API for Broadcasting?

    Hi,

    our network uses a self-written-plugin to get posts from another system.
    Is there any kind of API that we can use to broadcast these posts automatically to another blog?

    Like:
    // Fetching data and creating a new post
    $test = new Broadcast;
    $test->broadcastToBlog(ID of the new Topic, Target-Blog);

    That would be great. Currently we have to post it manually every time we get new posts into the main blog.

    Greetings from Germany,

    I’m aware of the fact that Broadcast is missing proper documentation and a nice API. This is in the works. In the meantime, here is some code adapted from the ACF Broadcast plugin:

    $broadcasting_data = new broadcasting_data();
    $broadcasting_data->custom_fields = true;
    $broadcasting_data->taxonomies = true;
    $broadcasting_data->link = true;
    $broadcasting_data->parent_blog_id = $parent_blog_id;
    $broadcasting_data->parent_post_id = $parent_post_id;
    $broadcasting_data->post = $parent_post;

    // Repeat this several times…
    $blog = new \threewp_broadcast\broadcast_data\blog;
    $blog->id = $child_blog_id;
    $broadcasting_data->broadcast_to( $blog );

    $broadcast = \threewp_broadcast\ThreeWP_Broadcast::instance();
    $broadcast->broadcast_post( $broadcasting_data );

    It should be enough to get you started. 🙂
