The Blogging RPC Plugin implements the Blogger 1.0 API and the MetaWeblog API for Confluence to let you post Confluence news pages from any client that implements these APIs
plugin-compatibility-matrix: com.atlassian.plugin.repository.model.RepositoryException: Status code [500] returned while downloading: http://confluence-test.atlassian.com/plugin-repository/proxy.action?profile=jira&decorator=none&buildNumber=-1&repoClientVer=2.1.6&os=i386&javaVer=1.6.0_14&javaVendor=Sun+Microsystems+Inc.
Installation
This plugin can be installed via the plugin repository, uploaded via the normal web interface or installed in the confluence WEB-INF/lib directory.
Version 1.2.1 of this plugin is currently bundled with Confluence
Configuration
Once you have installed the plugin point your blog client at the confluence rpc url:
http://yourhost:port/rpc/xmlrpc
Select either the Blogger API or the MetaWeblog option as the blogging tool. (You may need to select a custom configuration for clients that already have the address for popular sites such as Blogger configured.)
Once you have setup your client and authenticated you should see every space you have permission to edit news items on as a list of blogs for the confluence site
Once you have your blog client configured, you can edit your blog posts as though you were using the wiki-markup mode on the website. If you write your post in standard wiki-markup, it will all be translated normally when posted, including macros. Note, however, that your blog client will not be able to interpret the markup and will present it as plain text.
Also, be careful that your client does not any html tags to your content before you save it. There is currently no conversion of html so be sure to configure your client to send only plain text (wiki markup).
Blog Post Titles You cannot repeat the same blog post title on the same day in Confluence.
The following sections detail how the specific API methods relate to confluence functionality:
MetaWeblog Method Functionality
Method
Description
newPost
Creates a new blog page in Confluence. Any categories set on the blog post will be converted to confluence labels.
editPost
Edits a post. The categories specified on the updated blog post will replace any labels that currently exist on the page in Confluence.
getPost
Returns a blog post specified by a given Id. The labels attached to the page in Confluence are returned as MetaWeblog categories.
getRecentPosts
Returns a list of recent blog posts for the specified space
getCategories
Returns all of the labels from the specified space as well as the 20 most popular global labels (if not already included) as metaweblog categories.
newMediaObject
This method is not currently implemented. You will need to use the confluence web interface to add attachments to blog pages.
Blogger Method Functionality
Method
Description
getUserBlogs
Returns a list of spaces in which the specified user can create or edit blog pages.
newPost
Creates a new blog page in Confluence.
editPost
Edits a post.
getRecentPosts
Returns a list of recent posts for a specified space. The client can specify how many posts are returned.
deletePost
Puts the specified post in the trash. A space administrator needs to purge the trash to remove the post permanantly
getPost
Returns a struct containing information about a single news page
getUserInfo
Returns a struct containing information about the authenticated user.
getTemplate
This method is not supported. You need to use the normal confluence admin screens to view/change templates.
setTemplate
This method is not supported. You need to use the normal confluence admin screens to view/change templates.
For all methods the publish flag must be set to true. You can not save a draft of your changes for publication later.
For the Blogger API the title tag must be specified in the content like <title>My Title<title>. Some blog clients do this automatically, but others (like MarsEdit) require you to put this in the body of the post. Don't worry, it will appear correctly in confluence after you post.
This release fixes a bug with the 1.1 release that allows users to
view other users private labels on a blog post. This is a
highly recommended upgrade for all users
This is the initial version of the Blogging RPC Plugin containing an
implementation of the Blogger 1.0 API. This version of the
plugin cannot be installed via the web interface or the
plugin repository. Please visit the documentation
page for instructions on manual download and installation in the
confluence WEB_INF/lib directory.

Woah! Very cool!
I would like to be able to post to ordinary pages as well as news pages via a blogging API - though I appreciate that thinking this through is a bit tricky - how do you represent the hierarchy of pages in a space in a blog-like manner? I thought the best way might be to use something similar to Blojsom meta-data so you could add things like "meta-confluence-parent=home", "meta-confluence-tags=cool, blogging, amazing". Or should these be represented as wiki markup for consistency's sake?
The reason I'm keen to see all of Confluence exposed through a blogging API is that it's quite attractive to leverage the organisational and offline composition features of a desktop blogging client. At present, I write wiki pages in BBEdit, then paste them in to the web form on Confluence.

I'll have to agree with Mike here, getting it working properly with blogs/news pages is the first aim. I think being able to support different blogging APIs that implement things like tags/labels would be the next priority.
As for using a blogging API for editing pages, it would be possible I guess. Though I'm not sure how you would represent the page hierarchy as a flat list of blog posts within the offline client.

I don't disagree - just expressing a long term desire
There's obviously problems with expressing page hierarchies in "flat" blogging terms. In my imagined solution, spaces equate to Metaweblog categories. My best guess at relationships between pages and so on is some sort of pseudo-metadata, for example:
======
This is the title
This is some rest of the page.
Pseudo-metadata follows...
meta-confluence-parent=home
meta-confluence-children=more stuff, yet more stuff, and still more stuff
meta-confluence-labels=cool, blogged
======
Blojsom uses this approach. I've just nicked the idea. It's very easy to maintain in blog posts.

