I am unable to sign in on Joomla site from Blogg-X .... under Joomla settings when trying to verify I get the following message: Password verification failed
FTP Username and Password Verifies properly
I installed all as suggested and made permission settings as specified in FAQ
I also tried various settings in terms of file/directory ownership and permissions from the host console
I think this project (Unfortunately) is dead in the water.
I had this working on 1.0.12 but after a 1.0.13 install it won't. Apparently Joomla has done something with password encryption in 1.0.13 and it has hosed a lot of extensions.
Let's hope the creator of Blogg-X can update this as it is a real sweet program. Especially since you type in a long article in joomla and you click save and find out the darn cookie expired.
This looks liek the perfect tool - BUT - I am getting the dreaded no connection errors as many others. I am on Dreamhost - done all the FAQ's and so on but no luck. Any help? I am on Joomla 1.011 and blogg-x .12
I am also running Blogg-X 2.12 and was able to use it prior to the 1.0.13 upgrade of Joomla. After the upgrade Blogg-X will not connect. Did the Joomla developers change the password hash from version 1.0.12 to 1.0.13? I checked the table jos_users which is what is called from the mambot when you log in. It appears it is expecting a clear text password... I could be wrong, but maybe that is the problem.
Evidently Blogg-X has also been affected by the change in handling passwords that occurred with the Joomla 1.0.13 update. As of now Blogg-X will NOT function correctly with this version because the password hash passed from Blogg-X to Joomla no longer works correctly and can't successfully validate against the Joomla database tables. I am taking a look at the code and will provide an update once I have one available.
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.
