If you edit a post that uses a different input format, that is maintained, but on new posts, the default is used. What's done is making sure that whatever Input Format you've set as your default in the Drupal UI is used when you post from MarsEdit (or any other xmlrpc client). Oh well, a solution will turn up eventually in the meantime, thanks much for helping me learn more about the issue and confirm some things! For longer posts, that's a deal-breaker that shoots down all that MarsEdity goodness for me. And the created post is actually formatted fine in Drupal (within the limitations of the Filtered HTML format).īut if I then edit the post for any reason, formatting goes all kablooey the body text becomes one long paragraph, with no line breaks. What I have is this: I can create a blog posting via MarsEdit, using the blog's default input format of Filtered HTML (that's the only choice MarsEdit offers). I'm disappointed to hear that Drupal and MarsEdit aren't going to play nicely in the way I was hoping. (So, out of curiosity, what is the interesting thing that you succeeded in getting Drupal + MarsEdit to do?) I guess I misread something somewhere I thought that you had gotten MarsEdit to display and allow all of a blog's possible input formats, not just the default format. FYI! )Įasy Drupal Admin Manual, Drupal questions, other stuff for the newbie:
: ) I happened to come across this short thread that notes the difference.
(BTW, for anyone reading this down the road: There's a Filter Default module, and a Default Filter module, a wonderfully confusing setup.

Thanks for the assistance! The fact that it works for some is a great piece of news I'll eagerly try to find out how to get it working over here too. Well, it must be something odd about my Drupal installation, so I'll poke around.

Other created formats, like Full HTML, just don't show.įor you, it's working simply via use of the latest stable version of Filter Default, with no extra patches, right? I went back from the dev version to 5.x-1.0 (did update.php too, which reported nothing), and restarted MarsEdit just in case, but still nothing: whether a new post, or editing the settings for a blog, the only Text Filter options remain "None" and the Drupal default (i.e., Filtered HTML). I really appreciate the help, and am sorry to report that it's not working for me. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light! (The blogging client developer doesn't have the answer, but is responsive to questions.)įYI, I've discussed the issue in a little more detail at Or let me know if there's some specific piece of info I can research to help solve the issue. I doubt that this post contains the info needed for someone to puzzle out the answer, but I ask on the off chance that someone's already wrestled with the same topic. The question: Is there any way to get Drupal to report an input method other than the default one, when polled by a blog client? Neither does the Filter Default module, which can set input format defaults by role Drupal still reports only the main default to the blogging client. Setting the Filtered HTML settings to use "Line break converter", just like my Full HTML settings, doesn't help. It then all needs to be re-edited manually within the Drupal site, which shoots down the benefit of using a blogging client.ĥ. If the default format is the much-safer Filtered HTML, the resulting post on the Drupal site loses much formatting – in particular, line breaks.
But using Full HTML as the default input format, which is always available to any user, is a big security risk!Ĥ. If the default format is Full HTML, there's no problem with the post it comes out nicely. The blogging client makes its post using the above default format that Drupal reported.ģ.
Drupal replies with the default format (such as Filtered HTML).Ģ. The blogging client (MarsEdit) polls the Drupal site to ask what input formats are available. I've run into one major problem using MarsEdit with Drupal, though: input formats. For some people, such clients can be much quicker and smoother than working through a slow browser. Some of you may be using blogging clients - standalone desktop applications like Ecto, MarsEdit, etc.
