Joomla tutorial: Configure the Flock blog editor for Joomla publishing

. Posted in Joomla tutorials - Joomla extension tutorials

In this tutorial I'll show you how to set up the blog editor in the Flock browser for use with Joomla. This way, you have an even easier way of publishing articles to your Joomla! blog.
IMPORTANT: The Flock browser has been discontinued.

If you haven' already done so, please read this article on how to set up Joomla for use with Flock and other blog editors.

Click the account settings button in the widgets bar of Flock.

Then, choose the "Self-hosted blog" option to start the setup.

flock-blog-types-menu

You'll be presented with this screen - enter the full URL to your blog.

flock-setup-my-blog

Click "Next". Flock will now try to detect the settings for your blog.

After a while, you might see this screen:

flock-detecting-blog-2

Click "Next".

This is where you set up your connection. Use the MetaWeblog API.

The XML-RPC URL to your site is http://www.yoursite.com/xmlrpc/index.php

Enter your Username and Password.