If you're going to use RFC-822, why not use the standard header fields where you can? This would also make a mail gateway that much easier to implement.

Of course, some of that information would be duplicating what the Blogger API is providing (username, token, date). And you would need to be able to put the fields in the body of the message in order to use a normal mail client to submit a post with any special fields. Which almost defeats the purpose. Hmm.

Hi Jay,
There isn't actually any extra configuration that you can do with this plugin once installed. The URL in the configuration section of this page is what you need to point you blogging client at so it can talk xmlrpc to confluence.
The error page that you are seeing when you go to _http://host:port/rpc/xmlrpc_ in your browser is a generic confluence error because you have called the confluence rpc handler without specifying any actual methods to run.

When I use the Blogger API I get no error message at all...it just does nothing. In fact, I can't even click the "continue" button to go to the next step in the process. When I use the MetaWeblog API I get the following message: "Error retrieving blogs: There was an error detecting your blog settings. Click OK and re-enter the username and password. To manually configure your blog, click Cancel". I double (and triple) checkd the UN and PSWD and they are correctly entered.
I am so excited to see this might be possible. This is exactly what we are looking for to make it super easy for people to post. Thank you for your hard work!

Hi Jenine,
I downloaded flock 0.7.11 to try with this. On my local conf install I can setup flock with the blog information and it must do something right because it recognises that there is two spaces I have permission to post to and adds them as blogs. So this is slightly further then you have got, what version of flock are you using?
I get a problem when I try to actually post a new blog, it just sits there timing out, then says the server is unavailable. Looking in the settings it looks like you need to re-add the url, and api settings to each blog but each time I save those fields they dissappear on reopening.
In your environment have you been able to get any other blogging clients to work?
In the Blogging:Detecting Blog Screen, It tells me it cannot find the API, so I click the next button.
On the next screen I type in the following:
XML-RPC API: MetaWebBlogAPI (from the drop-down box)
BlogID: myID (Not sure what to place in that box)
AccessPoint: http://ourTestBox/rpc/xmlrpc
It will then ask for my userid and password, which I verified it was correct and I received a same error message that Jenine received when using the MetaWebBlogAPI.

What you have listed there worked for me. Although as I said I couldn't actually get it to work once getting past that point. What version of confluence and the blogging plugin are you using?

Yes, that version of confluence and blogging RPC plugin should work with the metaweblog API which you are trying to setup.
I used w.blogger while developing the plugin, so that one should work. I have also been testing the plugin lately with BlogDesk which works for me as well. (Both of these are windows clients)
The error message:

The error message: RPC handler object metalog not found and no default handler registered desktop
suggests that the blogging RPC plugin hasn't been installed properly or that remote access has been disabled since it can't find the rpc method to call.
The options screen in BlogDesk that I am using looks like this
I also looked into the Plugin Repository and the status is enabled and there are no error messages.
There were a couple of issues I did notice in the log files. They are listed below. It looks like the logs are telling me that these plugins are in an "excluded list", which is it appears that it is contained in a "module descriptor". I am not sure how to fix that. Can you advise? Do those messages state why I cannot get the plugin to work?

It appears that the RPC handler exception is due to the fact that the plugin has not been installed properly.

This is likely the cause of the problems. It looks like no remote API calls are working in your environiment. Unfortunately I have no idea what is causing this problem. I would suggest raising a support call with Alassian as this seems go beyond a simple plugin install issue.

Shannon, I tried using Blog Desk and I keep getting exceptions. When I configure Flock, the good news is that I will get a listing of all of the available objects, like spaces and pages. However, when I try to publish a page in Confluence, I get an error with a posting. I will send the attachment to you.
I am working with Confluence on the ticket above and they said that the Remote API works correctly. I am running some tests with the plugin below:

thanks david
unfortunately this is not accurately what i am looking for. i don´t want to post news from the news page, i want a separate (restricted) page where news can be posted which cannot be viewed by everybody. probably i will handle this problem using comments instead.

Hi Sebastian. you don't need a plugin. Confluence can do that out of the box. To have a separate news/blog (you can choose to make it restricted, be viewed by selected users), simply create another space. post your news from there. Define your space permission, and news will also inherit the same space permissions.

Is it possible to get the plugin to convert <a href> links into the relevant confluence wiki markup when making a post at all? When using ecto's rich editor to create links it creates HTML (as expected) which unintentionally breaks when posting to confluence.

To create a second blog, you have two options:
{blog-posts:label=foo}Where 'foo' is one of your blog types. 'bar' could be the other. Or, whatever you choose.

unfortunately this is not accurately what i am looking for. i don´t want to post news from the news page, i want a separate (restricted) page where news can be posted which cannot be viewed by everybody. probably i will handle this problem using comments instead.

To have a separate news/blog (you can choose to make it restricted, be viewed by selected users), simply create another space. post your news from there. Define your space permission, and news will also inherit the same space permissions.
hope this helps!

When using ecto's rich editor to create links it creates HTML (as expected) which unintentionally breaks when posting to confluence.
Should I create a ticket for this?

The reason why you're seeing in the error is most probably the invalid link. I've fixed this up. However, the updated information won't show until after a while. Try checking back again after a couple of hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Has anyone tried/managed to get this plugin working with the delicious daily posting functionality? The parameters delicious ask for are:
