MovableType

by **pwestbro** on Sun Sep 24, 2006 7:04 am

I got tired of typing "[@more@]" in my xml rpc client to get extended text in post in LifeType, so I extended the xmlrpc class to support MovableType.

I encountered one issue.

Since the paramers to metaWeblog.getPost and metaWeblog.getRecentPosts do not indicate whether metaWeblog or MovableType API is used. This causes a problem becuase there is no indication if the extended text should be appended to the "description" field or added to the "mt_text_more" field.

I solved this problem by adding a "hidden" blogsetting. If it is not set, the functions behave the same as they did, where the extended text is appended to the "description" filed. (Even though I think that the the default eventually should be the otherway around.) This setting could be configured with a plugin.

Do we want this for 1.1.1, or should this change wait for 1.2?

I will attach the diff next

I am going to do the test cases next

by **phunkphorce** on Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:18 am

This could be added to 1.1.1 as long as the default setting is not to use this feature.

The problem is that I don't know how to expose this setting (in the blog settings page, perhaps?) and that we should not change strings accross maintenance releases...

So it could be added to 1.1.1 and kept as an "unpublished" feature, so to say...

Oh, and thanks for the test cases. Those would be great.

by **pwestbro** on Sun Sep 24, 2006 6:30 pm

I have added the code and the test cases. I am planning on tonight, creating a plugin that will let this setting be enabled/disabled.

I wonder if lifetype now supports MT API?

by **jondaley** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 12:16 pm

Is there a new API or what do you mean? If you mean pwestbro's addition, I don't think it ever got added, but you can see from his comments that he was using the MT api a long time ago.

MovableType support was added in 1.2.x in revision 4544
