View Article  Update on WP2 and uploads
Catching up on my feeds this morning (it's been a while) I caught this item from the Ecto blog on the whole WP 2 upload issue.  They have a simple work around, if you can edit your WP 2 files, that I've tested on one of my blogs and it seems to work well:
 
UPDATE: After a few back and forth emails with Ryan Boren from WPvia the above mailing-list, fixes were made and uploads now work again.To get the current 2.0 working, please apply the following changes to wp-includes/functions-post.php:

Replace line 897:

$new_file = $uploads['path'] . "/$filename";

with:

$new_file = $upload['path'] . "/$filename";

Yes, that's one single 's' you have to remove...

Replace line 912:

return array('file' => $new_file, 'url' => $url);

with

return array('file' => $new_file, 'url' => $url, 'error' => false);

However... with these fixes in place, you cannot specify destinationdirectories anymore. In ecto, if you reveal the attachment settingssheet, you must leave the “Destination:” field blank. Ifyou prefer to specify your own upload sub-directories, use the xmlrpc.php file from an earlier 2.0 beta version, which I kept around.

Now ... this is a temporary fix.  I hope that the WP folks will get back to all of us in the offline editor space soon with a game plan.  Regardless ... kudos to Ecto and thanks for the tip.

View Article  Hey, I can't upload images to my Wordpress.com or Wordpress 2 blog!
Neither can I.  So, recently both Wordpress.com went live/out of beta/public and over the holidays WP itself went 2.0 (yahoo!) and I really like both platforms.  Hey I've gotten two friends blogging using WP.com and we suggest it for people just starting out.  I also really like WP for a DIY install. But ...
 
We've been getting a number of support e-mails that image uploading isn't working using Qumana.  Okay, you're not nuts.  Ads by AdGenta.comYou're not doing anything wrong.  In fact, neither is Qumana.  The problem is that WP changed the way uploads are handled.  In WP 1.5.x the XML-RPC scripts would point remote clients, like Qumana, to the correct directory for uploading.  Cool.  Now ... um well ... it doesn't.  In fact the whole schema is different including a year and month dir.
 
What now?  We're going through the support forums and have e-mails into the WP folks.  There are some hacks going around, but they all require installing other plugins or tweaking your install.  But we're looking at seeing how remote clients can get back in the game here.
 
In the meantime ... you can write your post in Qumana, then upload and edit the post in your WP admin area.  Now, if you're using Flickr ... you can just copy that URL and use the magic Insert HTML button.
 
Watch for updates here.

View Article  Using AdGenta for guest bloggers ... case in point
As you know, I use lots of searches for find mentions of Qumana/AdGenta, Lektora, and all the Q people.  MindFyre pinged up recently with a great review of Q.  Now again MindFrye has pinged up ... this time with a great example of what we're trying to do with AdGenta.
 
See the author of the blog is taking a vacation.  Of course he wants content to continue to flow.  So he's put out the call for guest bloggers.  Makes sense, of course, but what's in it for the guest blogger?  Come on linky love only goes so far.  Read this:
All guest bloggers will be allowed to link to their blog/website on each and every post made, here. Guest bloggers are allowed to post on any subject, although individuals who are posting on the same general subjects as this blog will be considered, first. As an added incentive, guest bloggers will be able to place Adgenta (Qumana), Amazon Associates, CJ, and Zoundry affiliate ads/links within their posts, using their own IDs.
Ads by AdGenta.comBingo!  This is exactly what we're talking about!  Guest blog, put your ads in your posts on their site and ... you get not only credit, but a little cash for your work.  Heck with Qumana you'd be able to write a post for your blog and just cross-post it to another.
 
This is it.  This is one of the best example of what we're talking about.  Thanks!
