Installing wordmobi

Wordmobi and Python runtime must be installed in the same location, phone memory or memory card. Python runtime does not support applications in different locations.

First install Python 1.9.6 runtime (some phones like N79 may require an special PyS60 version, see comments at the end of the page ) and after Wordmobi 0.9.3. If you have problems when lunching file selection dialog, please use Wordmobi 0.9.3 with simple file selection (some E55 users are reporting that only this version is working in their phones). I tested the current version in S60 3rd and 5th edition phones (E71 and XM 5800)

There are requirements for Wordpress as well. Comments will work only with Wordpress 2.6.2 or newer.

Wordmobi saves all relevant data in the drive you have chosen, under directory {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir. The following directories are used:

  • {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir => wordmobi python files and configuration files
  • {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir\cache => temporary downloads and temporary htmls files used during preview. Its contents is cleared when wordmobi is closed.
  • {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir\images => snapshots taken
  • {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir\loc => locales
  • {drive}:\data\python\wordmobidir\res => resource images

Setup

Before using wordmobi, please setup your blog account, user details, proxy (if any) and access point. Proxy is supported, even if using authentication. If your access point is not listed, please, save it to your connections before starting wordmobi.

Wordmobi was designed to support any domain running wordpress with compatible XMLRPC API. Just set your blog address (for instance, http://www.mydomain.com or http://myblog.wordpress.com). If you have your blog running inside some subdirectory, like /my/blog, use http://www.mydomain.com/my/blog. Do not put any trailing slash and do not put xmlrpc.php at the end (they are automatically removed and just added when accessing your blog).

However, if your blog has a customized URL for XMLRPC API (not ending with xmlrpc.php), this URL will not be replaced. Just fill the blog address with you customized URL, including the php file name.

If you want to use blog view statistics, pay attention in the following points:

  • For people running blogs in wordpress.com, just take note of your API key and setup your account with it.
  • For blogs not hosted by wordpress, please read this page for tips about configuring the required plugin. Feedback is welcome since I do not have blogs outside wordpress.

If you are not receiving the blog view statistics, please do the following:

Usernames are case sensitive for wordpress, so take care when typing your username. Check if all fields does not have any trailer space.

Also enable installation of any application in your mobile phone, not only the certificated ones. In Settings->Applications->App. Manager allow all applications and disable certification checks.

It is necessary to activate xmlrpc support in wordpress for people running blogs in their own domains. Check

http://blogname/wp-admin/options-writing.php

for enabling it.

See this link and this. Blog running in wordpress domains have this already set.

I have had the same problems installing Python on my N79 - a hack including rompatcher solved this problems :-)

You have asked for feedback regarding the usage of wordmobi together with a Wordpress-Blog running on a other server as wordpress direct, it was absolutely no problem. I just used my adress, login and everything was in full function. My Wordpress is stock except a design and several plugins.

Thanks for your great tool!
