how to post entry/extended body via API?

[ameo]

hi,
how can i tell s9y how to split the content i submit through scribfire or any other blogging tool?

i used to use

Code: Select all

<!--more-->

with almost all the blogging engines i've used, but that doesn't seems to work with s9y.

any idea?

thanks

Hi!

s9y supports an "split entry" plugin that allows to use such a syntax. However, when you add an entry through XMLRPC you must make sure to put this split syntax into the EXTENDED body, not the plaintext body.

s9y seperates between body and extended body, for XMLRPC this is usually the "mt_text_more" column that your client needs to support to fill the output.

HTH,

Both BlogJet and Post2Blog more-or-less correctly post splitted entry.

I had the following problems related to extended entry with them (more frequently with post2blog):

- sometimes basic entry ended with <p>, and extended entry started with </p>, what obviously messed HTML

- sometimes when I load the post from the server for edition the split mark is missed (and must be re-added)

sorry, i wanted to reply to this yesterday but totally forgot,
i couldn't find that "split entry" plugin the only thing i found related was the "split in pages"

i use both actually, have you tried posting splitted entry successfully through post2blog?

have you tried posting splitted entry successfully through post2blog

Yes, and it works (I insert this _MORE_TEXT_MARK_ or whatever it is called - I am now writing from another machine) and post (as draft).

The only problem is that - as I said - initial excerpt ends with <p>, and extended entry starts with </p>, what confuses browser when serendipity renders.

Cool, thanks
i'll give it on more shot.

one more issue i'm wondering about, hope you or garvin can tell me about.

when posting through blogging software, does s9y try to check all the links in the post for possible trackbacks/pingback URL?

and also when i post does the "post announcement" plugin works? or it needs entries to e posted only from admin area!

thanks

This should work as well, but this pinging is much more prone to errors or network failures.
