Posting to wordpress from safari with clipboard

[TomKellytak54]

Using poster. Safari won't pass the selection so i go through the clipboard. Pythonista combines the clipboard and the URL info into a nice post.

[TomKellytak54]

The javascript is standard, sending the URL and title to pythonista, and asking pythonista to forward them to Poster.

<pre>javascript:window.location='pythonista://clip2poster?action=run&argv='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&argv='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);</pre>

Here is the pythonista code

<pre>

-- coding: utf-8 --

url title and clipboard to poster

clip2poster

includes code from f viticci and others

print('begin')
import webbrowser
import urllib
import clipboard
import urllib2
import sys
import re
import bs4
import console
import markdown
import string
#reduce load time by eliminating some imports
print('begin2')

numArgs = len(sys.argv)

console.clear()

for testing

if numArgs < 2:
webpage = 'http://google.com'
webpage = webpage.encode('utf-8')
newurl = webpage
name = webpage
title = webpage
myurl = webpage
#i don't use this feature above.

#console.show_activity()

soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen(newurl))

title = soup.title.string

name = title.encode('utf-8')

#console.hide_activity()

else:
webpage = sys.argv[1]
myurl = sys.argv[2]

name = webpage

#general steps to sanitize the file name by removing colons, etc.

name = webpage.encode('utf-8')
safechars = '_-() ' + string.digits + string.ascii_letters
allchars = string.maketrans('', '')
deletions = ''.join(set(allchars) - set(safechars))
#filename = '#abc.$%.txt'
name = string.translate(name, allchars, deletions)
print(name)

this didn't work for me:'

#s = "John Smith's Cool Page";
#filename = s.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi, '_').toLowerCase();

print '\nGenerating url and title..'
print('\n\n title= ' + webpage)
print('\n\n myurl= ' + myurl)

mdlink = '[' + webpage +'](' +myurl +')'
#htmlurl = markdown.markdown(mdlink) + '\n'

to use if and when poster accepts html

#mdlink = '(' + webpage +')[' +myurl +']'
#clip = mdlink + clip

for use if and when poster accepts markdown.

clip = clipboard.get()

clip = mdlink + '\n\n' + clip
clip = 'Clipped from link: ' + myurl + '\n\n' + clip + '...'
text = clip.encode('utf-8')
text = urllib.quote(text, safe='')

safari = myurl
poster = "posterapp://create?"
actions = '&callback_url=' + safari
mytitle = name # or webpage
mytitle = urllib.quote(mytitle, safe='')
print('\n\n poster= ' + poster)
print('\n\n text= ' + text)
print('\n\n actions= ' + actions)
print('\n\n mytitle= ' + mytitle)
webbrowser.open(poster + '&title=' + mytitle + '&text=' + text + actions)
</pre>
