So here is Mephisto xmlrpc plugin for Mephisto release 0.8 and for Mephisto Edge.
I have ported original Mephisto_xmlrpc plugin to work with Mephisto 0.8 and Mephisto edge.The Original plugin was not compatible with most of the Desktop blogging tool if you use metaweblog api. this plugin working with almost all popular blogging tools like ecto, marsedit, blogtk, gnome-blog etc. , even with google reader.
checkout Mephisto xmlrpc plugin from subversion, this is available two flavors .
for Mephisto release 0.8
script/plugin install http://svn.railshacks.com/projects/mephisto/plugins/mephisto_xmlrpc_0.8
for Mephisto edge
script/plugin install http://svn.railshacks.com/projects/mephisto/plugins/mephisto_xmlrpc_edge

July 22nd, 2008 at 10:23 AM Hey jeet, Nice work on this plugin! I had been trying to find the time to work on something similar myself. I just used the plugin to post to my Mephisto blog for the first time in months via MarsEdit - so thanks for all your hardwork! I'd consider perhaps hosting this on GitHub? I know there is a fairly small following of people who were looking for this support so we'd all be able to help out with bug fixes and keeping this plugin up to date. I also noticed there is a newish port of ActionWebService up to the latest version of Rails. I'm using that with my blog and it works just great. More details here, http://davidsmalley.com/2008/7/22/metaweblog-api-returns-to-mephisto - thanks again!
July 23rd, 2008 at 09:18 AM Thanks for your support David
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:34 AM David this plugin is already there at http://github.com/jeet/mephisto_xmlrpc/tree/master
August 12th, 2008 at 05:04 PM Very Nice Site! Thanx! http://excellent-credit-card.blogspot.com
August 28th, 2008 at 12:15 AM Strangely, while having following the directions above I'm getting a plugin.rb:3: superclass must be a Class (Module given) (TypeError) when I start up my mongrels. Any ideas ? Pretty sure I followed the directions as specified.
August 28th, 2008 at 08:48 AM Hi Daryl It seems that you are using mephisto edge with mephisto_xmlrpc_0.8 plugin , please use the edge version of this plugin mephisto_xmlrpc_edge to get it working . follow instructions above , if you feel any problem please let me know.
August 29th, 2008 at 04:43 PM Following the directions above, when I get to the part about installing the action web service via svn, I find I don't have a vendor/rails directory. So, I created one and did the svn checkout. However, all sorts of things break at this point. It looks like I need to have something called vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer. But since I had not vendor/rails to begin with, clearing I'm missing this file. Maybe someone out there has a pointer for me to follow? I installed a version of mephisto from http://mephistoblog.com/download called 0.8 Drax. Thanks in advance.
August 31st, 2008 at 03:04 AM @Jeet... You're totally right. I thought I had checked out 0.8, but must've grabbed edge. The edge plugin seems to allow the mongrels to start. thanks ! Now I just need a script to port simplelog over to mephisto... =]
September 1st, 2008 at 02:30 PM Hi Keith, you dont need to freeze rails . just checkout action web services in your vendor directory.you dont need to create rails directory at all. if you feel any problem please let me know cheers
September 1st, 2008 at 03:58 PM Ah - excellent! I was trying to be smarter than the instructions and inserted that stupid rails directory. Thanks Jeet.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:39 AM I found a couple issues with the xmlrpc plugin (for edge mephisto -- even though I could have sworn I downloaded 0.8). The "read more" functionality doesn't seem to work: when I post, the content above the fold duplicates to the bottom, replacing what was there. Also, one of my articles seems to get listed twice in the "fetch post" dialog. I'm not entirely sure what is different about it without looking at the db... If you're interested in sorting it out and want more info, you can reach me on aim at ThreadUsesIRC, on freenode as thread, or via email. Thanks for keeping up Mephisto's xmlrpc features. :) Adam
November 5th, 2008 at 08:44 AM Excellent time. And nice site. Keep up a good work! :-))
November 19th, 2008 at 06:56 PM looks like i got the plugin working fine with my app, but when i use MarsEdit, and try to post, i get an error: Casting of method parameters failed NoMethodError (undefined method `signature=' for #) any thoughts?
December 12th, 2008 at 02:49 PM thanks for keeping this plugin alive
