A Service which synchronizes Wordpress blog posts with MyCoRe mods objects. This is the server part. For visualization you can use the WordpressImporterGUI.

• blog - the url to the WordPress instance
• repository - the url to the mycore instance
• parentObject - the id of the object to which all blogpost will be appended
• postTemplate - a file name or path relative to the .wpimport folder which contains a mods.xml template.
• username - the username for the mycore restapi
• password - the password for the mycore restapi
• license - the license which will be used for all posts. Can be a string or an object with the following properties:
  • label - the label of the license
  • logoURL - the url to the license logo
  • URL - the url to the license
  • classID - the class id of the license (mods:classificiation/@authority=)

Database

To check which wordpress post already has a mycore object, all childen of the parentObject will be loaded with the mycore restapi and all posts will be loaded with the wordpress restapi. Then every post which url is not found in a mycore object can be imported.

To load all MyCoRe objects and posts the service needs like 30 minutes. So i decided to save them in a small json based file in the configuration folder and only update new ones. The files are named: mycoredb_$hostname.json and blogdb_$hostname.json
