    bloggar for joomla

    XML-RPC allow other programs to interact with the backend of your publishing system.
    In practical terms, You can post an entry to a Metaweblog API-compatible site from
    an external program!

    Using such tool has a lot of advantages:

    • Post and Publish on most blogs/cms, one tool to rule them all
    • Edit Posts and Templates without timeout, browser crash ;-)
    • Save Posts locally for further publishing,
    • Import Text files,
    • Add links and images, more complex formatting
    • Format text font and alignment faster,
    • Multiple accounts and blogs supported in one tools
    • Post/visualize preview
    • Colorized HTML code
    • Find/Replace option
    • Post to many blogs at the same time!
    • Spell Checking
    • File and Image Upload

    Back to joomla! There is a lot of API to interact with Joomla: XML-RPC, Blogger and MetaWeblog API.

    The MetaWeblog API, is an application programming interface created by Dave Winer that enables blog entries to be written, edited, and deleted using client software or web services.
    The API is implemented as an XML-RPC web service with three methods whose names describe their function: metaweblog.newPost(), metaweblog.getPost() and metaweblog.editPost(). These methods take arguments that specify the blog author's username and password along with information related to an individual weblog entry (also called a "post."). [from wikipedia]

    For Joomla 1.5 you can use Metaweblog API, which can be dwonloaded here: download MetaWeblog API at JoomlaCode The latest version that has work for me is the version 0.9. Working yes but with some limitations, you can't for example put any pictures in your post. Movable API is another 3rd party plugin developed in japan by Jomler!.net exist for both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla! 1.5 (Metaweblog plugin for Joomla). Movable API is much more powerful than Metaweblog, but I did not succeed in making it running

    Setting Joomla 1.5 for XMLRPC

    Go to global System settings, and enable Web Services

    Install the plugin using the Plugin manager, and do not forget to publish it

    joomla plugin manager

    Then you'll need a client software running locally:

    Linux

    Windows

    Lets look at the installation of some of them...

    w.Bloggar

    Download w.Bloggar and install it, the first start of w.Bloggar will pop up this windows:


    02.bloggar.for.joomla.gif
    03.bloggar.for.joomla.gif

    04.bloggar.for.joomla.gif

    06.bloggar.for.joomla.gif

    How this article look like in w.Bloggar





    Windows Live Writer 2008

    Can be download free of charge at http://writer.live.com

    Small, fast, has a lot of features and plugins, but run only in windows. Be careful during installation and read carefully all step to no get floaded by Microsoft services (set homepage to live, install messenger, install x and y)

    live.writer.menubar.gif

    live.writer.add.weblog.account.gif

    live.writer.select.other.gif

    live.writer.enter.login.gif

    live.writer.select.provider.gif

    And voila You can now list categories and publish your entries usig live writer.

    Dave Spathaky  - Thanks and worrking with Scribefire too |195.189.181.xxx |2008-04-13 18:22:24
    I managed to configure my new install of Joomla 1.5 to work with Scribefire.
    Thanks very much for the walk-through, it helped.

    Just one point: You can of course post photos via this system if they are just
    links to images already on the web some place. (a drag and drop in ScribeFire)

    I hope to write up my detailed instructions on http://www.blog.beara.ie any day soon.

    All the best Dave
