How To: Windows Live Writer for Drupal 4.7.2 with Categories and Images
Changpeng Zhao posts a solution for those who want to post to a Drupal blog via Windows Live Writer but find they can’t get the categories to work.
It seems there was a lot of changes in the XMLRPC.php code in the 4.7.2 -> 4.7.3 upgrade. I happened to have an installation of 4.7.2 and tried it there. After some screwing around, I got Windows Live Writer to work with 4.7.2.
Here are config issues I know:
- Use drupal 4.7.2 instead of 4.7.3 (hopefully, they will fix whatever they changed)
- Enable blogapi module
- Enable blog module (this made a difference for me)
- Config the blogapi module to MovableType
He goes on to list the configuration for Windows Live Writer that goes with it.
