I know how to post projects on other sites using the Embed link, but is it possible to add the project notes, title, and love-it buttons too? I don't think you can, but if it is an ability someone at my programming level can handle, please let me know!

It is, just let me check.

Look at this:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/expandDescription/PROJECTIDHERE/0

To find the project id:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/USERNAMEHERE/PROJECTIDHERE

You'll still have to parse it, though. Do you want me to do that?

Also, for the love-it button, it's currently an AJAX request at http://projecturl/loveit that returns the text "I love it!" or "Love it?" (depending on the current state).

By the way, I'm working on a PHP script to get this data. Give me, maybe, 5 more minutes.

Do you have a web server that supports a language called PHP?

Uh...can TRocket help you with the rest. I gotta leave.

TRocket, I've written a PHP script that has a variable for the project id and prints out some data. Can you assist ArtyArtArt679234 in installing and running it. Here is my script:

Code:

<?php
$values = array();
$projectID = 2224068;
$contents = file_get_contents("http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/expandDescription/".$projectID."/0");
$explosion = explode(":", $contents);
$i = 0;
foreach($explosion as $exploded){
    $explo = strip_tags($exploded);
    if($i != 4){
        $explo = explode("\n",$explo);
        $explo = $explo[0];
    }
    if($i == 2){
        $explo = explode("|",$explo);
        $explo = $explo[0];
    }
    if($i == 3){
        $explo = preg_replace('/[a-z](?=\d)|\d(?=[a-z])/i', '$0|', $explo);  
        $explo = explode('|',$explo);
        $explo = str_replace("\n","<br/>",$explo[0]);
    }
    //$explo = $explo[0];
    if($i != 0){
        //echo $i.": ".$explo."\n";
        $values[] = $explo;
    }
    ++$i;
}

echo "This project was created by ".$values[0].". It has ".$values[1]." views and ".$values[2]." love-its. This is it's project description.<br/><br/>".$values[3];
?>

Can something be done with the project notes, too? If not I could just add the description.

I thought the xml:http request only works if it is on the same host as the script.

The server is where you are hosting your website. Does it support PHP?
