For continuity of the thread, here is the code. I’m using the post-format type ‘video’ for my “live blog” type –only because I was using everything else for something else already. I don’t know if you need to do this, but it’s how I did it.
Email This:
Subject: video//12345
Body: Lorum Ipsum #img1# Content, Content, Content!
-------------
function check_live_blog($post) {
$format = get_post_format( $post['ID'] );
if ($format == 'video'){
$live_id = $post['post_title'];
$original_post_content = get_post_field('post_content', $live_id );
$updated_live = "<BR/><strong>".$post['post_date']."</strong><BR/><BR/>".$post['post_content']."<BR/>".$original_post_content;
$live_post = array('ID' => $live_id, 'post_content' => $updated_live);
wp_update_post( $live_post );
$email_post = array('ID' => $post['ID'], 'post_status' => 'trash');
wp_update_post( $email_post );
}
return $post;
}
add_filter('postie_post_after', 'check_live_blog');
