Firefox just blogit extension

[PENorwood]

Hi,

I have read with interest the attempts to get FLock and other blog utilities to connect to s9y. I installed the xml-rpc plugin and it seems that Flock does indeed auto-detect the blog. However it errors out when you enter in the username and password to access the blog.

If you need more info let me know.

Thanks

What does "error out" mean?

And is your server by any chance running PHP/CGI? Because in the last case, the error was because the XML-RPC PEAR Class died when trying to send HTTP-Headers!

The solution was to edit the file serendipity_event_xmlrpc/PEAR/XML/RPC/Server.php in line 395 and remove the call:

Code: Select all

        header($this->server_headers);

Actually I found the problem ... somehow some of the files in the plugin were corrupted upon upload and it connects and edits very well!

The only issue now is probably a flock one. When I publish an entry it correctly publishes on the blog but flock tells me that it can't publish since the site apears to be offline and saves it as a draft locally.

Thanks!

That'S strange - I've never had such a flock problem! In fact it does often save my entries as drafts; but not locally, it does transfer it to the blog.

HTH,

I'm trying to set up flock but it gives me an error after I enter my username and pass word. xmlrpc.php gives me the following...

Code: Select all

faultCode 103 faultString XML error: no element found at line 1

Which version of the XMLRPC plugin are you using?

1.12 downloaded through Spartacus.

[garvinhicking]

Did you ever try any other XMLRPC client like Ecto or flickr and did that work?

Maybe if you can set me up a author account on your blog (mail it privately) I can try it here on my system...

I tried w.bloggar and couldn't get that to work either. I'll mail you yojur login. Thanks Garvin.

[Trench]

Sent the info through PM.

[garvinhicking]

I could use w.bloggar using the "Custom -> Metaweblog API" protocols to your blog, so the XMLRPC is basically seeming to work.

I am sorry, but the XMLRPC things are harder to debug, because every piece of software does it a bit differently, and I'm too short on time to investigate this more deeply. I can only say that using Flock in a version from 2 months ago worked flawless here on my system...

Thanks for your time Garvin. I'll have to try w.bloggar again.

Sorry for raising back an old topic. But searching around didn't get me anything useful. I am looking for a method to connect to my blog, running in serendipity 1.1.2, with BloGTK.
My username and password were right. I tried all the API's. I set the Server URL as http://blog.mehulved.com/serendipity_xmlrpc.php
But, I get error when trying to connect. Has anything changed, or is there any other client on linux that can connect?

Hi!

Which version of the XMLRPC plugin are you using?

In recent s9y versions, the index.tpl template has changed to support autodetection for some XMLRPC clients, you might want to try that.

I will test lateast version on my PC and give you the feedback.
I tried with 1.3.1 on my PC, it still errs out with BloGTK and drivel. Tried all API's.
