Joomla support

Hi bjmac - thanks for raising the question again here in the forums. Looks like the last time this came up, there was a lot of back and forth but no confirmation of whether it worked well or not:

The bottom line is that if Joomla implements one of the standard XMLRPC based interfaces, MarsEdit should work without a hitch.  Generally speaking MarsEdit only requires "special support" if it's going to implement something unique for a specific service, or if the service doesn't support a standard XMLRPC interface.

It works! Hooray well, this will serve as a great reference then for future Joomla users to look to.

Thanks for getting out there and trying it, and letting us know how you did it.

Alright it looks like here is the real solution for MarsEdit to work with image upload support:

This XML-RPC download is a modification of the original metaWeblog API http://github.com/benjaminjackson/jooml … ree/master

The rest of the direction below still apply:

"Install and enable the System - Real Simple Discovery (RSD) plugin http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/rsd/frs/
Disable the blogger api XML-RPC - Blogger API
Make sure you have web services enabled in Global Configuration > System
Configure Mars Edit like this:
Homepage URL: your page http://www.homepage.com/xmlrpc/index.php
Software: Other MetaWeblog-compatible
API Endpoint URL: http://www.homepage.com/xmlrpc/index.php
Blog ID: 1
It works!"

Image uploads still seem to go to http://yoursite.com/media/<user> but it works none the less!

I ran into some more issues getting MetaWeblogAPI working (it zapped anything past the readmore after the first edit).  It led to me hacking the php code...if people are interested, what I did is available here:

I haven't decided if I am ambitious enough to fully learn how MetaWeblog should work (the big thing I have left to get working is MarsEdit reading the category...don't think the API is properly sending it)...but I probably have it working well enough that I'll pay the $$ to buy MarsEdit :-)

I shouldn't have stayed up so late though :-)

Nice topic! Thanks for manual!
