Reblog

../images/reblog.png

The reblog tab allows you to create reblog actions.

Standard Search Action Parameters

Random Pause:

Specify a minimum and maximum value, after actioning an item the action will pause for a random amount between the specified minimum and maximum values.

Max Actions / Max items:

The number of items to process within the action.

Fluctuate +-:

If you are repeating your action, you may not want to action on the the same number of items each action (avoiding footprints, so you can fluctuate the number of items to perform. If you specify 100 Max Actions and a Fluctuate value of 10. Then your action will random perform 90-110 items (100 +/- 10)

Time period:

The time period control will pre-populate the random pause values based on the MAX ACTIONS value that will be calculated at actioning the items evenly over the specified time period. For example, specify the action to have a Max Actions value of 100 and set Time Period to 1 day. That means, do 100 items over 24 hours, thus the random pause will be calculated at 864 seconds.

Repeat Hours + after checkbox:

Once the action has completed, wait the specified hours then repeat. Set it to 24 to repeat every day, set it to 12 to repeat twice a day etc. The checkbox "after" means the time is added on after the action completes. Unchecking the option means it is added on to when the action starts. So if the action starts at 0900 and completes at 0930. If your repeat hours value is 1, then with after checked the action starts again at 1030 (1 hour after it completed, with after NOT checked, the action repeats at 1000, an hour after it started

Schedule / Daily Runner

Using the schedule control you can specify when your action should run. The other scheduling option is Daily Runner. This will make sure the action runs at the same time every day. eg. Daily Runner 2pm. At 2pm (14:00) the action will start, then on completion schedule itself for 2pm / 1400 the next day

Share Across Accounts

Typically, the action will be created using one account to process the specified items. However, by bulk selecting accounts and checking this option, you can have the selected accounts share the items to be processed. eg you specify 100 items and select 10 accounts and check SHARE ACROSS ACCOUNTS. Then each account will process 10 items. More information in the Share across accounts section. If you select multiple accounts to perform the action, but DO NOT check this option, then each account will process all items, i.e. they will duplicate the items. When performing a Share Across Accounts action, then all accounts within the action will be aware of what the other accounts processed and will log this as if they processed the item, meaning in future actions the accounts will never re-process any items processed by any other account from the shared action

Unique Items Per Account / Action once

This option will ensure you do not reprocess the same items. So if you are performing a follow action, once you have followed an account you will never follow that account again, even if you have unfollowed them since. This also works for items processed by other accounts within a Share across accounts action and any items logged in a global processed log (for information on global processed logs, please see the revelevant section)

Assign Meta

../images/meta_reblog.png

When you perform a reblog on tumblr you can set various meta data regarding your reblog, you can specify this data by clicking the Assign meta button.

../images/meta_reblog_form.png

The Assign Meta form allows you to specify randomised Tags and Description for your post. The control is a TumJazz standard keyword token form you will use throughout the program and will allow spintax and tokens to be used for all values.

The inputs on the left are your meta values and the list input on the right is for your keywords. The meta inputs all can take the %kw% token. This token will be replaced by a random keyword that you specify in the keywords box on the right (one keyword per line). Additionally, for more control of what keywords to use, you can also use tokens %kw1% %kw2% and those specific keywords will be replaced

Tumblr Schedule

Check this option and your post will be sent to Tumblr straight away, but it will be scheduled by Tumblr to post at the specified time. Unchecked and the action will be scheduled to run in TumJazz at the specified time

Queue Reblogs

Your reblogs will be queued by Tumblr and dripped to your blog based on your Tumblr Queue settings (these can be edited via the Update Accounts tab in TumJazz

Remove Original Description

When you reblog a post, the original description of the post will be removed

Original Posts Only

You will only reblog original posts, not reblogs. Check this and you will NOT reblog reblogs
