Push posts to another WPMU instance autpmatically? (9 posts)

    Hello,

    I am currently developing an internal corporate news site that will be WPMU based, in addition to our current WPMU install. I am also going to be deploying an external WPMU instance.

    What I need to do is to be able to push specific posts that are published on the internal new site to the external site based on categories and/or tags (or custom fields). The goal is to have an author publish once on the news portal, and if it should go external add a "external" tag or something similar, so it would automatically be pushed to the external instance.

    If this can be done, I want to expand it so I can push posted content to specific customer sites, as well as other external sites, some of which are not running Wordpress.

    Note that the external sites can NOT see the internal "parent" server, so it cannot be a data pull, it MUST be a push to the external sites.

    Anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas?

    Hm...theoretically you could combine a post by email plugin with another custom plugin to do this... It's definitely not out of the box behavior, though.

    I don't think that one will work for him - as it's intended for blogs all on the same site/network. He's talking about 2 different sites/networks. (I'm slowly integrating the new network terminology....)

    Sounds like I might need to hire a developer for this one.. :-)

    If you do take the custom developer route, look into the xml-rpc hooks.

    Shoot, yeah. Gotta go for custom.

    But that broadcast plugin might come in handy for another site that I'm doing internally.. :-)

    I was going to recommend looking at http://sourcedfrom.com/wordpress/, then I re-read your post and see that what you are looking for isn't what this does. However, for people searching this topic in the future, it might fit the bill.
