Here is a small patch for metablog
Oliver Ripka patches@@bockcay.de
For Programm: gnome-blog For Version: 0.9.1-3 with debian patches Debian-Url: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/gnome/gnome-blog Url: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/gnome-blog/ Original Author: Seth Nickell This adds category support for the MetaBlog RPC API. E can only select one category for each post. I know that the api allows to post in multiple categories but frankly I do not use that feature and I did not find a adequate widget in gnome that fitted well in the gnome-blog-post dialog Category selecton will only work for metablog api (wordpress, etc) Apply this patch doing so: :~$ cd gnome-blog-0.8/ :~$ patch -p1 < ../category.patch diff -u -r gnome-blog-0.9.1/blog_poster.py toHack/blog_poster.py --- gnome-blog-0.9.1/blog_poster.py 2006-11-01 12:46:41.000000000 +0100 +++ toHack/blog_poster.py 2006-11-01 12:51:16.000000000 +0100 @@ -85,7 +85,34 @@ titleBox.pack_start(gtk.Label(_("Title:")), expand=False) titleBox.pack_start(self.titleEntry) + client = gconf.client_get_default() + protocol= client.get_string(gconf_prefix + "/blog_protocol") + self.protocol= protocol + + if protocol == "MetaWeblog": + self.categories= blog.getCategories(gconf_prefix) + + liststore = gtk.ListStore(gobject.TYPE_STRING) + self.catCombo = gtk.ComboBox(liststore) + cell = gtk.CellRendererText() + self.catCombo.pack_start(cell, True) + self.catCombo.add_attribute(cell, 'text', 0) + + if None != self.categories: + for x in self.categories: + self.catCombo.append_text(x['categoryName']) + + self.catCombo.set_active(0) + + catBox = gtk.HBox() + catBox.set_spacing(12) + catBox.pack_start(gtk.Label(_("Category:")), expand=False) + catBox.pack_start(self.catCombo, expand=False) + + box.pack_start(titleBox, expand=False) + if protocol == "MetaWeblog" and self.categories!= None: + box.pack_start(catBox) box.pack_start(scroller) box.pack_start(buttonBox, expand=False) @@ -133,11 +160,16 @@ print "Text is: {\n %s \n }\n" % (html_text) title = self.titleEntry.get_text().decode('utf-8') + category = self.catCombo.get_active_text() + # Don't post silly blog entries like blank ones if not self._postIsReasonable(html_text): return - successful_post = blog.postEntry(title, html_text, gconf_prefix) + if self.protocol== "MetaWeblog": + successful_post = blog.postEntry(title, html_text, gconf_prefix, category) + else: + successful_post = blog.postEntry(title, html_text, gconf_prefix) if successful_post: # Only delete the entry if posting was successful diff -u -r gnome-blog-0.9.1/blog.py toHack/blog.py --- gnome-blog-0.9.1/blog.py 2006-11-01 12:46:41.000000000 +0100 +++ toHack/blog.py 2006-11-01 12:53:59.000000000 +0100 @@ -23,6 +23,15 @@ return blog_backend.postEntry(username, password, url, title, entry, client, gconf_prefix) + +def postEntry (title, entry, gconf_prefix, catName): + client = gconf.client_get_default() + username, password, protocol, url = _getSettings(client, gconf_prefix) + blog_backend = _getBlogBackend(protocol) + + return blog_backend.postEntry(username, password, + url, title, entry, + client, gconf_prefix, catName) def uploadImage (image, gconf_prefix): client = gconf.client_get_default() @@ -43,6 +52,15 @@ return imageurl +def getCategories(gconf_prefix): + client = gconf.client_get_default() + username, password, protocol, url = _getSettings(client, gconf_prefix) + blog_backend = _getBlogBackend(protocol) + + print "Protocol: "+ protocol + return blog_backend.getCategories(username, password, + url, client, gconf_prefix) + def _getSettings(client, gconf_prefix): print "Using prefix %s" % (gconf_prefix) username = client.get_string(gconf_prefix + "/blog_username") diff -u -r gnome-blog-0.9.1/protocols/MetaWeblog.py toHack/protocols/MetaWeblog.py --- gnome-blog-0.9.1/protocols/MetaWeblog.py 2006-11-01 12:46:41.000000000 +0100 +++ toHack/protocols/MetaWeblog.py 2006-11-01 13:36:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -16,8 +16,33 @@ def __init__(self): bloggerAPI.Blog.__init__(self) + def getCategories(self, username, password, base_url, client, gconf_prefix): + url = self._getURL(base_url, client, gconf_prefix) + + if (base_url == None): + hig_alert.reportError("Could not get categories.") + return FALSE + + blog_id = client.get_string(gconf_prefix + "/blog_id") + + proxy_transport = proxy.GnomeProxyTransport(client) + server = proxy_transport.get_server(url) + + try: + success = server.metaWeblog.getCategories(blog_id, username, password) + except xmlrpclib.Fault, e: + hig_alert.handleBloggerAPIFault(e, "Could not get categories", username, blog_id, url) + success = None + except xmlrpclib.ProtocolError, e: + hig_alert.reportError("Could not get categories", 'URL \'%s\' does not seem to be a valid bloggerAPI XML-RPC server.
