Is any body is there, is any body reading this problem or not? I even send my problem to moderator and creator Mr Chris, but he also seems too busy. and i am all down. because i cant go ahead with website development. i cant add articles to my website, just because its length is bit more and yet i dont know is it a problem of Joomla or Blogg x. i can upload the same from joomla so certainly its not joomla problem, but its impossible to work that way and upload all articles to joomla that way.
I too am a Mac user and would like to use v2.13. Since the latest version, 2.12, is not compatible with Joomla 1.0.13, and I'm not willing to downgrade Joomla to 1.0.12 just to use this component, I can't use it until the Mac version is updated. Why were all the other versions updated, but not the Mac version?
BTW this is a wonderful tool (I tried it on Windows) and thanks for the good work!
Dear Chrish, First of all your Blogg-x has make life pretty easy for joomla users, many many congratulations for u. Right now i am using Blogg -x 2.12 version as i can not be able to install version 2.13 on my linux platform.
Well my problem is that when i work with small articles say size of which is around 140kb in xml, my Blogg-x works fine and i can see the the published article in my website.All works fine. But when i try to work with some article of say 300kb size, Blogg-x shows me that article succeefully published, but i am not been able to see that article on my website. I have tried to publish that article many times but still it doesnt show on website.Is there any size limitation with Blogg-x or with joomla in your knowledge, Or what can be the problem?
Even when i load last published article it is not what i published last one (of 300 kb+ size), but the previous one of size 140kb.
Please help me regarding that, because i am not been able to add contets to my website. I am using this fantastic tool from last few days only, so if i made any mistale.
I finally got it to work - but I'm not sure how. I reinstalled it, uninstalled it, then installed everything from scratch again, and it started working. At this point, I got the end results I needed, so I won't worry about how I got there.
I've installed the newest 2.13 version and cannot connect. I've never used the component before, so I can't say I've ever gotten it to work. User name and ftp both verify. I just put in "media" for the media directory, assuming the "base directory" would be added. Other than that, everything matches the document requirements. The mambot is also 2.13 and is PUBLISHED (which docs don't mention )
I'm running Java 5.11, but I hope that wouldn't be a problem.
I do get the screen which lists possible initialization problems. Since I can verify, etc. that rules out the first 3 or 4 items. The generic "connection problems" one is too generic to comment on. I think I am having time out problems, since it loaded a couple of the categories into the combo box, although everything is inactive since it's in "offline" mode.
I want to second this (so you know it's more than one person) I'm currently in China, although servers I'm working on are in the US. For whatever reason, although I can get to the server either way, the proxy route is about 4-5 times faster and about twice as reliable. It's a private proxy server, and must have user name and password.
Currently, I'm having problems getting Blogg-X 2.13 to connect completely, and I suspect it's because of timeouts / slow connections.
It may be that you need to install an older version of Java.
I found that I was getting the same error (the missing MSVR71). I found I didn't have Java installed. (I know... seems unrelated, but read on) So I went to Java.com and installed it. After reboot, I started getting a different error. "Main class not found" Still no success
So I went to the iobinary site and checked out the 'requirements' for Blogg-x... An older version of Java was required... So I downloaded the version that was listed in the req's.... and uninstalled the later version of Java... and now it works... and works well.
To sum up: After installing Java 6, I found Java 5 was needed. So I uninstalled the new Java and installed the older one. The only thing is... I don't know _why_ I stopped getting the MSVCR error. I lost track of that bit.
Hopefully it's as easy as installing the older Java release.... Because I am using Blogg-x on Vista.
