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

… 13 years later… Didn’t even know this thread existed (thanks for the link, mistersugar).
Just read it all now and think I have an appreciation as to why I’m struggling with custom fields: seems there’s no support for them!
So, now that metaweblog.mediaObject is a thing in Txp (at least for uploading the image, not with associating it to an article) the next logical step is to somehow support custom fields. That may, by inference, give us the ability to store the new uploaded image ID to the Article Image field (which is essentially a custom field by any other name).
I’ve no idea where to start but I guess I’ll sniff out some metaweblog API docs and go from there.
