Blog API: A complete rundown

Last modified: May 8, 2009 - 07:45

GotDrupal.com has provided a comprehensive video about Blog API settings and configuration. Here are some points to remember when setting up your Drupal site to use Blog API.

  • Blog API will work with any content type, not just nodes from Blog module (see next item)
  • You won’t be able to edit additional fields (in the blog client software) which were added to content types via CCK
  • Support for the display of images is a result of making sure the Input Format set for the content type has the <img> tag in the HTML filter
  • Node access could be the culprit if you are having problems connecting after having set permissions to create/edit/delete content types. (see next item)
  • You can fix node access permissions by heading to admin/content/node-settings (Post settings) and clicking Rebuild permissions
  • Make sure you assign the role which has the administer content with blog api to the right users
