With thanks going out to Mark Drew for being my guinea pig / uber beta tester, my metaWeblog blogging Eclipse plugin now works with BlogCFC as well as WordPress.
One thing Mark noticed: when doing edits BlogCFC doesn’t auto paragraph your text, it works properly when adding an entry though. Mark seemed to think this was a bug in BlogCFC, but I don’t know for sure (both adds and edits work when using WordPress so I am inclined to think that is true).
I’ve been referring to it as the Afae editor with blogging, but that’s kind of misleading. The plugin works by itself (as can all the Afae plugins). You can post blogs and never install the Afae editor if you do not wish to. Just assign your favorite HTML editor to handle file types of .blog, and you’ll be all set. If you are into CFEclipse, Flex Builder, PHPEclipse, RadRails, or whatever you can use those built in editors for writing entries if you wish.
I also updated the Entry View to sort by date created by default so the display of past entries is no longer random, and the password field looks and acts like a password field.
You can download it on the Afae page. You just need the afae_editor_blogger_nightly.zip plugin to get the blogging capabilities, and you can install the afae_editor_nightly.zip if you’d like to have Afae color coding (again any HTML editor plugin will do).
