.

Gå till Google reader, hitta ett intressant inlägg och välj ”Share with note”.

Lägg till en anteckning och spara.

Kör sen perlscriptet gr2wp.pl (Google Reader To WordPress).
Då skapas ett WP-inlägg med alla nya utdelade bloggposter.

Alla ”Jonas tipsar”-inlägg

Här kommer perlscriptet. Du får gärna använda och modifiera det helt fritt. Jag har utgått från ett script som postade google-reader shared items till delicious.
