Howto: Hack the Metaweblog API to work with Simple Tags
Recently I was approached by Jake Mauer who uses Windows Live Writer in combination with ExpressionEngine’s Metaweblog API Module (MWAM) to update his weblog.
He’s using Simple Tags and setup Live Writer’s keywords-field to populate his tag-field in ExpressionEngine but noticed that the entries don’t show up in the tag-list when a tag is clicked.
Due to the complete lack of extension hooks in the MWAM posting, updating or deleting entries in Live Writer will not be noticed by Simple Tags. Hence the tag-table won’t be up-to-date unless you manually update the entries directly in the Control Panel or rebuild your index under Modules > Simple Tag.
While I normally don’t advocate hacks to core-files, sometimes there’s no alternative to make things work.
