Re: Date bug on 1.4.5

Yuri Albuquerque — 2012-11-14T15:09:01

It seems that it was not a bug, only myself being dumb.

I was loading weblogger.el with (require 'weblogger), when I needed to use
(load-file "weblogger.el"). When I did this the bug was solved.

I have no idea why this kind of thing happens, though. I guess I need to
learn Emacs Lisp better. :)

Re: Date bug on 1.4.5

I only have given a small look into the code. I didn't have much time
yesterday, so I emailed for everybody to know before anything.

I think today I'll have some time. I'll try to track down the bug. If I
find it, I'll send you a patch.

What have you tried so far to track down the origin of the bug?  What 
is the URL for your weblog?

Date bug on 1.4.5

Yuri Albuquerque — 2012-11-13T22:23:40

I'm not sure if that's a bug on weblogger or in xml-rpc, but everytime I
try to post on my blog, the date of the post becomes "Dec 31 1999" for
some mysterious reason. That's really, REALLY annoying, and I don't seem to
be able to find the origin of the bug.

Formatting hooks for weblogger.el (was Re: Strange behavior with wordpress)

Mark A. Hershberger — 2012-07-19T11:41:07

Since this isn't really documented, I thought I would share what my own
configuration is.  This is how I have Emacs configured to automatically
set the mode for typing up weblog entries:

(defun mah/weblogger-setup ()
  (flyspell-mode 1)
  (flyspell-buffer)         ; spell check the fetched post
  (auto-fill-mode -1)       ; Turn off hard word-wrap
  (visual-line-mode 1))     ; Tell Emacs to do soft word-wapping

(defun mah/weblogger-publish-hook ()
  (when visual-line-mode    ; Turn soft word-wrapping off so the text
    (visual-line-mode -1))  ; we send doesn't have stray n/ls
  ;; tabs might spoil code indentation
  (untabify (point-min) (point-max)))

(defun mah/weblogger-publish-end-hook ()
  (visual-line-mode 1))

(add-hook 'weblogger-publish-entry-end-hook
          'mah/weblogger-publish-end-hook)
(add-hook 'weblogger-publish-entry-hook 'mah/weblogger-publish-hook)
(add-hook 'weblogger-start-edit-entry-hook 'mah/weblogger-setup)

It sounds like you're talking about a feature of WordPress.  Could you
give me an example of what you're talking about?

Strange behavior with wordpress

Yuri Albuquerque — 2012-07-19T01:16:16

Whenever I'm creating some post on wordpress, I have some automatic line
breaks. Is this a bug or a feature? Why does this happen?

Symbol's function definition is void: caddr

Peter — 2010-10-06T16:49:44

Hi,

I was able to get weblogger to work after the initial setup, however
after the first session and logout I'm unable to re-connect. I've
completely removed the settings and reinstalled weblogger using ELPA and
after a re-install it works fine in the same way: first login works but
subsequent logins are foiled.

Peter

The following is the error:

Symbol's function definition is void: caddr

This is the content of my .emacs file:

Mark A. Hershberger — 2010-09-30T16:06:14

Looks like I didn't test this with "emacs -q -no-site-file"

If you add the following to weblogger.el, does it work?

  (unless (functionp 'caddr)
    (defun caddr (l) (car (cddr l))))

HTH, Mark.

Re: Wordpress and timezone differences

Michael Stutz — 2010-07-27T15:08:08


I found the only way for it to work (in GMT-4) is to keep the time on
the Date: line as it is, but change the -0400 to -0800. Changing it to
+0400 (or just 0400) doesn't work---omitting the minus as someone
reported doing earlier will make the post 12 hours behind. 

But if using -0800, the post has the correct date and time in WP.

