To use Blogsy with Joomla you need to do the following.

Joomla 3.0

1. Download the Joomla!3.x plugin. You can get it here (pkg-xmlrpc-joomla-2-0-2.tar.gz Developed by Kozaki)
   ※ This plugin should only be used if your blog is Joomla 3.x If you have a Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, or 2.5 blog then look for instructions below.

2. Go to your Joomla admin Panel -> Extentions -> Extention Manager -> Install and then install the plugin you downloaded.

   

3. After the installation finishes tap on "Manage" in the left column and enable the plugin and the component.
   

   

4. Now set up your Joomla blog in Blogsy. (In Blogsy you use the "Joomla 1.6, 1.7 or 2.5 Account" set up menu. This title will be changed to include "3.x" in our next update.)

Joomla 1.6, 1.7 or 2.5

1. Download the Movable Type plugin. You can get it here (pkg-xmlrpc-1-7-1.zip Developed by Kozaki)
   ※ Even though the plugin name says it is for Joomla 1.7.1, it works fine with Joomla 1.6, 1.7 or 2.5.

   

2. Go to your Joomla admin Panel -> Extentions -> Extention Manager -> Upload/Install and then install the Movable Type Plugin.

   

3. After the installation finishes go to the Plugin Manager and Enable “System - RSD” and “XMLRPC - Joomla”.
   ※ Click on the ID header to sort the extensions in descending order from when they were installed (normally you will have to click twice - the first time sorts in ascending order). You’ll know when you’ve got it right because the ID numbers will be big (over 10000).

   

4. Go to Components -> XMLRPC and make sure that both “joomla” and “Enabled” are in green. If they aren’t the return to step 3.

   

5. Click on Options in the upper right corner.

   

6. Set each component as shown in the image then click “Save & Close.”
   • Show RSD - Yes
   • Show Manifest - No
   • XMLRPC Debug - No
   • PHP Display Errors - Yes

   

7. Now set up your Joomla blog in Blogsy.

Joomla 1.5

3. After the installation finishes go to the Plugin Manager and Enable "XML-RPC - metaWeblog API"

Blogsy does not currently support SquareSpace 6 blogs because SquareSpace has not opened up the API yet. You can see this in the "Will Squarespace 6 have feature parity with Squarespace 5?" in the SquareSpace FAQ. We have asked SquareSpace about this and as soon as they open up the API we will add SquareSpace 6 support.

1. To use this MetaWeblog setup your blogging platform has to support MetaWeblog. For some of these platforms you will also need to enable MetaWeblog in the admin of your blog.
2. API URL : You need to enter the full URL to the XMLRPC endpoint.
3. Blog Name : This is the name that will be used to identify your blog in Blogsy.
4. Blog ID : Typically the blog ID is '1' but some blogging platforms have their own unique blog ID. You should be able to ask your blog platform company to figure out your blog ID if it is not '1'.
