Version 2.0a of the surprisingly popular WordPress to MySpace Auto Crossposter plugin is now released.
Click to DOWNLOAD NOW
The old project page for all 1.x versions is located here.
What It Does
The WordPress to MySpace Auto Crossposter is a WordPress plugin that publishes all of your WordPress blog entries to your MySpace blog at the time of publication. This allows you to publish as usual on your WordPress blog, but to also capture and retain your MySpace audience without any extra effort.
Each time that a new WordPress post goes live it will automatically be sent to MySpace for publication.
Users of the plugin have the option of publishing a notification or a whole story to MySpace.
Notification-style crossposting is the default, which will alert readers of your MySpace blog that you have a new story and provide links back to your WordPress blog. This serves to drive traffic to your WordPress blog and is the recommended option. This options also allows you to avoid many of the MySpace page formatting issues.
Users that select the whole story option will have the entire story crossposted to their MySpace blog for readers to view without leaving MySpace.
The project is the same. The code is evolved.
What’s New in v2.0a
-Many users had trouble installing the original plugin due to the fact that the installation procedure did not make use of the standard WordPress plugin activation process. To help alleviate the problem, v2.0a is activated via the WordPress Plugins Management screen.
-All setup is now handled within WordPress itself directly from the Options > MySpace Crossposter screen.
-All code has been condensed to one file.
-Nothing needs to be modified to initiate the code after it is activated and configured. When you post, it posts. Simple as that.
Installation Instructions
As with most plugins, simply download the source file, place the plugin into your wp-content > plugins directory, activate the plugin on the Plugins admin panel and configure on the Options panel. That’s it. For more information see WordPress.org’s Managing Plugins page.
Quick and Dirty FAQ
When will the plugin update MySpace?
As soon as your story is published. That is, when you click “Publish” and it goes live on your WordPress blog.
What if I set the post to automatically publish sometime in the future? When will MySpace be updated?
When the story goes live on your WordPress blog.
Will the MySpace Crossposter update MySpace when I edit an already published post?
No. The only time the story will be crossposted in on the first publication.
MySpace didn’t update. Why not?
Of course, there could be a million reasons. Assuming that you configured the plugin properly with all the correct information, the #1 reason that MySpace doesn’t update with this plugin is because MySpace was down/not working/under maintenance/otherwise screwed up at the time that you published.
Will my post still be published on my WordPress blog even if MySpace is down?
Yes.
I published my post but MySpace was down, how can I get the crosspost onto MySpace when it’s back up?
Unfortunately at this time, the only way to do so is to delete the live story from your WordPress blog and to republish it.
I get a white screen with errors on it when I click publish. What’s wrong?
What do the errors say? They are usually pretty descriptive. The #1 problem is an invalid MySpace username and password. Double check all of your settings – typos, wrong info, caps lock, etc…
The system seems to hang/take-forever-to-load when I click publish. Why?
If this happens, it’s likely that your database server is not responding properly. It could be down or timing out connections, or you may have the wrong server information in your settings.
I am trying to post the Whole Blog Entry but nothing is showing up on MySpace.
Does the Notification Style work fine? If so, it’s a problem with the code not responding well to your content (we’re on it – debugging in process). If not, then there’s probably a greater underlying issue – start with confirming your setup information.

Sweet – I’ve been looking for a way to do this for about two years.
I had more or less settled on scraping my myspace blogs into wordpress, but whey they started redirecting all new links to myspace’s warning page, I started looking again, and this is exactly what I was looking for.
THANK YOU!
Been working with the ISP, no luck, getting this error from the start, and we’ve checked and 2x checked all the config info, it’s right, plus we’ve tried variations like localhost etc…
She’s a no workee…..
Here’s the error –
“Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@stillmusic.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”

I keep getting this error:

I’ve checked my settings and spellings, and everything is correct, even better the posts are still going through to MySpace. I just get this obnoxious white screen when I publish. Any ideas on how to rectify?

ive seen a few people with the header information error but i haven found any solution. has anyone fixed it?
For what it’s worth, I get the same error as Marc, but despite this it does seem to work. Posts are appearing in the Myspace blog.

