blogit.vim

This script for vim provides some commands to list, edit and publish articles on a wordpress blog.

Dependencies

  • vim-python

Installation

Get package from the Files tab and uncompress it in your ~/.vim directory. Then create or edit the ~/.vim/passwods.vim file:

let blogit_username='Your blog user name'
let blogit_password='Your blog password. Not the API-key.'
let blogit_url='https://your.path.to/xmlrpc.php'

In addition you can set these settings in your vimrc:

let blogit_unformat='pandoc --from=html --to=rst --reference-links'
let blogit_format='pandoc --from=rst --to=html --no-wrap'

The blogit_format and blogit_unformat each contain a shell command to filter the blog entry text (no meta data) before a commit and after an edit, respectively. In the example we use pandoc to edit the blog in reStructuredText.

If you have multible blogs replace blogit in blogit_username etc. by a name of your choice (e.g. your_blog_name) and use:

let blog_name='your_blog_name'

or

let b:blog_name='your_blog_name'

to switch which is used by default. If a blog post/comment/list is open in the current buffer that is used instead. To explicitly select which blog should be used with the commands ls, new, this and edit add your_blog_name as and aditional argument, e.g.:

Blogit edit 42 your_blog_name

blogit comes with a vim-help-file (doc/blogit.txt). See ":help add-local-help" (from vim) for an howto install it.

Development version

Checkout the git repository with this command:

git clone http://git.symlink.me/pub/romain/blogit.git
