This post is to test LJXP (with slight modifications) and a mod of the same plugin (altered to post to DeadJournal simultaneously…DJXP ?).
This post was made via email sent from my SK II, updated using the Postie plugin triggered by a cron job.
If all goes well this post, which includes a pic of my dorky dog, will appear in my Wordpress blog (creepigurl.com), LiveJournal & DeadJournal.
LJXP needed only a few changes to suit me:
- removed styling from linkback text
- enabled comments for the LJ (& DJ) posts
- duplicated plugin to allow posting to two different LJ based sites
- turned of preformatting for LJ & DJ posts
- set default LJ & DJ user pic for posts originating from WP
Otherwise ~ right ‘out of the box’ Evan’s LJXP is a fabulous plugin to replace Live+Press for WP 2.0. It would be nice if I were able to use the WP categories as LJ/DJ tags in the x-posts…I’ll look into it when I have some spare time.

[edit] Evan’s plugin is working just as expected ~ all three sites will sync with each post made to creepigurl.com.
The following code will tag the LJ post with whatever categories you used on WP (add it somewhere in ljxp_post())
$cats = wp_get_post_cats(”, $post_id);
if(!is_array($cats)) {
$cats = array($cats);
}
$cat_names = array_map(”get_cat_name”, $cats);
$cat_string = implode(”, “, $cat_names);
And change the $args[props] array to:
$args[props] = array(”opt_nocomments” => true, “opt_preformatted” => true, “taglist” => $cat_string);
(although I think you’ve made some alterations to that line already, but you can figure it out)
The changes are already in the next version of LJXP. If you send me an e-mail (my address is on my site), I’ll add you to the notification list for new versions.

Thanks again Evan!
