Serendipity Forums

I have heard good things about this and set it up last night.
Added the plugin and the code line

http://rackjite.com/serendipity_xmlrpc.php

It looks like everything works, you hit publish, the categories and such are in the program, and it gets into the blog okay, but nothing is actually posted.

I have always had a mental disconnect with the difference between true and realitive paths

Does that path have to be exactly where that file is? which would be

http://rackjite.com/plugins/serendipity ... xmlrpc.php

And now that I have installed Live Writer I cant seem to get back to where that line of code is used.

Thanx

I can't help with the rest of the Live Writer problems as I don't use Live Writer but url-wise you do want the first URL, not the second one.

I assume you did check that your post didn't end up as a draft?

Thanx, that is what I thought...

The new Serendipity version 1.6.1 that I downloaded does not come with the serendipity_event_xmlrpc bundled in the plugins folder.

When I first copied the serendipity_xmlrpc.php file into the root of my blog folder, Windows LiveWriter simply would not make a successful connection. When I typed the url directly, with the serendipity_xmlrpc.php, I got a text message in my browser saying that it was no longer bundled with serendipity, and that it wasn't used very much before.

Luckily, I have two or three previous serendipity blogs, as I have been using serendipity for quite a few years. So, I copied the serendipity_event_xmlrpc folder from the plugins folder of another blog, and copied it into the plugins folder in my new v. 1.6.1 Serendipity.

Now, in the Admin console, the option to add the event plugin appears, and I can install it the proper way.

Alas, no matter which custom blog option I use in LiveWriter, mindful that I'm supposed to enter the http://www.mydomain.com/serendipity/ser ... xmlrpc.php as the API URL, LiveWriter continues to give me the :

"Can't connect to the blog service
Invalid Server Response - The response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method received from the blog server was invalid:
Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server
Please try fixing the problem and then try again.

B.T.W., I have Word 2010. In Word, like in LiveWriter, you can post to a blog. My Word connects to my other Serendipity blog sites no problem. Right now I am downloading an older version of Serendipity, and I will try that. This is a real pain, as any blog writing software is better than the WYSIWYG editor that comes stock with Serendipity. This lack of Word and LiveWriter support is regressive, not progressive.

Yes, this plugin is part of our external plugin repository, spartacus.s9y.org - that's where you can download it.

Then the serendipity_xmlrpc.php should properly work (it's just a stub for the plugin to work on it)

You should try to download that plugin in a recent version, which I think people reported working for windows live writer.

*Gleep!* *Gleep! *Gleep!*
Installing the serendipity_xmlrpc 1.5 did the trick. Very cool. LiveWriter wouldn't download the blog themes, though. That might be another issue.

Thank you!

Gregory

Downloading "themes" is not implemented in the XMLRPC plugin as there was no demand for this feature yet.
