Hi. The version of the crossposter that is currently under code review doesn't allow for crossposting to communities. It currently posts only to the journal of the user that it authenticates as.
I'm pretty sure that the technical side of crossposting to communities is pretty simple--or I should say, once you have crossposting to a user account set up, extending it to support communities is simple. The more difficult part might be figuring out the best UI for it. Would you just configure separate 'accounts' for each community? Or maybe query the community membership of the account when it is created, and automatically allow for crossposting to any of those? Or maybe you'd want to set it up on a community basis, though I'm less sure how exactly that would work. There are also some spamming questions there, too, but that's a different story. Probably the best approach would be to file a separate bug for community support, and once the crossposter is in place and people critique its UI, we might have a better idea of how it should work for communities, too. -allen On Fri, Apr 03, 2009, 21:10, zvi <[email protected]> wrote >So, some of the communities I'm involved with are looking at affiliating >between LJ and DW.
