Thanks Aaron.

Also, now that 2.5 beta is out and we can play with it, any chance of an update of the original blog post settings document? I can play with it until i find the right xmlrpc path for metaweblog, but it would be easier if y'all could just tell us the settings for marsedit under 2.5, Thanks much,

Rich

me neither.

Clearspace 2

Marsedit 2.1.3 (1404)

On trying to load recent posts I get:

Can’t get recent posts for xxxxxxx because the server reported an error: Failed to invoke method getRecentPosts in class com.jivesoftware.community.webservices.xmlrpc.MetaWeblogAPIHandler: Blog My Blog could not be loaded from the database.

on trying to post I similiarly get:

Can’t post for xxxxxxx because the server reported an error: Failed to invoke method newPost in class com.jivesoftware.community.webservices.xmlrpc.MetaWeblogAPIHandler: Blog My Blog could not be loaded from the database.

basically a complete bust.

hi guys,

Not sure why this isn't working, but I filed a bug for it (http://jira.jiveland.com/browse/CS-6825, which I know you can't see, but trust me, it's there) and I'll work to get it into 2.0.5 / 2.0.6.

Cheers,

Is there any traction on this? Relaying information from perused feeds is a major benefit of CS. A user should be able to view a feed in their reader and post it to CS easily. Attensa said they were working on this some time ago for their Mac reader. NetNewswire can post via Ecto or Marsedit, but neither of those currently seems to work with the suggested settings and 2.0.3.

I had this working fine in CS 1.3 and ScribeFire. I recently connected my ScribeFire to CS X 2.1 and I see this error in the logs when trying to access my blog via the xmlrpc endpoint http://myserver/clearspacex/blogs/xmlrpc

2008.07.07 17:52:15 error ERROR in BlooggerAPIHander.getUsersBlogs

For what it's worth, I can't get MarsEdit working on Mac OS X 10.5 -> Clearspace 2.0 with these settings.

Hi Aj,

I'm having trouble getting Microsoft Live Writer (or Adobe Contribute CS3) to post to clearspace and was hoping you could help. Here's my setup:

Clearspace 2.0.0 self-installation package running on Windows Server 2003
I'm using MS SQL 2005 as my database.
I've enabled XML-RPC services in the Web Services panel under System/Settings.
Web Serveices 'user access' is set to Anybody and Force SSL is set to No.
I have 3 blogs already setup in ClearSpace, none of them have posts yet.
I am user 'admin'
I am using Windows Live Writer version 2008 (build 12.0.1366.1026)
I set my Weblog Homepage URL (in livewriter) to http://clearspace/clearspace/blogs/admin (this is my internal addy, i've also used the external URL)
I set my username to admin (and my password)
I set the weblog type to Metaweblog API
I set my remote posting URL to http://clearspace/clearspace/blogs/xmlrpc (this is my internal, i've also trield the external)

When LiveWriter attempts connection, it ruturns this message

Blog Server Error - Server Error 1000 Occured
ERROR in BloggerAPIHandler.getUsersBlogs

I'm not sure if that's a true ClearSpace server error or if its a Livewriter error..

I've also tried other various URLs for xmlrpc but get errors that say URL could not be found - so I think I have the URL correct.

Do you have any idea of what might be happening?

Another super useful feature would be a "below-the-fold" marker-- such that when authoring a post, user could say basically "display up to this point in the main page." The system would then truncate the display of the blog on the overview page and provide a clicktrhough for "continue reading post xyz."

hi Peter,

I'm pretty sure that the blog XML-RPC functionality isn't included under the System --> Web Services umbrella. Let me know if that works, but if not maybe you could post the settings you're using when trying to configure your blog in Windows Live Writer?

Cheers,

Hi Aaron,

I downloaded a personal copy of the server so I could play around with the settings. I think my system admin has to enable XML-RPC on the System -> Web Services panel.

Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!
