Title pretty much says it all. Blogs are under the same account. Asked this question on Quora with little response.
I'm looking for perhaps a web app, which automates the process. If there isn't anything already out there, I'm ready to build my own web app using Tumblr's API.
Take a look at this post describing for detailed explanation of moving data from one Tumblr to another http://vinylanswer.tumblr.com/post/42009904333/how-to-turn-your-secondary-tumblr-blog-into-your

I am new to Chrome App development. I was going to create a simple RSS reader as a helloworld project, but now, after reading docs, I am not sure that this is possible. The problem is, by the Content Security Policy for Chrome Apps it is forbidden to use domain in url_handlers without proving that this is your domain.
It makes retrieving RSS from sites impossible.
But there are references to some sandbox technology in the docs, and Chrome Apps can use low-level sockets. Can I somehow use it to get RSS from any site?
This question is difficult to answer because its topic is so broad.
But to answer if it's possible. Yes it is possible. You'll see that there are already RSS reader applications out there, go and check the webstore and even "reverse engineer" them to study it up if you want.
I also did some RSS reader for a few clients before.
I hope I can give you sample codes to you now but its better if you start looking into main documentation and sample apps.
You should read on XHR to access pages
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/xhr
You may encounter a lot issues in tackling this project.
You need to consider that websites may load slow and your app should provide some UI for loading and some timeout to give up after a few seconds.
Webpages will redirect, so you should handle if you are going to follow it or not
Sometimes link is 404, or sometimes its not XML
You need to cache things, you may need servers help for this
It's a tough project to do but don't get discouraged.
It is still a fun and challenging one and you should go for it still!
Have fun coding!
yea, the title pretty much sums it up. Is it allowed for an app to access ressources on api-v2.soundcloud.com?
Is there any documentation for it?
Relevant since I'm currently working on a soundcloud app and I just recognized that most of the calls on the websites itself are done with api-v2. The responses from the server would be extremly helpful to build some kind of infinite streaming which is the feature I like most about soundcloud.com.
I cant speak for SoundCloud, but gryzzly (a former SoundCloud engineer) stated in a previous answer:
Letting you know, that using undocumented APIs is not going in line with the our developers’ Terms of Use.
We're building a piece of functionality that will require approval for users to mention friends in posts from our app.
It's quite a complex piece of development and we're not 100% sure if Facebook will approve it, so rather than spend ages coding it only for it to be rejected by Facebook we're looking for a 'leaner' approach and wondered, is it possible to describe our concept and the action in question (in slides and description paragraph) to see if they approve it in principle first? Then obviously we'd have to build the full version of it for them to approve it for use.
Anybody got any experience of this?
First, describe your features in the official Facebook Developers group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fbdevelopers/
If you don´t get any good answer, you may need to create a prototype with basic functionality. Design implementation is irrelevant, just create the part that´s relevant for review and explain what you want to do with videos and screenshots. It must be functional though.
I help out at a local soup kitchen, and they are wanting to create a website. Most of their criteria are pretty simple, they want to be able to have a calendar, post pictures, and have a blog. However they also want to be able to manage volunteer's. They want to be able to post a event, have a list of jobs that they need volunteer's for that event, and allow people to sign up for the jobs. I would like to base this website on a well known platform like DotNetNuke, WordPress, or Drupal. Before I go and code my own plugin for managing volunteers I decided to see if I could find a platform that already has a module available. So far I have not been able to find anything. Has anybody heard of one or used one in the past? I would appreciate any suggestions.
There's a whole range of ways to do this, but I haven't ever seen a dedicated solution (plugin or otherwise).
On the one hand, a blog could do all that you're asking. Posting pictures and blog entries? That's wordpress all over. Want a calendar? We have a plugin for that. Want to let volunteers sign up for stuff? Let them post comments.
On the other hand, the problem you're describing isn't unique: In my own experience I've wanted the software you describe. May I suggest that, if you have the time, you make something totally awesome for the volunteer community?
Our company, Wired Impact, recently released a plugin called Wired Impact Volunteer Management that provides exactly the functionality you're looking for. You can learn more and download the plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wired-impact-volunteer-management/.
I have a web site I'm building and the client wants to have features from vBulletin (blog, forums) integrated into the site. Its not enough to simply add the sites skin to vBulletin. Is there a way to do this?
I would expect there to be documentation on how, if it is possible, to do such a thing but haven't been able to find anything.
I'd rather not connect and query the vBulletin database directly.
There is no proper API for this yet, so you'd either have to rely on things like RSS, or query the database directly. RSS won't get you old data, nor any forum structures, etc. just basics of new data.
After much research (see: cursing) I've found that external.php and blog_external.php do what I want though not quite as elegantly as I would like.
So if you want to incorporate forum threads into your web page then external.php is what you need. It appears to be a bit more customizable in that you can have it output in JavaScript, XML, RSS, and RSS Enclosure (podcasting).
If you want to incorporate blog posts you appear to be limited to RSS only. Like I said, less than ideal but at least its something.
