wpidentity v0.5.4

wpIdentity

A package that implements OAuth identity and a simple verb set with wordpress.com for Node.js apps.

It works

You can try it out here.

You can log on, and see a list of your sites, when each was created and modified.

Here's a screen shot.

How to set up a server

1. Download the folder.

2. Throw away everything but the shell folder. In the shell folder you can throw away source.opml.

3. Move the shell folder to your server.

4. Edit the config.json file with the credentials you got from WordPress.com.

5. npm install

6. node wpidentity.js

7. If you want to use the storage feature, you'll need to set up the database.

History
