A simple liveblog using PHP that posts to itself, withKnown, 10Centuries, micro.blog (because it has an RSS feed), and Twitter at the same time. Very rude, very hackable. Beware.

1. PHP > 5.3
2. Codebird PHP for Twitter
3. PHP Curl needs to be installed for CodeBird. There are ways to disable that. Look 'em up.

This is a very simple liveblog. It posts to itself (sample at Nitin Khanna's Liveblog ) and to Twitter / 10Centuries / withKnown. It's not fancy, but it works. Beware, it's very easily hackable so make sure the passphrase you setup is strong.
If a post is >140 chars, it splits the text to 140 char tweets and posts them as a twitter thread. This functionality is crude and often cuts in between words, so it might not look good. But it works.

You'll need -

1. Twitter consumer key and token
2. Twitter userkey and secret
3. 10Centuries API key
4. Withknown API key
5. API Key for your Mastodon account.

Open configs.php -- all items are explained in the document, along with where to find them. Replace the dummy values with your own values.

Now that you've setup the files, upload them to your server (if you've not already done that). In some instances, you'll have to change the owner of the following files from your own user to 'www-data' - create.php, index.php, text.txt

Open yoursite.com/create.php and bookmark this.

The textarea is where you'll write your post. The Passphrase Field is where you enter your passphrase, as set out in your config. Character count is filled out as you proceed.

Fill both and hit submit. If the post goes through, you'll see the link to your post on 10C, Mastodon and Twitter displayed above the textarea.

If it fails, well bupkes.

The posts will be displayed on yoursite.com. The link to your post on 10C is the little star wars empire logo, twitter (obvs) is the twitter icon.

1. Very weak login
2. Doesn't support hashtags in Share links (Hashtags and @-mentions work when posting)
3. Too much stuff is inline. This is a hack project. If you want to help me clean up the code, I'll accept all pull requests.
4. I created this when I was exporting content from the WP liveblog plugin because that one didn't support an infinite stream. So, there could be bugs because of my cleanup. Oh well.

[] Not display syndication links where syndication has not taken place [] Make the list of services configurable [] Try to get this system working with some other services. Currently thinking of Pnut. [] Try to extract syndication information from the post to withknown. [] I would like to apply the indieweb mf2 tags to the list of posts
