What’s New in Version 2.3

WordPress AutoBlog Plugin Comments Off

RSS Feed Sources

  • Added support for dozens more RSS modules.
  • Disable and enable feeds from the main feeds page.
  • Feed viewer now pops up using thickbox.
  • You can now override any post field such as title, date, etc.
  • RSS_CACHE_TIMEOUT can now be set by editing the autoblogged.php file.

Feed Processing

  • Pseudo cron feature improved and now uses the shutdown hook rather than the footer hook so actions such as administration and feedretrieval can initiate feed processing.
  • New feed processing settings allows you to configure individual feeds to update every time AutoBlogged runs or after every each number of runs you set.
  • Allow other feeds to notify your autoblog of updates using an XML-RPC ping.
  • Include all posts from each feed, set a maximum limit on posts added per feed, or have AutoBlogged select random posts based on a percentage you set.

Post Filtering

  • Improved accuracy and exception handling of duplicate post detection.
  • Truncate or filter out posts with long titles.
  • Filter out posts where the titles are in all caps or where they contain multiple consecutive exclamation points or other punctuation.

Categories and Tags

  • Improved category and tag user interfaces
  • More than once category can now be assigned to each feed
  • If more than once category selected, you can have AutoBlogged assign all categories to each post or randomly select one or more to assign to eachpost.
  • Include categories from the original post and add missing categories to your blog if you choose.
  • Updated tag block lists and improved tagging algorithm.
  • You can now disable the internal tagging engine to leave tags off or only use tags from the original post.

Images and Video

  • AutoBlogged now includes a .flv player and also allows you to specify a custom player URL.
  • A variable will be created for each individual image, thumbnail, and video when you enable the EXTRA_IMAGE_FIELDS options by editing autoblogged.php.
  • Improved image retrieval and handling.
  • The default post template now includes videos and image thumbnails.

Authors

  • You can now specify the author to use for new posts, assign a random author or use the name of the original author.
  • If the original author does not exist as an author on your blog, add it, skip the post, randomly pick another author, or specify a default author.

Excerpts

  • Excerpts have been improved and you can now set the length of excerpts based on words, sentences, or paragraphs.
  • Excerpts are automatically added to the Excerpt field of each post.

Post Templates

  • Added the following variables that you can use with post templates: %image_url%, %image_urls%, %thumbnail_url%, %thumbnail_urls%, %video_url%, %video_urls%.
  • Each WordPress post now has a custom field added called Image, Thumbnail, and Video if these exist in the feed. These correspond to the %image_url%, %thumbnail_url%, and %video_url% variables. Various themes, including Revolution and Options will make use of these new custom fields.
  • You can now add any feed element as a post variable, in the format: %media:player% or %media:keywords%. See our list of supported namespaces.

WordPress Integration

  • Improved user interface and compatibility with WordPress versions 2.5 through 2.6.1.
  • Improved compatibility with numerous other plugins, including those that modify the WordPress administration interface.
