About this plugin - top

This plugin will allow you to build from scratch an autoblogging system, based on Odnoklassniki feeds you define (pages or public groups). This plugin provides one solution to the ongoing search for new blog content. It not only provides a steady stream of rich, searchable content, it also helps to keep your website up to date with the latest news. You can build rules that will generate posts that are near to unique in website crawlers's eyes. They require none to very little customization.
The goal is to achieve the following:
OKomatic Automatic Post Generator will import items from any content from public Odnoklassniki groups or Odnoklassniki pages, you define to your blog. Resulting blog posts are fully customizable and rich in content. List of customizable stuff for each post:

post author user name
post status (published, draft, pending, private, trash)
automatically generate post categories or tags from Odnoklassniki posts
manually add post categories or tags to items
generate post or page
automatically generate a featured image for the post
enable/disable comments for the generated post
enable/disable pingbacks/trackbacks for the generated post
customize post title and content (with the included wide variaty of relevant post shortcodes)

Other plugin features:

Automatical Odnoklassniki Post generator every time you publish a new post to WordPress - you can publish to a selected Odnoklassniki wall, page, group or album (if you own them)
Google Translate support ' select the language in which you want to post your articles
Text Spinner support ' automatically modify generated text, changing words with their synonyms ' great SEO value!
Supports Odnoklassniki public groups and pages
Using Odnoklassniki API
Keyword Replacer (replace relevant keywords with your links)
Random sentence generator (relevant sentences - as you define them)
detailed plugin activity logging
scheduled rule runs

This plugin requires a Odnoklassniki API Aceess Token. How do I get one?

You will need to do the following to add new app on Odnoklassniki:

Register on Odnoklassniki and link an email to your account to receive emails with app data;

Obtain developer rights at https://ok.ru/devaccess

You have to set the 'List of permitted redirect_uri' parameter in the APP as:
"your_wp_root_url"/wp-admin/admin.php?page=okomatic_items_panel&ok_auth_done=true

You will get the api key, application key and application secret to your email address. Copy them into the plugin and click 'Authorize' in one of the plugin's settings pages.

How to work with 'Random Sentence Generator'?

You can use the Random Sentence Generator by inserting list of sentences to the 'First List of Possible Sentences (%%random_sentence%%)' text field. Here, you can add full sentences, or sentences with variables. Variables are structured as: %something. A possible list of sentences can be:

Meet this %adjective %noun %sentence_ending
This is the %adjective %noun ever%sentence_ending
I %love_it %nouns , because they are the %adjective %sentence_ending
My %family says this plugin is very %adjective %sentence_ending
These %nouns are quite %adjective %sentence_ending

You can define variables in the 'List of Possible Variables:' textfield. Here you can define values to variables, values which will be used in the random sentence forming. Variables can be defined as follows:

variable_name1 => variable_value1;variable_value2;variable_value3

variable_name2 => variable2_value1;variable2_value2;variable2_value3

You can also use variables in variable definition. Example:

noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun

An example of variable definition:

adjective_very => %adjective;very %adjective;

adjective => clever;interesting;smart;huge;astonishing;unbelievable;nice;adorable;beautiful;elegant;fancy;glamorous;magnificent;helpful;awesome

noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun

noun => plugin;WordPress plugin;item;ingredient;component;constituent;module;add-on;plug-in;addon;extension

nouns => plugins;WordPress plugins;items;ingredients;components;constituents;modules;add-ons;plug-ins;addons;extensions

love_it => love;adore;like;be mad for;be wild about;be nuts about;be crazy about

family => %adjective %family_members;%family_members

family_members => grandpa;brother;sister;mom;dad;grandma

sentence_ending => .;!;!!

These random sentences can be used in post titles or post content, by adding the %%random_sentence%% or %%random_sentence2%% shortcode.
