Can IMified post to a BlogCFC blog? This post was made through IMified, using the WordPress service. It seems to work :)

Danlance's Gravatar It seems that BlogCFC ignores the line breaks embedded in the message :(

Danlance's Gravatar In Imified, select 'My Account' option from main menu.
Click the 'Add/Edit Services' link
Select the WordPress icon (White W on Black circle) in the 'Add a New Service' menu

Fill in the fields -
Username and Password fields need to be those of a valid admin user for the blog you are posting to.

Account Access Address is:
[blog_root_url]/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.cfm

Click Update Settings - and try it in IMified.

I have not yet found a way to include line breaks in the post - passing line break characters in, just outputs them within the HTML source without replacing them with </br>, and when I attempted to pass in html, nothing happened. I imagine an error was generated within BlogCFC - probably because the xml getting sent over would no longer be valid with the embedded html code.

I need to look at the XMLRPC standard, and at how BlogCFC handles the XMLRPC call - I'm sure that there must be a way to get BlogCFC to convert line feed characters within the submission to <br />. Not being able to but line breaks within a Blog post really stops the integration from being useful to me at the moment :(

Critter's Gravatar I use blogcfc's xmlrpc connection to post /all/ the time. I've never had a problem with it stripping /anything/ out... jsyk...

Dan Lancelot's Gravatar Thanks critter

I don't know where the issue is - at the blogcfc end or at imified (or with me!)
From what you are saying it seems more likely that the issue may be at the imified end - but as i say, I know next to nothing about xmlrpc, so I could be missing something completely obvious.
