Posterous Textmate Bundle

A Textmate bundle that allows users to create and update to the Posterous blog directly from Textmate. It uses the Posterous REST API. For more information see: http://apidocs.posterous.com/.

Installation

Install the bundle by checking out the git repo to your Bundles directory:

$ git clone [email protected]:jarrettgossett/Posterous.tmbundle.git ~/Library/Application\ Support\Textmate/Bundles/

This bundle relies on the ruby gem HTTParty: http://httparty.rubyforge.org/. To install it:

$ sudo gem install httparty

Or you can download/checkout the repo and double-click on the tmbundle file which should load it as a bundle in Textmate automatically.

Setup

The bundle relies on a file created in your home directory, ~/.posterous

Create the file and in it put:

username: [email protected]
password: your_posterous_password
api_token: your_api_token (Avialable at: ???????)
site: a_site_id (Optional, leave blank if you only want to use a site other than your primary site)

Usage

Posting a document

To create a post from a document, simply open a document and execute the key command (defaults to ⌘⇧P) and it will automatically send the post. Please note the document must be saved before it can be posted.

Posting a selection

If you wish to post a selection, simply execute the key combination ⌘⇧P with a portion of code selected.

Adding metadata/options

Adding colon separated values to the top of a document and the bundle will treat them as options for your blog post.

ID: id_of_post (Only if it is an existing post)
TITLE: The title of the post
TAGS: some, example, tags, comma, delimited
DISPLAY_DATE: 01/01/69

The tab trigger "pmeta" will automatically insert all available options.

Getting a post

To pull down an already created post:

  • Create a new Textmate document.
  • Paste in the post's id and highlight it
  • Press ⌘⌥⇧P

Updating a post

Any post submitted with an ID option will be updated rather than created.
