I have written a module and extension that crossposts entries from ExpressionEngine into LiveJournal. It works for posting from one weblog to one LiveJournal account. I’m sure that there are a few people who use both EE and LiveJournal..

Here’s some of the features:

  *  Crosspost entries to LiveJournal.
  * Edited entries will also be posted to LiveJournal.
  * Support for public, friends-only, and private entries – managed using custom statuses.
  * Setup can be basic or advanced.
      -> With a basic setup, you crosspost the entry title and the entry body.
      -> With an advanced setup, you can set up custom fields in your weblog for specifying userpics, friends groups, journal, current mood, current music and tags. You can also control the backdate settings, comment notification settings, and comment screening settings on an individual or global basis.
  * Ability to retrieve a list of userpic keywords, allowed journals, and friends groups from LiveJournal. This is so that you can keep your userpic keywords etc. up to date.
  * Ability to add a link back to your original EE entry.
  * Ability to link to your LiveJournal entry from EE.
  * Ability to convert LiveJournal specific tags into HTML, for use in EE. This code is straight from the LiveJournal Formatting Plugin, I figured I’d put it in here.
  * If you have userpics set up, the userpic will be displayed in the control panel, and it’ll automatically update when you choose another userpic.

There’s more information, and screenshots at my site.

I been trying to get this to work once again on my blog after being outta the loop hole for some time. However it works but .. On my Blog i don’t get the post Instead a Random letter/number Appears I dunno what to do To Remove it or edit it so My post appears and not this Annoying Rabbled   letter line as you can see on the post left on my page.

http://nightvixen.com/neph/index.php/Blog

I’d like to get this to work on my blog besides my LJ which I sussed that out   so then I can move forward in my own Layout design than what ya currently see.

My code for entries includes:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="15"}



{date_heading}
<div class="date">{entry_date format=' %l, %F %d, %Y'}</div>
{/date_heading}

<div class="title"><a href="{title_permalink={my_template_group}/comments}">{title}</a></div>
<
div class="blogbody">
<
div class="{switch='entry1|entry2'}">
<
div class="category">
{categories}
•
<a href="{path=site_index}">{category_name}</a>
{/categories}
</div>

{exp:smarty_pants}
{exp
:markdown}
{exp
:ljformat cut="true" path="weblog/comments/{url_title}"}
{body}
{
/exp:ljformat}
{
/exp:markdown}
{
/exp:smarty_pants}

</div>

<
div class="posted">Posted by <a href="{profile_path=member/index}">{author}</a>  @ {entry_date format='%h:%i %A'}  Â·
{if allow_comments}
({comment_total}) <a href="{url_title_path="{my_template_group}/comments"}">Comments</a>  Â·
{
/if}

{if allow_trackbacks}
({trackback_total}) <a href="{trackback_path="{my_template_group}/trackbacks"}">Trackbacks</a>  Â·
{
/if}
</div>
</
div>

{paginate}
<div class="paginate">
<
span class="pagecount">Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages</span>  {pagination_links}
</div>
{/paginate}

{
/exp:weblog:entries}

I don’t see what could be doing this Just that maybe its a Random Generated Thing from LJ and If so that kinda is annoying As I don’t want that to be viewable at all on my blog.

Any Ideas or tips how to beat this would be appreciated from anyone.

Well… I tried to install this, but so far no lack. I’ve got personal EE (1.6.1) with MSM and Forum extentions. Everything in last builds. What did I do so far? I made a weblog with custom fields: body_field, id_field, anum_field, post_field, backdate_field, allow_comments_field, email_comments_field. I made custom entry statuses: Open, Closed, Friends and Private. I’m sure that I did not miss any step from the instalation documentation. All necessary files located in their appropriate directories as well. Module version is 1.3.When I’m trying to install module in admin panel, I’ve got an error message:

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1067

Description
: Invalid default value for 'field_id'

Query: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `exp_lj_crosspost_fields` ( `id` INT(6) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `lj_field` VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, `field_id` INT(6) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '', `field_name` VARCHAR(32) DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`id` , `lj_field`));

Any clue?  raspberry

No clue… Four days I killed for this extension, and… OK! Removing it from a system. Maybe some day somebody will make a decent extension of this kind. raspberry
