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.
