I have integrated support for uploading large files (up to 100mb) remotely via Blogg-X.  This works regardless of the php.ini settings by breaking the file into smaller peices and reassembling on the server once the upload is complete.  Great addition to support the uploading of large images and video.

Action Shot:

Here is another preview of Blogg-X 3.0...

I am approaching a point where I will need additional beta testers for the new version of Blogg-X.  The testers must have access to both Joomla 1.0.x and Joomla 1.5 version non production servers.

Please email me at admin (at) iobinary (dot) com and let me know your environment and if you will have a little extra time to use the newest version.  Also pass along your PHP and MySQL version installed on the test servers.

Thanks...

First tests of development version of Blogg-X have been great. Initial version is working on Windows XP SP3, Mac OSX 10.5, and Ubuntu Linux (32 bit and 64 bit).

I will post more information in the future as things progress.

Thanks, chris

I've been away from Blogg-X and iobinary.com for far too long.  Things in real life have been very demanding and most of my attention had to be focused there.

I have again begun working on Blogg-X and would eventually like to change the technology that its based on from Java to a newer and more flexible technology.  I have got some initial tests done in a new framework that appears to be cross platform and may actually allow for a much better version of Blogg-X without all the hacks I've had to create to make up for Java's poor support of HTML.

I am going to have to spend some time working through posts in the forum and reviewing my old notes.  Also I most likely will release a version of Blogg-X for Joomla 1.5 but it will/must only be a compatiblity update and will not include any bug fixes.

Thanks...

Can you please send me the output of the phpinfo file that you can find in the administration panel of Joomla!. Please capture it some way and email it to admin at iobinary dot com. This may help me finally nail down what is blocking the XML-RPC communication that Blogg-X uses. If you are unfamiliar with the phpinfo command or just want more information here is a link to phpfreaks with some useful information.

Update (9-23-07) I have only recieved a couple phpinfo files and I haven't got a large enough range yet to start to figure out what the problem is. Once I get a few more in I should have a better picture of the problem. Thanks.

You can find the Blogg-X 2.13 release on the downloads page. Please keep any comments in the forum. NOTE: this version has only been updated to support Joomla! 1.0.13 and is backward compatible with the older versions of Joomla!. Also there is a new mambot included which needs to be installed on all the sites that this new version will be communicating with.

Enjoy...
