Connecting Hashnode lets MokonyxSocial turn your Joomla articles into blog posts on your Hashnode publication automatically — title, body, and cover image included.
What you need
- A Hashnode account with a blog (Hashnode calls it a "publication") already set up.
- You should be the owner or an admin of that blog.
- One access token from Hashnode, which we'll grab together below.
Get your credentials
API Token api_token (required)
This is a personal key that lets MokonyxSocial post to your blog for you. Treat it like a password.
- Sign in at https://hashnode.com.
- Click your profile, then open Account Settings → Developer — or go straight there: https://hashnode.com/settings/developer
- Find Personal Access Tokens and click Generate New Token.
- Give it a name you'll recognize later, like
MokonyxSocial, and confirm. - Copy the token right away — Hashnode only shows it once. Paste it into the API Token box.
Lost it later? No problem — go back to that same page, delete the old one, and make a new token.
Publication ID publication_id (optional)
This just tells MokonyxSocial *which* blog to post to. If you only have one blog, you can leave it blank and we'll figure it out for you. Fill it in if you run more than one Hashnode blog and want to be sure posts land on the right one.
The easiest way to find it: open your blog's dashboard on Hashnode and look at the address bar / blog settings — the publication's ID is shown there. (If you're comfortable with Hashnode's API playground at https://gql.hashnode.com, running the me { publications } query lists each blog's ID and name.)
Set it up in MokonyxSocial
- In Joomla admin, go to Components → MokonyxSocial → Services → New.
- Choose Hashnode.
- Enter the credentials from the section above.
- Click Send Test to verify the connection, then Save & Close and ensure the service is Published.
Verify
- Send Test should come back with a green success message.
- Publish one of your Joomla articles, then open your Hashnode blog. Your new post should show up there within a moment.
Troubleshooting
- It says "unauthorized" — your token is wrong or was deleted. Make a fresh one at https://hashnode.com/settings/developer and paste it in again.
- It can't find your blog — the Publication ID is off. Leave it blank (if you have one blog) or re-copy it from your blog dashboard.
- The post shows up but the cover image is missing — make sure the article's image is public on your site so Hashnode can grab it.
- It complains the post already exists — you likely posted the same title before; tweak the title and try again.
Notes & limits
- Hashnode posts are written in a blog-style format, so very fancy page layouts may come out simpler than on your site.
- Anyone with your token can post to all your blogs, so keep it private.
- Avoid firing off lots of posts in a short burst — Hashnode may slow you down.
