I use stackoverflow very often and just found out in google about this one, Nice :D

Well, i want to save my every post i write from wordpress to my 3rd (OEXChangeble) website aswell at the same time, so i need to send the info to my website, developing a plugin iguess

I need basically the permalink (and i would be able to extract the rest of the params from my wesite), but better if i can get title, tags, permalink and description(or some of it)

i understand by my google research that all i need to do is add something like

<?php

//header of plugin   
function myFunctionThatSendsMyWebsite($url){
// procedure containing a file_get_contents('myqwebsite?url=') request to my website
}
add_action('page_post', 'myFunctionThatSendsMyWebsite', $permalink));

?>

I have problems thoug finding the name of variables i have missing (marked by ???). I know that $post contains all objet, how to extract the info from it (if there is), or if it's complicated, it would be enought for me with permalink

Any tip?

Thanks!

I am not entirely sure what you are trying to do. But you are definitely a little off with add_action(). Should be something like this:

function myFunctionThatSendsMyWebsite($post_ID, $post) { 

    // $post_ID and $post will have post's ID and full post object
}
add_action('save_post', 'myFunctionThatSendsMyWebsite', 10, 2);

  • @Toni Michel Caubet to post being saved? You can get it from ID with get_permalink()

  • ok, i'm close! but my code is executed when i click on 'new post' and i'd like to only be when i 'publish post' ? Thanks, by the way! Commented Feb 28, 2011 at 18:24
  • @Toni Michel Caubet hooking for specific action done on post is a little more tricky and complex that it might seem. See Post Status Transitions in Codex.
