Overview

Due to a recent request we enabled the MetaBlog API Add-On today. Here are notes from the readme! Ping me or the forum with issues!

Information from Readme

To use the api, point your following MetaBlog tool at InstallPath/MetaBlog.ashx. For example, installing locally in a virtual directory called CS and placing the file in the blogs folder would result in the following path:

Urls

SqlJunkies: http://sqljunkies.com/weblog/MetaBlog.ashx
DotNetJunkies: http://dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/MetaBlog.ashx

Original Readme:

Please note, the MetaBlog API will pass your credentials in plain text!

To Install:

Copy the two .dll's to your site's bin directory:
    - CookComputing.XmlRpc.dll
    - Telligent.Blogs.Services.XmlRpc.dll
    

If you would like to use avoid any web.config changes (recommended) copy the MetaBlog.ashx file to your web directory.
We recommand you place it in the blogs folder.

To use the api, point your following MetaBlog tool at InstallPath/MetaBlog.ashx. For example, installing locally in a virtual directory called CS and placing the file in the blogs folder would result in the following path:

http://localhost/cs/blogs/MetaBlog.ashx

Otherwise, open up your web.config and add the following line in the httpHandler section:


    type = "Telligent.Blogs.Services.XmlRpc.MetaWeblog, Telligent.Blogs.Services.XmlRpc" />
    
To use the api, point your favorite MetaBlog tool at InstallPath/Blogs/MetaBlogAPI.aspx.

If you installed CS in a local virtual directory called CS, the path would be:

http://localhost/cs/blogs/metablogapi.aspx

More information Use the following:
Host: sqljunkies.com (the lack of www was throwing me)
Page: /weblog/metablog.ashx

Hello All,

 

I have been aware of a lot of people Blogging about issues with CommunityServer and complaining about implementation. Most of these have just been brought to my attention and my question is – why Blog about it to people who cannot do anything about it? PLEASE CONTACT US!!!!

 

Apparently a lot of these are features that are not implemented because they require additional “add-ons” to CS. We do not know you want these added on unless you tell us!!!

 

In the future please email us and we will do our best to get whatever you want either fixed, upgraded or added on!