However, and this is a big caveat, it adds a new problem: the post is
never actually published. If I send a post with -0800 WP sets it as a
"scheduled" post, as if it's a post being made for some time in the
future, even though it comes in at the current time (or a little in the
past, more likely, considering the timestamp is made when you open the
weblogger buffer and it takes time to write the entry). As a result, the
post is never published unless you go into the WP Dashboard and manually
publish it.

Wordpress and timezone differences

Mark A. Hershberger — 2010-07-24T03:17:55

Tonight, I finally had a chance to look at the timezone problems
people are having with WordPress and weblogger-el. 

I was able to confirm that if you set your WP installation to your
timezone, you have to then offset your weblogger-el posts by the same
amount in the opposite direction.

That is, since I'm in GMT-4 and I set my timezone in WP to GMT-4, I had
to set the timezone in my weblogger-el post to be GMT+4.

Why?

From a little googling (e.g http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20070125/4178/)
I found that other people are having similar problems with WP and
timezones.  It looks like WP isn't really treating time properly.

I think I'll be adding a customization so that you can tell weblogger-el
to the appropriate timezone for your blog.  It looks like this is what
has to happen to work around a WP bug.

I could be wrong in how I understand this problem, though, so I'm
interested in your feedback.

Thanks,

Mark.

Re: Weblogger bugs (WordPress, Emacs 22, Linux)

Michael Stutz — 2010-07-21T14:51:43


Are you sure it's the correct time? When I take out the dash the posts
are exactly 12 hours behind---so posting at 4pm (16:00) will give the
post a timestamp of 4am earlier that day (04:00). (Posting now at 10am
makes a post at 10pm last night.)

Taking out the -0400 altogether will set the time for 8 hours previous.

The way to set the correct time, at least for me, is to change it to
-0800. But that too has a problem---when I make a post with the time at
-0800 the post is always made at the current time, but it's listed as
"scheduled" for that time and it never appears in the blog. This happens
even if I first change the date to some time in the past!

Re: Weblogger bugs (WordPress, Emacs 22, Linux)

J. David Boyd — 2010-07-07T13:44:07



The fast way I've found to get around this is to remove the - from in
front of the 0400 time zone value.

I noticed my time was off, so I started playing around, and removing the
'-' gives me the correct time.

Re: Weblogger bugs (WordPress, Emacs 22, Linux)

Mark A. Hershberger — 2010-06-28T23:06:10


Excellent.  I'd love to add these features which (as you can tell from
my tardy reply) might take a while.

I'm in the middle of making some significant changes to mediawiki.el so
I can't say when I'll finish that and have time to focus on the
necessary changes to weblogger.el.


I'm familiar with this sort of problem.


That is what I would recommend.


You can do it manually: turn on longlines-mode when you start editing
and turn off auto-fill-mode.

    M-x auto-fill-mode RET
    M-x longlines-mode RET

and then, before posting it, turn off long lines mode:

    M-x longlines-mode RET

Since this is a common complaint, it'd be good to automate this and
document what needs to be done.

Mark.

Weblogger bugs (WordPress, Emacs 22, Linux)

Michael Stutz — 2010-06-24T20:01:49

I'm enjoying weblogger.el, which I'm using with WordPress, and would be
happy to volunteer with testing---I think a few tweaks could be easily
made (like supporting tags and categories) that would make it much more
practical to use.

I've also found a few bugs in the latest available files (weblogger.el
version 1.4.5 timestampped <2010-03-11 01:49:36 mah> and xml-rpc.el
version 1.6.9a). I sent a bug report about a week ago but also want to
send a mail here and describe what's going on:

First, I'm still encountering the time error that has been reported
before (bug #29277): the time shows correctly in Emacs, but when posted
to WordPress it appears as four hours earlier.

The other bug is that the body text is sent to Wordpress with soft
linefeeds. This doesn't work. What happens is that if you have Emacs set
up with a normal fill column (like 70), and auto-fill-mode as I imagine
most people do, your post buffer will look nice in Emacs, but when it
appears on WordPress the end of lines for each line will have
