The plugin could for example read the RSS feed, and post the content from the recent Bitbucket commits into a new post on the WordPress website.
Up till now i use a syndication tool (FeedWordPress) to do this, however since it is not specifically build for this purpose (it more for syndication of news-articles) it is only semi-working, and the posts need some editing after syndication in order to look good.
Example: http://kamaradski.com/category/tech/arma-3/t-a
What i would be looking for in such a functionality:
Post title = commitcode + first line of commitmessage
– insert Link to Bitbucket commit
– Post content & exerpt = commit message
— read more —
– Extended content = files changed over view
– Optional: maybe the file-diff of the commit
Any links in the original commit, should also be available in the wordpress post (Smart-commit links to Jira issues & file links to the changed files)
For people that have different repo’s there should be the option to post the syndicated commits into a separate post category (for example see how it is setup on kamaradski.com) This could be done by filtering the posts in the rss-feed of a Bitbucket user/team, or maybe the option to watch several different rss-feeds, 1 for each repo (this last option should also catch commits unrelated to the specific Bitbucket user.
Post date, should be commit-date&time
Ability to run syndication on regular intervals for example with the use of cron.
Here is a example of how such post could look like: http://kamaradski.com/2292/018e8c7-ta-17-comment-added-server-client-countdown-script
So i hope this write-up makes it a little clearer what i had in mind. It’s just an idea that i think many people will be able to appreciate as there is currently not an existing solution that would not require manual intervention for each post. And it is just that, an idea, not a request.
I realize this is a lot of work and slightly out of scope of what your plugin is currently doing, so i really do not mind if you decide not to take this onboard in your existing plugin. But i do think this would make your plugin the most complete WordPress-Bitbucket link available today.