Mine was working fine (I’d get the error page after publishing, but it’d still post) NOW it won’t post at all. “Cannot Connect” nothing has changed. Any ideas? I double checked all the configs and I can’t figure it out. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m wondering if it’s MS.
All of a sudden mine has stopped working the same as Dawn. The error message is: –
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘pmyviqtp_ozsteph’@'localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/pmyviqtp/public_html/wp-content/plugins/myspacecrossposter_v2_0a.php on line 414
Could not connect:
It was working up until yesterday. I can’t work it out. Any ideas

OK, I’m having consistent issues with this. On one site I use the cross poster for, I get the following error (and note the repetition of the error message):
BUT the cross poster is posting to the Myspace profile in question. So it works, but it doesn’t?
But then on my personal blog and personal myspace page, I get… well, the same error (sans the 3 times repeat):
In this instance, there is nothing added to my myspace blog. All the login data is correct, mind you… so either I am doing something wrong or there is a setting conflict? Or maybe Myspace is endorsing the other site but not mine personally? :-p j/k
any help appreciated.

Same problem as Chris way up there. Get the “could not connect” error and posts aren’t forwarded to MySpace. I was wondering where all my msplinks traffic went! Did 2.6 break the plugin?
exactly what i was looking for thanks a lot. Installing now :)
I too am getting the white page the error message. If someone has come up with a fix for it, it would be much appreciated. I’m running WP 2.6.
yeah same issue here. 2.6.1
any word?
Hi. I followed th installation instructions, as I have with other plugins. I get the story to publish in myspace, but I still get the following white-page error:

Once I clear that, it should be fine…how do I fix this?
and I am also jukeboxheart on myspace.
Thanks
I still have that white screen issue, but I did get it to cross post, so went on with business as usual. I reinstalled my cross post plugin for Live Journal. After that, when I posted something, I noticed that it cross posted to LJ, but not to myspace. Any idea why? Doe sit not that I am running two cross-posting plug-ins?
Also, I noticed the time stamp is two hours behind my local time, but I don’t see any switch to be able to modify the time stamp. Am I missin something?
Pingback: Stop Me Before I Crosspost Again! at Tad Dreis
This plugin is awesome, thanks for taking the time and putting it together! I’ve installed it and it’s working, but with a small glitch glitch: I also use the BlogsForBands.com Gig Calendar plugin, and rather than posting the most current actual blog posting (Sept 1, 2008), Crossposter posted the calendar entry dated furthest in the future (Dec 2008). WordPress normally knows how to sort out normal posts from data entered into the calendar plugin, but somehow the Crossposter confused them when sending the “latest” post to Myspace. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Hi,
I run wp 2.6.1 with wp-omatic and the crossposter posts about 2 of my syndicated posts and then breaks saying that the user id is wrong.
seems to me to be a compatibility issue with wp-omatic and publish via rss

I get this error when publishing a post with the newest version of wordpress (2.6.2)
Posts to myspace without a problem and if i edit the post no error so things work just another annoying white screen.
Anyone fix this yet?
I am having trouble with this pluggin. I get an error and white screen that reads: Could not connect:
I have everything as required. Can anyone offer any help
I have the same problem as Danny.
I caused me too much headaches to find that your plugin is not compatible to wordpress 2.6.2 and to others like twitterupdate.
If I published a post the post.php went to a blank pages and could not redirect.
As I deactivated your plugin, all other worked fine.
Please update.
Thanks
Great! Works wonderful on my 2.6.2. Great way to keep in touch with family/friends/etc – I’ve honestly had NO issues, and I”m running a heck of a lot of additional plugs. Xanga, Facebook, Twitter … a lot. So any problems others are getting seems .. weird I guess.
Now, the only request I’d make is this: Is there a way to post just a certain snippet of the article, say the first 150 characters, and then have a “go read the article here” with a link? That way you whet the reader’s appetite and then click to finish what you have to say. I think that could be a good feature, if you continue to develop this awesome and undeniably useful plug.
All the talk of apps on MySpace had me start looking; this solved my problem, so it might be useful for any of you:

(I guess this is why you’re not updating the plugin?)

Hey, I too am running into the white screen of death when posting, but I am getting a cross post. To avoid this “error” I commenting out line 236: ” //echo $this->stdError;” which prevents the fake “error” from showing, which prevents the header error…
This worked for like.. one post and now it doesn’t work. Perhaps an update is in order? :)
The plugin doesn’t work anymore.
IMHO the problem IS NOT related to WP updates, BUT with some change with MySpace “API”
will stay tuned for update, for now i’ll keep it disabled :(

Getting “Invalid query: Table ’199x.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist” when I got to post.
Anyone able to help me?
Much appreciated…
Also: the new myspace profile editor sucks….
hi, great plugin. I used an older version a while ago and had no problems with it. I set up a new blog and got the latest version of this plug in but the URL rewrite isn’t working in the crosspost. e.g. the URL for my block entry is http://myblog.com/new-blog-entry but on the Myspace cross post the URL is showing up as http://myblog.com/?p=99
I’ve combed through plugin and didn’t see any obvious settings to look for the rewritten URL.
any help? Thanks!
