Sadly, this appears to now be broken with the latest version(s) of WP (2.0.6) and/or Ecto (2.4.2). When I try to refresh the posts in Ecto, I get an error in the Console log complaining about the first block change (’$sql = â€œSELECT…’).

If anyone is able to find a workaround for this bugaboo, I’m definitely interested.

There’s a pretty easy workaround with Ecto. Just make a post as normal, upload any pictures from the pic editing sheet, and then copy the html.
You can then just paste it into a page.

It’s quick enough, and you get all the custom html templates you may be using.

I understand direct posting is easier, but for the amount of pages I actually creat or edit it’s quicker for me to do ti this way than to remember to re-hack all my php files with each Wordpress update.

Hope this helps!

Hey, I just got this working with WP 2.0.4 and BlogsInHand. I had trouble figuring out where to put the last block, as the original text is not there AFAICS. I put it in the wp_update_post() function after the block starting:

// Drafts shouldn’t be assigned a date unless explicitly done so by the user

as well as in the wp_insert_post function (first function) after the line:

extract($postarr);

and one of these options worked. I also edited the first block to read as follows:

$sql = “SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status IN (’publish’, ‘draft’, ‘private’, ’static’) ORDER BY post_status DESC, post_date DESC $limit”;

This puts the *pages* at the top of the list in BlogsInHand, so they are always available for editing.

I really didn’t know what I was doing, and am surprised this worked so well, but so far so good. Thanks for your great script! This perfected my pocket pc blogging experience.

Is it possible to post a working file with the version numers of WordPress and Ecto.

It works a little with ecto and WP 2.0.1. I have to create a blank page in the admin panel, then I can edit it with ecto. This, at least, allows me to update pages quickly once they’re made. However, I have noticed that on some servers, my pages will hang the server’s php for a while if I edit a page too many times. Don’t know what’s up with that.

Alrighty. No go with my install of WP2 and Marsedit. I’d try ecto but I think I used up my trial last year (never got around to actually do a blog)… But it was an XML-RPC error that Marsedit threw, so I’m reasonably sure it’s not unique to the program.

Anyone try this with WP2? I’m interested in trying it but that’s an awful lot of mucking around in core files so I’d rather someone else be the guinea pig.

So it seems this works fairly well. Except now my pages never finish loading. The page looks complete and according to my browser’s activity window, everything is loaded except the page itself. For instance it reads “13.5KB out of ?”. Any ideas?
