[TxMt] Blogging bundle: support for dragging files that are not images?

Sat Nov 4 09:52:34 UTC 2006

Update for those interested:  I registered the offending MIME types  
with Wordpress and cured some of the errors.  For example, setting  
DMG files to application/octet-stream in Wordpress allowed me to  
upload smaller DMG files without getting the FaultException from XMLRPC.

I've noticed that in bloggin.rb it never sets the data type before  
the newMediaObject call.  Everything I can find says that this is a  
required field.  What happens when it's not set?  Can you force it to  
ignore or set it to a default?  I attempted to add a MIME::Types  
library and determine the type but it didn't make a difference to  
Wordpress.

I'm still getting the last error on large files.  The upload limit on  
my server is set to 20 megs, but I think I'm running into a timeout.   
I can issue a set_time_limit(1000) in the xmlrpc.php file right  
before the upload, which seems to override it for a couple of minutes  
but I still get the error, so I'm not sure that the timeout is the  
answer.  If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

In short, while I'd love to see this working and a part of the  
blogging bundle, if it requires this much server hacking I think I'll  
stick with my usual method of FTP and hand coding links.  Actually,  
it would be relatively simple to set up a Transmit script to send to  
your wordpress upload folder and then build a drag command to upload  
the dropped file with docksend and return a url based on the upload  
directory...
