[Bug 44867] Re: Cannot set custom path for WP
0.9x has been in since Edgy. Does this bug only affect Dapper? The code in 0.9x seems to drop the wordpress/ prefix. ** Changed in: gnome-blog (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Needs Info -- Cannot set custom path for WP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 44867] Re: Cannot set custom path for WP
sadly this patch will break existing working setups if people use the preferences dialog because it will automatically re-write url_ending to /xmlrpc.php so if you do have a /wordpress/xmlrp.php install that is currently working this patch has the potential to break it.

[Bug 44867] Re: Cannot set custom path for WP
OK, here is a slightly better patch. It takes any existing url_ending and appends it to the url. This makes it obvious to the user what is going on. -- Cannot set custom path for WP https://launchpad.net/bugs/44867 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Acck! Sorry, y'all!! I am new to launchpad, so didn't find this bug when I searched for gnome-blog related bugs. Here is a patch that fixes this issue: snip from Bug #53089 When creating an account on gnome-blog and setting the Blog Type to Self-Run Wordpress, gnome-blog appends: wordpress/xmlrpc.php to the Base Blog URL. If you set an alternative directory name for the wordpress installation, ie: http://my.wordpress.com/other_dirname You will receive the following error when trying to Lookup Blogs: Could not get list of blogs URL 'http://my.wordpress.com/other_dirnamewordpress/xmlrpc.php' does not seem to be a valid bloggerAPI XML-RPC server. Web server reported: Not Found. Here is a patch to blogge,r_prefs.py that will fix that problem, by simply removing the wordpress/xmlrpc.php, and only inserting, /xmlrpc.php: --- blogger_prefs.py 2006-07-15 14:39:57.0 -0500 +++ blogger_prefs.py.new 2006-07-15 14:41:26.0 -0500 @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ url_description = _(Base Blog URL:) elif blog_type == custom-wordpress: url = None - url_ending = wordpress/xmlrpc.php + url_ending = /xmlrpc.php protocol = MetaWeblog url_description = _(Base Blog URL:) elif blog_type == blogger.com: /snip -- Cannot set custom path for WP https://launchpad.net/bugs/44867 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 44867] Re: Cannot set custom path for WP
A simple workaround is to set the blog type as self-run other and the blog protocol as BloggerAPI. -- Cannot set custom path for WP https://launchpad.net/bugs/44867 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
