JournalPress

JournalPress is a WordPress plugin that enabled cross-posting to sites running LiveJournal Server (i.e. LiveJournal, InsaneJournalJournalFen, Dreamwidth, et al.). It is based on the existing LJXP plugin, however it has a raft of new features including:

  • Support for multiple different mirror journals;
  • Per-post userpic selection;
  • Support for cut text; and
  • More!

It is currently in the stable beta, and as such some features may be incomplete or slightly buggy.

The latest updates about the plug-in’s development can be found here. To report a bug or request a feature, please use the tracker (not the comments on this page).

Or just download it already.

Show Your Support

Like JournalPress? We don’t take donations or anything like that, but if you want to show your support for the plug-in, the absolute best thing you can do is link to this page. Even if it’s just in a blog post. Seriously, it’s a big help.

Note that while JournalPress is freely released under the GPL, obtaining official support for it will cost you a link. Cruel, I know.

Current Todo

The current list of tasks for the project is:

  • A tag for listing where a post has been mirrored to in the template;
  • Fix up whatever’s going wrong with the cut options;
  • Batch post updating; and
  • Do something about those damn userpics…

Already Done…

Version 0.3.2
  • Fixed the nonsensical use of serialize() to work with WordPress v3.0-RC1.
Version 0.3.1
  • More sensible backdating.
Version 0.3
  • Journal pics, finally!
  • Batch updates should hopefully no longer spam f-lists.
  • Fixes for bugs: #2#7 and #8.
Version 0.2.2
  • Added an option to allow comments on f-locked crossposts only.
  • Made some changes to how the tickyboxes on the post screen behave. Should be more sane now.
  • Scheduled posts should now behave a bit better.
  • Batch update/delete all posts functionality added, care of branchandroot.
Version 0.2.1
  • WP-Flock compatibility added.
  • Interface post support added.
  • Some general menu cleaning done to work prettier with WP 2.7.
Version 0.2
  • WordPress 2.7 RC1 compatible, yay!
  • Re-re-fixed the non-Roman character support. Hopefully for the last time.
Version 0.1.3
  • Debugged some of the backdating stuff. It’s a bit more brute force now, but hopefully more reliable (maybe).
  • Added the ability to tag a post with categories, tags or both (you’ll need to re-update your options).
  • JournalPress should now accept non-Roman characters in the crosspost text, music and mood field (location and tags still have issues, but I maintain this one is LiveJournal’s fault).
  • Quotes no longer cause icky backslashes to appear in the mood, music and location fields.
  • Thanks to some of the world’s most convoluted return code, errors are now no longer silent.
Version 0.1.2
  • Scheduled post support added.
  • Basic mood, music and location support added.
  • Post are now tagged with tags as well as categories (gogo undocumented functions).
