I pointed to where I put the metaweblog file (and where the ReadMe says to):

Hmmm...

But it looks like your pivot folder is at http://www.sense-datum.org/tim/pivot/, so you would need to point flickr to http://www.sense-datum.org/tim/pivot/metaweblog.php

Right... That's what I meant -- I mistyped... I mean, I think I know where my Pivot directory is. Thumbs Up

I'll try again just to make sure that's not what I did in Flickr.

Nope, this version of the metaweblog script doesn't fix it yet.

w.bloggar gives another error on almost every action i do: "The categoy functions aren't supported. Specify your category under Blog ID".

I haven't the foggiest idea what that means. Smile

Also, my ecto (1.6, the latest one for windows i believe), doesn't seem to have a console. Hmmm


The category thing came from an error in the getCategory function. Apparently w.bloggar is a little less forgiving than ecto Smile . I've got a new version up which shouldn't have that problem.

Also, to help debug, I've added http://www.rocksandpaper.com/metaweblog_logging.zip which writes all of its output to a file xmlrpc_log.txt. (Be warned that the log file can get pretty big)

I double-checked my URL and I did, indeed type it wrong in Flickr -- boy, am I swift today! Embarassed

Maybe I should just throw in the towel for the day!

P.S. I wonder if there would be a way to strip the <br> tags out of the Flickr posts...

And another step further: I'm getting less errors now, but i can still only fetch entries from 'linkdump', not from 'standard'.

I've been testing with the logfile open, and as far as i can tell, it doesn't return _faulty_ xml, it just doesn't return _anything_. No new entry in the logfile, at least.

Does that ring a bell, or should i try digging deeper?

Also: I'm assuming you wouldn't object if i included your work in pivot 1.30, after it's a bit more fleshed out, won't you.. Of course you'll be credited where appropriate..

That's usually the result of a PHP error. Basically it quits and throws back a PHP error message instead of an XML response. Since the error exits the script, it never gets to the point where it logs the response.

I'll look into sending PHP errors to the log file. [Update: PHP doesn't seem to have a reliable mechanism for handling fatal errors. They should, however, show up in your server's error logs]

And if it ever gets to the point where it is working properly, feel free to use it. That's what the GPL is for. Smile

For the record!!

I've put up the php file and tried to post a testfile from flickr and got an error. The post is made in pivot, but it isn't rebuilding the frontpage.

Also using w.bloggar the posting is made, but it fails rebuilding the frontpage!

Several people are having that problem. It's a little bit difficult for me to fix because I can't reproduce it -- my front pages rebuild with no problem (in flickr, ecto, and w.bloggar).

I've tried (so far) three different ways of rebuilding front pages (all using existing pivot functions), and the people who were having problems before are still having problems. I'll look into it again when I get some free time.

Also, does flickr actually report the error, or does it report success and then not show up? (If you're actually getting error messages, can you check your server's error logs and let me know what the actual PHP errors are?)

a quick note from me...
works with w.bloggar out of the box on my domain...

only one snag, this due to the pivot style implementation of categories in pivot, so that instead of choosing which weblog to publish too, you put the category there... pivot is a bit fussy on the category bit

well it is quite understandable.. you can't choose to which weblog you want to post an entry, but you can choose in which categories that entry goes... Wink

on the contrary, i can it treats each category as a weblog... so i choose weblog instead of category...
i'm at work now, but i can put up some screenshots when i get home...

I try to add http://blog.adolvsson.com/pivot/metaweblog.php to my flickr, but all I get is "The username and password you entered do not have any weblogs associated with them." I have checked, double-cheched and re-checked. Username and password is correct. Is there anything else I might have forgotten? Do I need to do something in Pivot?

does the user have access to the category that script wants to add an entry to?
does that category even exist?

Well, the user is the only user and has access to all categories, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I actually don't come that far, since I can't even set up my blog in flickr.
