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.

Simple Tags 1.6.5 has been released.
Changelog:
- New feature: Added
{exp:simpletag:tags}as a means to generically output tags and their popularity. This can be used to create your own clouds, lists, graphs or whatever you may conceive to display popular tags. - Bugfix: The parameter
trans=“true”in{exp:simpletag:cumulus}was not working as expected. - Bugfix: When using multiple custom fields as tag-fields in one weblog only the tags from the last fields were counted.
- Bugfix / Feature: Closed entries were not ignored prior to Simple Tags 1.6.5
If you have a configuration with multiple tag-fields in one weblog or have closed entries you should Re-tag your entries after you updated to 1.6.5 (CP Home › Modules › Simple Tag).
Simple Tags 1.6.3
I released Simple Tags 1.6.3 today containing two little enhancements.
• When using the autosuggest feature, hitting enter after selecting a sugested tag will no longer trigger the “Preview”-Button in the publish form. This was a feature request by Luke Stevens.
• Simple Tags can now use WP-Cumulus to display a fancy flash tagclound. Here’s an example.
