14.7.2. Blogger Clients Compatibility
The Virtuoso Blog server implementation has been tested against the following blog client applications:
- Radio Userland (Manila Blogger Bridge tool and Upstreaming), available for MS Windows and MacOS X
- NewzCrawler , available for MS Windows
- w.bloggar , available for MS Windows
- blogBuddy , available for MS Windows
- Zempt , available for MS Windows
- BlogMan , available for MS Windows
- thinblog , Java based client
The steps required to allow third-party clients to operate with Virtuoso are:
-
Create a WebDAV account using the Server Administration Interface making sure that the home directory is created as /DAV/<username>/
-
Enable the XML-RPC bridge on a SOAP endpoint (see "XML-RPC endpoint configuration" section above)
-
Most client tools accept a username and password, enter the credentials and URI for XML-RPC endpoint.
-
Allow the client tool time to refresh the Blog data.
-
Post a simple message, verify its creating using the Server Administration Interface's Weblog link.
- Interoperability Notes
-
The "Zempt" application will report an error upon startup saying that "mt.supportedTextFilters" are not supported, however it will continue to work with the Virtuoso's blogging server.
