PlutoEdit Documentation

It's not even a planet anymore

Current version: 0.7b
Homepage: http://raven-seo-tools.com/pluto-edit/

Requirements

• PHP 5
• Blog supporting the MetaWeblog API (WordPress, Drupal, Movable Type, TextPattern, etc.)
  Extensive testing has been done with WordPress 2.5

Installation

1. Copy all files to your server (including the hidden .htaccess file)
2. Open config.php and set PE_PATH to the PlutoEdit directory
   e.g. If you installed PlutoEdit to a directory accessible at http://www.example.com/blog/plutoedit/, then the line in config.php should read:
   define('PE_PATH', '/blog/plutoedit/');
   Note the leading and trailing slashes
3. Open .htaccess and set the RewriteBase to be the same as PE_PATH from above.
   e.g. RewriteBase /blog/plutoedit/
4. Make the temp folder writeable by your web server (used as temporary storage for file uploads)
   chmod 777 temp

Blog Configuration

Adding your blogs to the config.php file requires setting the following parameters for each blog:

• Server
  Name of your server, without the http://
  e.g. example.com
• Endpoint
  Path to the XML-RPC endpoint
  e.g. /blog/xmlrpc.php
• Username
  Username that you would like to use for managing the blog
  
• Password
  Password for the username entered above
  
• Name
  Display name used by PlutoEdit. This can be anything you want and is simply used to help you distinguish between your multiple blogs.
  
• WYSIWYG
  Set to true to enable the rich text HTML editor.

Configuring multiple blogs

Uncomment the block of text in config.php for the second blog and set the parameters. Duplicate this block (including the $i++ line) to add additional blogs

Each blog should have its entry similar to the following code:

$i++;
$Blogs[$i]['server'] = "example.com";
$Blogs[$i]['endpoint'] = "/blog/xmlrpc.php";
$Blogs[$i]['username'] = "username";
$Blogs[$i]['password'] = "password";
$Blogs[$i]['name'] = "Title of my blog";
$Blogs[$i]['wysiwyg'] = true;

Need Help?

Use the auto-config wizard included in the distribution.

That's it!

You should be all set. Navigate your web browser to the directory where you installed PlutoEdit.

Login with the credentials from the first blog listed in your config.php file.
