w.bloggar and Serendipity

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Yes, I think asking the w.bloggars if that is a known bug would now seem appropriate

Best regards,

Here is th XML that w.bloggar does send:

How did you get access to the XML?

[Bobasaur]

Heya,

I opened w.bloggars' .post file with an editor, EditPlus. What it is actually sending is:

Title: textTitle
Body: textBody
Extended: textMore

And how it even passes a category I don't know... string is empty:

Category:

<member>
<name>categories</name>
<value>
<string></string> <<--------- Nothing there
</value>
</member>

I'm just glad that it's halfway there!

I don't think, the xml-file, which can be saved by bloggar is the xml bloggar sends to the blog.

And BTW, it saves categories as well! And it transfers them to the blog, been there, done that.

my saved xml:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<postData>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>accountID</name>
<value>
<int>-1</int>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>blogID</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>postID</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>textTitle</name>
<value>
<string>test</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>textBody</name>
<value>
<string>sdsdfsdf</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>dateCreated</name>
<value>
<dateTime.iso8601>18991230T00:00:00</dateTime.iso8601>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>textMore</name>
<value>
<string>weiter</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>excerpt</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>keywords</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>allowComments</name>
<value>
<int>-1</int>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>allowPings</name>
<value>
<int>-1</int>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>textFilter</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>trackBack</name>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>categories</name>
<value>
<string>Auf ein Bild	Mein Leben & ich	</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</postData>

As i said, this seems to be only the internal xml-represantation of bloggar, it is NOT the send xml: There is <name>textTitle</name>, but in the config "title" and "title" is the right term for s9y.

OK, I found a proxy which sniffers my sendings. So, this is the xml which bloggar sends:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>metaWeblog.newPost</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<string>1</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<string>my-login</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<string>my-pass</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>title</name>
<value>
<string>testtitle</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>description</name>
<value>
<string>test text</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>categories</name>
<value>
<array>
<data>
<value>
<string>Auf ein Bild</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>Fundsachen</string>
</value>
<value>
<string></string>
</value>
</data>
</array>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<boolean>0</boolean>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

What you must know:

I try it with unchanged bloggar config, I try it with mt_text_more, I even try it with <title1> to fetch an error, but even with title1 in the config bloggar sends <name>title</name>

so, bloggar seems to ignore the config AND do not send extended text.

Stephen,

I see what you mean. I took a look at the packet using CommView with the same results. Thanks for the insight!
