importer and xpost

[skakri]

Hello, I'd like to know if there is any documentation regarding content importing from LJ-based site (AFAIK, old version, circa "07) and cross-post setup steps? How should I define a new external site?

I'm currently using jbackup.pl + LJ::Simple mash-up, but that won't work in the long run, as even if entry backdate is set, users still receive messages of a new posts, if they're subscribed.

I assume you mean an LJ-based site that's not one of the preconfigured ones? I don't know that there's a way to do imports from those, but you should be able to set up crossposting. When you set up your new External Site, choose Site 'Other Site', Custom Service Type 'lj', Custom Service Name (something appropriate), and Custom Service URL 'http://your.site.url/interface/xmlrpc'. Should work with any not-incredibly-ancient LJ-based site.
