# WordPress to HFR (forum.hardware.fr) converter
## Still plenty of work to do, really ugly in some places

A `flask` route that does the following:

- Receive webhooks from WordPress.
- Convert the WordPress blogpost's HTML into BBcode.
- Post the resulting BBcode to an HFR topic.

## Setup
- WordPress must be set up to send the hook `publish_post` with fields `post_content`, `post_name`, and `post_url` to the URL defined by your network setup. Go to [https://<your-blog.wordpress.com>/wp-admin](https://<your-blog.wordpress.com>/wp-admin) `> Settings > Webhooks`.
- This is packaged as a Docker container meant to be used together with the [Letsencrypt nginx proxy companion](https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion). This could easily be adjusted to run on a [GCP Cloud Function](https://cloud.google.com/functions/). WordPress doesn't require `https` so this could also easily run as a standalone service at home without much setup.
- Look through source files for extra info.

## What works, what doesn't
- Simple HTML tags should all work (note: this is HFR-centric, HFR doesn't support a number of BBcode tags, hence the questionable translation table compared with other BBcode implementations).
- The code is ugly in some places and might explode anytime.
- Colours are not supported yet.

## Be careful of...
- HFR's agressive anti-spam. Possibly a good idea to adjust the code to not post when doing tests, or edit a post (instead of posting). To edit: modify `POST` to `/bdd.php` and pass a `numreponse` arg to `payload` with a post that belongs to you.
