Feature request: blogging via Open Live Writer.
-
Open Live Writer is an open source WYSIWYG editor which significantly facilitates blogging. You can, for example, create, publish and edit posts without a need to open Your blog dashboard in a browser. Many basic actions become much easier and faster to do, e.g. inserting and labelling images, post tagging, and so on.
Currently it is possible to conduct and manage Your blog via Open Live Writer on Google Blogger, WordPress and some other platforms. I'd love to see Vivaldi blogs among them .

@ThomasLeigh I had a look at the first-run installer for OLW.
Vivaldi.net uses wordpress for the backend, so it should be possible to use the manual configuration option under "Other Services".
However, we would need to know the wordpress "hostname" and "wp_path". A community admin may be able to Help with that, but they won't be available until they get back to work on monday.
-
@LonM, thank You for pointing this out. Which way of reaching the Community Admin You could recommend?
-
@ThomasLeigh I pinged them on an internal chat - if they don't get back in a reply here I'll try to follow it up.
-
@LonM, Fingers still crossed !
-
I'm down to give this a shot if it ever gets released.
-
@LonM Any luck?
-
@ThomasLeigh none yet. Il update if I hear anything back.
-
@ThomasLeigh thanks for reaching out and sharing this request. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I've looked into it and unfortunately it's not possible for us to support Open Live Writer as it requires us to enable A WordPress feature that will expose us to brute force attacks unfortunately.

Thank You for responding - sad to hear that. if I get it correctly, I suppose there is no other way to make it happen...? Do You think that on the Open Live Writer side anything could be done to make the whole thing secure for Vivaldi?

@ThomasLeigh If you have a github account, you could file an issue here: https://github.com/OpenLiveWriter/OpenLiveWriter/issues asking if support would be possible.

you could file an issue here
Thank You. Can I point out any specific technical issue or action needed to take - which could help to the OLW developer?
-
@ThomasLeigh I'm not knowledgeable enough to know the inner workings of OLW unfortunately. All I know is that vivaldi.net blogs seem to use some version of wordpress, but that the xmlrpc method offered by OLW can't be used.
-
XMLRPC Would be definitly a Function that should be added!
