Is anyone still reading this? What happened to the SweetCron community? If SC (or its fork, lifepress) isn't being developed anymore, what are my options for exporting the 3000+ articles out of my current site to something like wordpress?
Hey, brand new SweetCron user here... Does anyone have a copy of the "teh blog are (not) dead" theme? The only download link I can find -- http://mawsh.com/labs... -- no longer works : (
I thought it was pretty cool when I found out the United States Department of State had choosen to use open source lifestreaming service Sweetcron to power a collective Haiti news site.

For many people this change makes sense; if your looking to have a blog, Posterous is for blogging, Sweetcron is for lifestreaming. For me Sweetcron is still the way to go. At the moment I'm not writing a lot of original content, so a blog isn't for me. I do however post on a lot of various social networks. Sharing relevant information I find to friendfeed, twitter etc. For those who don't use those services, but still want to stay informed on that information, they go to my site (running sweetcron) or follow my RSS for that category of my site.

Having troubles getting SweetCron working how I'd imagined. I'm trying to use the "teh blog ar (not) dead" theme, but my blog posts aren't being seperated into the top blog section properly.. No idea how to go about fixing this yet..
It's at - http://stream.adamdodson.org - Hoping to import adamdodson.org/feed and have it show up in the top blog section.. Also, the "more info" link doesn't slide down in chrome, but works in firefox..

Adds a map when you write a note or check-in on Brightkite. If you post a photo it will post that photo instead of a map.

Uses a search in friendfeed on "service:friendfeed" so it doesn't grab all the other services. Besides that it's just a bunch of php string functions to clean up the RSS feed. Will share soon.

Cool thanks! I am looking for some developer to help my side project Twuoted.com, interested?
- Montana Flynn
Mitchell, any chance it's ready for public consumption? :-) I'd love to implement something like this.
- Allan Besselink
Hey guys, wrote a quick post on how to setup the plug-in to import from Friendfeed (but I haven't tested it on another account yet, so use at your own risk). Once I get a chance to test it, I'll post it in the official Sweetcron discussion board and let you know. http://mitchmckenna.com/blog...

Gotcha, thats what I thought. It's in there but still gives the 404. It's linking to an admin folder which doesn't exist. Do you think it might be host related? I'm using Bluehost.
- Roger @ CineVegas
Roger then you need to edit the .htaccess like haggis said.
- mjc
Michael, I've made the change to that file, but it still fails.
- Roger @ CineVegas
Rebkin, a space between slash and the word "admin"?
- Roger @ CineVegas
Didn't seem to fix it. What sort of read/write privileges should be on the sub-directory folder?
- Roger @ CineVegas
Had the same problem: switch uri_protocol setting to "AUTO"

Can I just say thanks so much for this...! Been looking all over the web for help/knew I'd done something simple & stupid!! Thanks Friendfeed for getting this response cached by Google! This is a great plug in (if you don't mind me getting a "plug in"!!) http://www.aldissandmore.com/sweetcr... ;)

My FriendFeed posts are copied to Twitter and vice versa. Is there some way to eliminate the duplicate items in my SweetCron install? Having them listed twice seems redundant.
I have installed a wordpress blog in the root directory using the Fantastico. The problem with this being that WordPress is interfering with all the apps including phpbb or sweetcron that in install manually in sub directory. It is showing me 404 error. How can I keep the wordpress installation in root independent of other apps in sub directory?
It's a problem because Wordpress writes to .htaccess and this affects the entire directory structure underneath, so you might have to design your domain differently, maybe put the blog in /blog or blog.domain
- Andy Roberts
I agree with Andy - the best answer is to put the blog in a subdirectory and then create and index.htm that redirects to the page you want to start at - I assume the wordpress blog
- Robert Davies
You don't necessarily need to put Wordpress in a subdirectory - you just need to manually specify handling for the other subdirectories in the Wordpress-provided .htaccess file - lots of good tutorials show how to do this.

Has anyone else taken a look at chi.mp ? It appears to have a lot of the features that are possible with a Sweetcron site, but in a hosted model. - http://chi.mp
What's up everyone! I just started playing with Sweetcron what you guys think so far? http://lifestream.madebysash.com [Still lots to do but would love idea's!]
So we've got a ninja platform, loads of plugins, awesome themes and
sites, an API and a multiuser version - what's next? - http://groups.google.com/group...
We need a plugin repository. I've been working integrating sites like brightkite, netflix, etc and I keep thinking that someone else probably has already developed these.
I do have a great domain for that job sweetcronplugins.com .. if you can send your plugin files to me, I'll put them on that domain name.. mail me : ozan [at] creasoup . com

FYI - solution for this is to run the feed through feedburner, you can go in to the db, add it by hand and make sure the favicon and everything is all set up properly
- Jackie Peters
I also needed to setup feedburner to simplify the feed, or Sweetcron didn't want to add it. Afterwards, I created a small google maps script to show my location on maps. http://inkh.net
