Twitter and Tumblr now playing

[techmonkey]

I recently started using http://tumblr.com and although it isn't as popular as Twitter, it has other benefits (such as no character limitation)

 

That got me thinking, that if we can get our now playing updating twitter every 10 minutes then it must be possible with tumblr. I couldn't find a script that would take a twitter post and cross post to Tumblr, nor could I find one for Shoutcast to Tumblr, so I created one, then decided to merge it with the existing twitter one we use and came up with the attached!

 

Please note that there are two areas you need to configure in twitter.php (the only file you need to edit)

 

At the top of the file, the twitter and shoutcast settings

#Consumer key token
$consumer_key = 'YOUR TWITTER COMSUMER KEY HERE';

#Consumer secret token
$consumer_secret = 'YOUR TWITTER COMSUMER SECRET TOKEN HERE';

#Access Token
$token = 'YOUR TWITTER ACCESS TOKEN HERE';

#Access Token Secret 
$secret= 'YOUR TWITTER ACCESS SECRET TOKEN HERE';

$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $token, $secret);
$twitterObjUnAuth = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);


$refresh = "600";  // Page refresh time in seconds. Put 0 for no refresh
$timeout = "5"; // Number of seconds before connecton times out - a higher value will slow the page down if any servers are offline

$ip[1] = "YOUR STATION'S IP ADDRESS"; 
$port[1] = "YOUR STATIONS PORT NUMBER";

 

and further down the page

 

//START TUMBLR CONFIGURATION
$tumblr_email    = 'YOUR TUMBLR EMAIL ADDRESS';
$tumblr_password = 'YOUR TUMBLR PASSWORD';
// Data for new record
$post_type  = 'regular';
$post_title = 'Recently played';
$post_body  = $song[1] . ' http://Station URL HERE';

 

 

Please make sure you edit both sections.

 

Also, make sure that title.txt is writeable on your server.

 

We keep twitter.php open in the background so it refreshes and posts every 10 minutes

 

I've included the pal script from the original, although we don't use SAM Broadcaster anymore (Go RadioDJ!) and this script should work whatever program you are using to stream!

Yay Techmonkey Posted them!

 

I use Both scripts on My Shoutcast with Twitter and today the tumblr account! And without single PAL script either !!!

 

The twitter feed can be seen here http://baldyradio.com

 

And we post pretty much the same to this http://baldyradio.tumblr.com/

 

I Hope Everyone manages to get this working as i reckon theyre both useful Utilities!

 

Go tech Monkey!!!

[digitalhunter]

Gotta agree with Gary! Thanks for sharing the script. I'm sure this will be something I can implement onto my site so +Rep

I actually started using tumblr recently and I get more hits to my tumblr blog then to my website so I been really considering making tumblr my main website (just giving it the main domain name) and this script is great and was very easy to add it to my tweetcast script I already had working. THANKS so much for this!!! oh you can view my tumblr blog at http://tm101radio.tumblr.com

[techmonkey]

Glad to be of help!

 

I've changed ours over to a cron job than runs on the web server now rather than requiring a browser to be open (although the actual script itself remains unaltered)

[TM101Radio]

Yeah the cron job is how im using it also I have mine set to every 4 hours so as to not annoy my twitter and tumblr followers..

Can this be adapted for Icecast?

I can't seem to get this to work at all.

I can't seem to get this to work at all.

 

The original file seems to not be there, the code that is shown is just a part of it, so it would not work. I'll PM the OP.
