Tumblingjazz Documentation

The scrape tab allows you to perform any scrape / search and save the result to a file. The results will be saved to your Saved Data directory, found by the menu item HELP > SAVED

You can perform the default searches used on the action tabs and build a custom search. All searches can have a filter applied and the number of results wanted specified.

TumJazz provides a few scrapers that allow you to scrape images to your hard drive. The provided methods are:

• Tumblr recent image scrape
• Tumblr popular image scrape
• Download all images from a tumblr blog
• Pinterest scraper

To scrape images, select the method in the list on the left, enter the search term / URL (depends on scrape type) and specify a save directory.

Additional options include

The react module allows you to detect new followers to your account and then action on them, or "react" to them as it were. The reactions you can perform are:

• Follow back
• Like users posts
• Send a chat message

A module that allows you to track what you account has been doing. Simply select your account and how often you want to scrape your stats (24 hours is probably the value you want - don't over do it). The most recent stats will be viewable in the accounts control, but clicking the View Stats button you will see all stats ever scraped for the account allowing you to track the followers / followings of your account along with posts made, actions performed in the previous 24 hours before the stats were scraped and much more. For those of you who want to do more stats analysis the stats can all be exported to CSV (or a date defined section of) for importing into any spreadsheet tool of your choice (excel, calc etc)

TumJazz can use RSS feeds to find content (images, videos, audio, text, links) and post them to automatically to Tumblr. All RSS posting modules work in a similar way. Specify your RSS feed, specify how to extract the data from the feed and set content specific parameters.

Posting content from RSS is similar to posting the same content from a folder / file on your local with regards to the basic settings. Meaning the upload images options are the same as post image from RSS feed. The only difference is:

• Assign RSS meta

TumJazz allows you to upload videos from your hard drive to your tumblr blog.

There are two methods to upload videos

1. Upload From folder
2. Upload from Meta File

Upload Videos from Folder

In the input box, specify the folder of your video files to upload and click the Import button. This will import the videos to the video list control

To set the meta data using the standard TumJazz tokenised meta control, click the Assign Meta button.

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.

There are two ways to add text content to post to tumblr.

1. load from a directory
2. Add the article manually

<tags>tag1,tag2,tag3,tag4</tags>

<title>How to create a {tumbler|blog} {Article|} on %kw%</title>

<stub>{kw1|kw2|kw3|kw|kw5}-{kw1|kw2|kw3|kw|kw5}-%kw%</stub>

<url>http://source-url.com/urlsource.html</url>

The keywords element can be used for tokens in any other section, such as %kw% for a random keyword, %kw1% for kw1 etc
<keywords>kw1,kw2,kw3,kw4<keywords>

The following posting sections all work in a similar way:

• youtube
• audio
• links

You provide a file path of links to the content (youtube URL, audio URL, website URL) where the filepath can just be a list of the content URL or include the meta, assign the meta (if required) and click the Post button

When you post an image to Tumblr, before the image is uploaded to tumblr it can be syndicated to your wordpress or blogger sites. The URL of the page containing the image on your wordpress / blogger blogs can then be used in your tumblr posts.

This allows you to squeeze the user off of tumblr to sites you control where there are no rules on marketing external products.

Example. You could specify to reduce the quality and size of the image published to tumblr with a description "View full size and quality image here <your syndicated URL>"
