I followed AdamK’s hints and found this to be working:

First, copy the entire rpc folder into each of my sites folders like this (I edited the index.php content, so linking was not an option):

# cp -R /var/www/html/textpattern/rpc /var/www/html/textpattern/sites/site1/public/rpc

Then find this line in the index.php file inside the rpc folder:

require_once txpath.'/config.php';

I changed it into

require_once '/var/www/html/textpattern/sites/site1/private/config.php';

My folder structure is like this:

/var/www/html/textpattern/ —> This is the base directory
/var/www/html/textpattern/textpattern/ —> this is my textpattern directory
/var/www/html/textpattern/sites/site1 —> my first multisite folder

I then set MarsEdit to the following (only the interesting general settings):

Blog Name: My Multisite Site
Homepage URL: http://example.com
System Name: Other
System API: Movable Type API
API Endpoint URL: http://example.com/rpc
Blog ID: articles

Do not forget to activate rpc in the administration section of your site. Also remember to provide login credentials to MarsEdit (Enter Password…).

That worked for me :-)

Re: [feedback] How To Win Friends Who Love Desktop Blogging...

Having got MarsEdit to post to my single site, thanks to help here and in the G+ Community, I’m now wondering whether it might be possible to take advantage of either Draft or Hidden posts. That way, I could do the outlines of the post in MarsEdit, and then tidy it up finally in TXP. But I don’t know how to see draft or hidden posts under the Articles tab.

Is it possible?
