Getting ScribeFire and Drupal work together

Thu, 04/19/2007 - 18:53 — Richard Laffers

Want to use the ScribeFire (a.k.a. Performancing) Firefox extension for publishing from your desktop to your Drupal based blog? Read here how to set it up in 5 steps.

Okay, I know it's ridiculously simple and only a dummy like me needs to follow these instructions, but hey, next time you have a hard day and cannot accomplish even the simplest of tasks, you WILL know.

  1. Log in as Drupal administrator. Go to Administration--> Site building--> Modules (?q=/admin/build/modules in your browser's locationbar).
  2. Enable the Blog API module.
  3. Go to Administration--> Site configuration--> Blog APIs (?q=/admin/settings/blogapi). Check at least one content type that is considered a blog entry (typically story, blog entry). Save.
  4. Fire up ScribeFire. Launch the Account Wizard in the right side of the ScribeFire window (or click "Add" if you already have set up some accounts previously).
  5. In the Wizard: click "Manually Configure", select "Custom Blog", click "Next", select "Drupal" blog system type, type in your domain (http://changethis.com/xmlrpc.php), click "Next", enter your username, password, click "Next", click "Done".

I warned you, it's ridiculously simple.

Hmmm....  hope you can help.

Got the API set....   but when I try to log in....

 

get 404 not found  (maybe URL wrong)

try a few different ones....  and get:

server returned a malformed response 

or login error, check username

 

What's the right path to the blog???

I know it's ridiculously simple but seriously unless you know already it's kind of hard to figure out. I could not for the life of me figure it out until I found this article of yours. So thank you very much for relaying this information.
