export phpbb forum post to blogger or some other blog - phpbb

Question

There is this forum. I want to to be able to select a certain forum post and convert it to a blogger post . Is this possible ? If so how do I get started ?
Thanks

This is certainly possible but no Mod currently exists for this so you would have to custom code to create a Mod in PHPBB from the Posting Page to push posts to Blogger. You can use the following function of the Blogger PHP API to create a Blogger Post:
function createPublishedPost($title='Hello, world!', $content='I am blogging on the internet.')
{
$uri = 'http://www.blogger.com/feeds/' . $blogID . '/posts/default';
$entry = $gdClient->newEntry();
$entry->title = $gdClient->newTitle($title);
$entry->content = $gdClient->newContent($content);
$entry->content->setType('text');
$createdPost = $gdClient->insertEntry($entry, $uri);
$idText = split('-', $createdPost->id->text);
$newPostID = $idText[2];
return $newPostID;
}
More information about the Blogger API can be found here:

If you don't have the necessary skills to create a PHPBB Mod you can request a Mod by posting a request on the following PHPBB Forum:
