PloggerPress and Plogger 3?

Aug 1st, 2007 by Tim 11

I haven’t done much with PloggerPress for a while, so the fact that Plogger 3 is available took me by surprise. So if you are trying to use my notes on integrating Plogger with WordPress, these were written for version 2. I haven’t had chance to run version 3 myself yet. I hope they have made integration easier, because my notes are no more than a hack. It has new support for XML queries which is supposed to make creating plugins easier, but easier for who? Certainly not the end-user who now has to wait for some clever geek to create a new plugin for WordPress. Perhaps someone already has?

I have Ploggerpress running with Plogger 3 on my band’s site and it works fine.

Although integrating the wordpress theme doesn’t seem to work anymore. I have been tinkering with it but it remains themeless so far.

Any quiet evenings yet?
Like Ryan says, ploggerpress works with Plogger 3, but the integration just doesn’t work.

Ok, so I installed Plogger 3 Beta and tried to make it work. With Plogger 3 you can include the gallery from any directory so should be easier to integrate. BUT…

No matter how you do it you’ll get the error:
Cannot redeclare class streamreader in …

I guess this is where Ryan stopped when he upgraded. There seems to be a clash of class names between Plogger and WP. So for now you CANNOT integrate Plogger 3 and WordPress.

PloggerPress still seems to work, so your sidebar function and post functions are OK but to integrate fully into your site’s theme, I’d stick with version 2 for now. To be honest version 3 doesn’t look much different, though it probably is under the hood.

Ok, thank you. Too bad, I really liked the integration.

Do you know where I can get Plogger 2. The Plogger site seems to only offer version 3 now.

You are right. I can’t see Plogger 2 anywhere on the Plogger site. If you post the question on the plogger forum you might find it.

But Plogger 3 is not so bad. My plugin will put images in your sidebar etc.

And actually another approach might be to stick your plogger 3 in a page using an iframe.
<iframe src="http://yourdomain.com/plogger" width="470" height="800" frameborder="0" />

I also use the Plogger Press plugin with Plogger v3 and all is well. I’ve made some changes so image sets are supported (multiple images in a single post are considered a image set) and also fixed a problem with the caption display when slashes were used to escape quotes.

Tim, if you are interested in the changes just send me an e-mail and I will forward this to you.

Note the bit about build 492. Replacing these files from th Trac seems to have done the trick.

Tim, I’m trying to contact you about your PloggerPress plugin with regard to future development. I’ve used both the contact form and the Yahoo email address listed in the plugin, but am not sure if you have received either email. Could you please email me at the address I’ve provided with this post? Thanks in advance!
