I’ve got it working just enough so that round-tripping posts back and forth between MarsEdit and Drupal 4.7 doesn’t corrupt the entries. Currently, the “Drupal” API in MarsEdit is not up to date with the current state of Drupal, so it’s actually better to use the MovableType API.Įven this is not without problems. I have some outstanding requests on the NewsGator MarsEdit forum about support for Drupal. I think you also need to look at what APIs would be best for each system. Thanks Tim – I hear your Drupal vote :) And will add your Drupal requests to my list of system-specific requests.ĭoes this release fix the problems with new Blogger ? Long story short, I’m not using MarsEdit right now, but consider this a “vote” for Drupal. I’m going to give MarsEdit another try after upgrading.
At least the former issue is a problem with the version of Drupal I’m using ( ). I use Drupal for my blog and it doesn’t allow me to select the input format or category. I just gave MarsEdit a try last week for the first time after reading that you acquired it. I will look into the possibility of adding the ability to identify both the API and the specific system that is being used for their blogs. Yes jon – it would – so, point taken! I will not interpret the data that is collected so much as “what system people are using” as “what API people are using.” I guess that would come through as MovableType? MarsEdit works best with EE on the “MovableType” setting. I use ExpressionEngine (from pmachine) and it uses the MetaWeblog API. For the moment though I think it will help a lot just to know what API people are using, even if it doesn’t say exactly which system it is. Henri: good point about identifying the systems more carefully. The engineName string in RSD files is Midgard CMS/, for example Midgard CMS/1.8.2.1 The “flickering images on preview” issue was pretty much driving me already to Ecto, but now I’ll give MarsEdit another chance to prove itself.īTW, would be great if Midgard CMS (systems would be identified as “Midgard” and not “Other MetaWeblog compatible”. But, probably just a “new car smell” phenomenon :) I’m glad it’s working.Īnd the comments feed is there for your convenience, yes. Steve: if you’re using preview with text filters applied, it’s possible it *is* faster, because it’s not spending all that time reapplying the filter. Nothing like a fresh build to make the user base feel good. It somehow seems *faster* if that’s even possible. Not to say I won’t look at support for new systems, but I’m very interested to see what current users are running, so I can do everything possible to keep them satisfied. This isn’t about winning or losing, but about allowing me to be pragmatic in choosing which features to prioritize in which systems. So now when you “Check For Update,” you’ll also be sort of voting for your preferred blog systems.
USING DRUPAL WITH MARSEDIT PLUS
I’ve tweaked the basic Sparkle Plus profile information so that users can, if they choose, include information not only about their computer and operating system, but about the blogging systems they’ve set up blogs for in MarsEdit.
USING DRUPAL WITH MARSEDIT UPDATE
Fix a slow memory leak when text filters are applied in previewĪnother exciting change in this release is the addition of Sparkle for automatic software update support.Fix the infamous “Preview Flickering Images” bug.Fix a bug with LiveJournal blogs that contain Unicode chars.Two that should please long time users, and one that might prevent scaring off new ones! The release includes three pretty significant bug fixes. All the little spots where the app takes you to a web page or whatnot are now updated to point to Red Sweater instead of Ranchero. MarsEdit 1.1.3 is mostly a “bug-fix and rebranding” release.
USING DRUPAL WITH MARSEDIT FREE
It’s been four days since the acquisition, and I’m happy to announce the immediate availability of MarsEdit 1.1.3, a free update for all registered users. How am I going to reward users for their enthusiasm? By releasing updates. People are excited about MarsEdit, and they’re not afraid to let me know :) I’ve never heard so much positive feedback in a single day. When the news went out last Thursday that Red Sweater had acquired MarsEdit, the reaction from the public was just amazing.
