I guess Photon has updated to include support for WP 1.5. It only works with iPhoto, so all you PC people are out. Has anyone tried it out yet or figured it out yet?
There is Blog ID and Access Point, not really sure what to put in there.

I installed it, but like you stuck on blog id and access point ???
Posted 4 years ago #
I think access point is http://www.yourdomain.com/xmlrpc.php as the same is required for Flickr but I cant get that to work either.
As for Blog ID - no idea.

got photon to create a new category-- but otherwise it says "Server Error"
Tried numbers, the word "Wordpress" and others for the BlogID, and like what's been said, possibly the access point is the "xmlrpc.php"

From the help--
What’s an Access Point? and what’s my Blog ID?
‘Access Point’, ‘Blog ID’, and ‘Platform’ are three absolutely vital pieces of information Photon uses to communicate with your blogging software. ‘Platform’ in itself is not a difficult question to answer; it should be quite well known to you whether you use Movable Type™ or TypePad™ to power your weblog, though the other two may pose some difficulty.
Movable Type users:
Your blog’s access point is the location of its XML-RPC server, found in your Movable Type installation directory with the name mt-xmlrpc.cgi. For example: http://www.example.com/mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
Your blog ID can be printed into any template using the template tag <$MTBlogID$>, and can alternately be found in the location bar of your browser while you’re logged in to Movable Type. For example: http://www.example.com/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=menu&blog_id=2
... does anyone know this for WordPress?

found this:
Question: What do I put in the Access Point field in the account screen?
Answer: The URL to the xmlrpc interface for your blog system. If you are using WordPress then the URL would be http://www.example.com/xmlrpc.php
Question: What do I put in the Blog ID field in the account screen?
Answer: This is the ID your blog system gives your account. If you are not sure what value that is then try putting "1" to see if that works.
Question: Are there any plans to have Photon work with other blog systems?
Answer: Yes, other blog systems that support the MetaWeblog API will be added on a request basis.

I can add a thumbnail so it appears on my blog as the entry and then click on 'more' it shows a larger version wiht I have added as extended entry but also show the standard entry, so you see the photo twice.
Would be nice to have the thumbnail link to to larger version, even if it just pops open a blank window with the image in.

Is anyone still having problems getting Photon to work with WordPress?
Posted 4 years ago #
yeah I got probs, it seems to connect only when I get it just to put up the title of the photo.
I can't get the photo or thumbnail to work, it just says server error!
What did urbanmac do to get it working?
same here, i am able to create categories, and connect to the blog, but once the file appears to be uploaded the result is a server 803 error within the iPhoto export progress window.

I dont think anyone has gotten this to work!
Is Photon only available in Tar or can you dowload a zip version?

The problem is that you are trying to define your upload path, the upload path is controlled in wordpress, so example
if you wordpress upload path is http://www.yourblog.com/assets
and you want you uploads to go there leave the paths blank in the photon blank.
if you want them to go to another directory after assets then just add it like this
albums/
this will fix your server error 803

I was able to get it to work with WP1.5, but it made every photo a post.
Posted 4 years ago #
it doesn't work for me unfortunately. the iPhoto dialog still gives me a server error.
what if the blog ID is not "1"?
Posted 4 years ago #
update: it does not say "server error 810" or "server error 803" or anything - just a plain "server error"...
Posted 4 years ago #
I sort of got it working. http://blog.jinxydesign.com/?cat=2&paged=6
This is what I got with an out of the box install.
Needs some work!
jaredly - did you get Photon to post to the category you selected? If so, how? Since i upgraded to Strayhorn, I get "server error" and it posts only to the general category.

I've got this working, and it's really nice! I'm not sure if this is just me or if it's a bug in the codebase, but I found that there was a bug in the file xmlrpc.php that was gumming up the works. In my case, it was on line 767 which previsouly read: $struct['htmlUrl'] = wp_specialchars(get_category_link($cat['cat_ID']);XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
And BTW, the Blog ID should be 0. That's ZERO.
Thanks, I'll try when I get home. just to be clear the line should look like?:
$struct["htmlUrl"] = wp_specialchars(get_category_link($cat["cat_ID"]));
Edited: xmlrpc.php is working. I have a feeling I've got blog ID = 1. I'll try that.
My xmlrpc file works ok, I've reinstalled Photon and tried IDs from 0 upwards. Still no dice.

I read through this post a bunch and finally got photon working. Here is how I did it.
Blog ID =0
Access Point=http://www.natewarner.com/blog/xmlrpc.php
you have to point to your specific xmlrpc.php file's location which could be http://www.yourblog.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
Upload Path: http://natewarner.com/blog/wp-content
Make sure to go into Miscellaneous Options and allow file uploads. Use the Suggested URI for the upload path. Bling. It should work now.
Is the upload path http://natewarner.com/blog/wp-content specified in the Photon Setings? I think it was blank or /photonimagefolder for 1.2.
Posted 4 years ago #
That path is specified in the Miscellaneous Options tab in the WP admin pages.

Tried "default" as blog ID?
Posted 4 years ago #
(I'm not sure that will work - I had the same problem with blog ID when I tried Marsedit just now, read somewhere to input "default" instead and it worked - thought it might be the same issue. Then again I wouldn't know cos I just came back to Wordpress after a long spell with Textpattern! Good to be back.)

I'm trying to make this work, but get the error: Photon could not fetch the category listing for “Mikofox's Cabin Fever Blog�. The server replied “Bad login/pass combination.�.
Username and Password, should this be the Wordpress Plog login or the login to my server admin?
Posted 4 years ago #
Got it to work and retrieve my categories!
As said above every photo gets it's own post entry. Ideally one would want to show the thumbnails in the post, clickable to open the full size image. Needs some work, to make more sense than just using the mail feature in iPhoto together with John Blade's wp-mail.php hack.
