Has anyone had any luck with getting serendipity_xmlrpc.php to work? I've tried Zempt, and wbloggar, and neither can parse serendipity. The features say supports MT, and Blogger xml, however, I've never gotten any other tool to work either blogger, blogman, mozblog, etc. etc..

Do you get any errors?

Whoops..

Zempt says:
"Error! Invalid XML {<methodResponse> not found)

wbloggar doesn't give a detailed error.

Zempt is specifically for Moveable Type weblogs. wbloggar is for just about everything.

I'm running the Oct3 build of S9y.

I've been trying to find out why serendipity_xmlrpc isn't working.

I ran tcpdump on my system and watched the transaction, turns out there is an error being generated by the xmlrpc parser:

I have the full dump file, and can send it to anyone that wants it. I'd upload it to the forums, but it doesn't accept uploads.

Further, I'd love to help fix it, but I've not been able to figure it out.

try the CVS now

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 2003 8:35 pm**

would appreciate feedback from anyone using a pure Blogger API tool.

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2003 1:03 am**

WOO!!

The Zempt and W.bloggar both connect now, they can't pull previous posts, or post, but they do connect!! WHOO!

I'll look for a pure blogger api tool to test with.

Posted: **Thu Aug 19, 2004 5:01 pm**

I'm still seeing badly formatted posts with 0.6. The title doesn't get parsed out as an entity, and the body content (if I look through the web author interface after attempting an XML-RPC post) looks like:

<<title>>TITLE HERE<</title>>BODY HERE

It appears that some encoding's occuring that's messing up the parse ...

... any suggestions?

Posted: **Thu Aug 19, 2004 5:39 pm**

I just tried BlogJet (in BloggerAPI mode) and see the same behavior exhibited when using w.bloggar:

- Title doesn't get separated
- Body includes munged XML fragment (including title)

I don't think it's the serendipity_xmlrpc.php file ... it seems to be the XML-RPC message parser (in PEAR).

Maybe I'm whacked.

I've just found s9y and this is a feature I very much want.

I tried wbloggar and Frequency and both put the title in with the body and fail to actually publish the entry. It does shows up as a draft entry.

If there's a way to make this work I would appreciate it if someone will clue me in.

Thanks[/quote]

Well ... I've done some digging and isolated the problem.

1) There's a known bug in the PEAR::XML_RPC package (http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=987) that generates the 'double coded' character entities. I've resolved that (sort of) for the Bloggar new and update methods (haven't had a chance to test the rest).

2) The serendipity_xmlrpc.php file doesn't strip the title element off properly in Blogger mode (more acurately, it doesn't do it at all). This I've also fixed, as well as correcting the "only posts as draft" issue.

I'm going through the motions of "joining the family" so I can get these changes back to the developers. If you want a copy of the patched file (in the meantime), let me know.

It seems to work with w.bloggar as Movable Type. I've only played with it for about 10 minutes but since I told w.bloggar it was Movable Type I've been able to add entries. The title even goes in correctly.

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2004 1:59 pm**

hmm posting seems to work with wbloggar and as movabletype, but I can't download any existing posts. When I try to open an existing post I get an error message: "Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf" (sorry only in german).

Hmm ...

Anyone have XMLRPC working?

Anyone have XMLRPC working?

This is actually a bug report.

tested with Kung-Log (mt/metaweblog hybrid)

Still odd behavior w/ 0.6-pl3

Further details

Title in body and entry is draft

Ok ... I've got a partial fix

It seems to work with w.bloggar as Movable Type
