wBloggar is a Windows freeware application to manage blogs that can be used with Tiki. This document explains how to setup wBloggar to work with Tiki.
Any application that you like implementing the Blogger XMLRPC API can be used. Blogs can also be managed using Tiki itself.

Setting up your account

This is the first screen displayed when you start wBloggar: In this screen you should enter your tiki username and password as you use it in Tiki. Then once in the wBloggar application you should enter file->account_connection and configure the Tiki server. |
Setting up the Tiki server

Enter the Tiki IP address or the tiki hostname (for example www.mytiki.org) in the Host field. Then enter the path to the xmlrpc.php file that is distributed within Tiki in the Page field, for example: /tiki/xmlrpc.php if you installed Tiki at the Document Root of your server, the port should normally be 80 unless you changed it and the timeout can be left in 30 seconds. If everything is OK you are ready to use wBloggar to edit Tiki weblogs! |
