Windows Live Writer And Wordpress Mu (WPMU)
July 19, 2007
I finally was able to add my blog on WPMU to windows live writer. I searched and searched and searched and finally found the answer.
Change these lines in xmlrpc.php:
foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
$blog_id = $blog->userblog_id;
switch_to_blog($blog_id);
$is_admin = current_user_can(’level_8′);
$struct[] = array(
‘isAdmin’ => $is_admin,
‘url’ => get_option(’home’) . ‘/’,
‘blogid’ => $blog_id,
‘blogName’ => get_option(’blogname’)
);
}
return array($struct);
To:
$req_url = ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[’HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]; foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) { $rpc_url = get_option(’home’) . ‘/xmlrpc.php’; if( $rpc_url == $req_url ){ $blog_id = $blog->userblog_id; switch_to_blog($blog_id); $is_admin = current_user_can(’level_8′); $struct = array( ‘isAdmin’ => $is_admin, ‘url’ => get_option(’home’) . ‘/’, ‘blogid’ => $blog_id, ‘blogName’ => get_option(’blogname’) ); break; } } if($struct){ return array($struct); }else{ return $this->error; }

Do you know if this is still the case? I.e. do you still have to hack WPMU in order to make it work with Windows LiveWriter? I’m standing up a new WPMU install right now, and am curious as WLW is the coolest workflow of any blog editor I’ve ever seen. And I am SO not a microsoft fan.

@Jettero: Actually, I am not sure if this is still the case. I have a feeling it has been fixed. I am using a standalone WP and it works great, so I am guessing the new version of WPMU and WLW should play well together. If you do find the answer, please come back and let me know.
Thanks

Thanks — yes, it’s exactly the image workflow that I want to enable using LiveWriter. How one can literally just copy/paste photos and screenshots and images into the blog window and just have it magically show up for the user — that was what attracted me to it. I was getting pretty partial to Flock, but Flock still doesn’t do the automagic image upload thing — which I really dig.
