Posting entries with a Windows Mobile phone

I have a Windows Mobile phone and tried doing a test post with it and it gave me an iframe error and didn't save the entry. Do I need to do what is going on in this discussion: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=8587 or is there another way? All I want to do is post small text entries and possibly not putting them off to the sidebar.

Well it looks like I'll just go with the emailing a post solution. It's simple enough.

Hi!

I recently got myself a windows mobile phone, so chances are I'll be trying it quite soon to make s9y support it

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi! I'm reactivating this thread because I'm also a windows mobile user (htc diamond) and searching for an easy way to post entries without using my opera mobile browser. I've found some solutions for wordpress and others but nothing works with s9y.

Edit: I've found PocketSharp MT. This is works for movabletype and AFAIK wordpress but I couldn't get it to work because I don't know wich settings to be done. Maybe some else has an idea?
Edit#2: Sorry once more

The source code has also been added to www.codeplex.com on http://www.codeplex.com/sharpmt

Here are some thoughts what I would need for something like that:

1. Choosing profiles to support multiple Blogs.
2. Recognizes customfields-plugin to edit them inside the tool
3. Predefine date when entry should be published (now or later)
4. Should the entry be draft or published
5. Image/file upload from phone to mediadatabase?
(6. maybe recognizes all other entry-related plugins like tags, ...)

Any programmers here?

I hope I can also get some of the programmers of xda-developers into that.
I'll post results here if there are any.

Greetings, Lordcoffee

I've found one more app wich could be interesting for that:

Diarist2

But same here, don't know what to do for the settings. I tried using Generic MetaWeblog and used the http://www.mydomain.de/blog/serendipity_xmlrpc.php but it doesn't seem to work. I think I really don't know what to do here

The Serendipity XML-RPC plugin supports MetaWeblog, MovableType, and Blogger APIs. I believe the URL you've specified above is the correct one.

In short, it should work with the settings you've got. If it doesn't, try the other APIs. Enable logging in your application to see what Serendipity's sending back, and why it isn't working. (It would certainly help if we could figure out exactly what's going wrong.)

Hi judebert!

I treid the settings in Diarist2 and pocketsharp MT and there are several Probs:

pocketsharp MT shuts down when trying to connect to the settings I made with an errormessage wich I can't copy from windows mobile.

Diarist2 sais after a long time that there's a failure connecting to my site. Diarist2 has the option to "find the API but when I use this it also crashes

Do you have the possibility to use a windows mobile phone?
If not not here's a windows mobile emulator for PC. Maybe you have the time to test it?
EDIT: You also would need a windows mobile professional image to test it

Here it is!

Greetings, lordcoffee

I downloaded them, but they require Windows, which I don't have here.

I'll try it again when I'm at a Windows machine, but that'll be at least 6PM EST. I may not get to try it until tomorrow.

I'm testing here and found out that you only need the second link "this one" and after installing you choose the standalone images from startmenu/all programs/Windows Mobile 6 SDK/Standalone Images/(language)/(imagetype) (*.*)=whatever image you've choosen.

I used windows mobile 6 Professional because this one is installled in my HTC-Diamond (VGA).

Thanks in advance!

I installed the USA version of the Standard emulator. I got it working, but it wouldn't run Diarist2.

I'll try again with the professional version, but that's all I could accomplish last night.
