How to quickly configure your Sueetie Blog to use Microsoft LiveWriter
Gummy Bear 1.2 eliminates the hard-coding of the WLW Sueetie Author and Default UserID. Multiple authors are now supported.
Update user password and userid in /blog/app.config¶
We need to provide a password and a Sueetie UserID so that LiveWriter can recognize the author of the post. We provide them in the blog app.config file located at /blog/app.config. Here is the default view of the two properties we will be changing, with descriptions.
<!-- The SUEETIE.Password used for posting in ASPNET Membership environment -->
<add key="SUEETIE.Password" value="sueetie12345"/>
<!-- The SUEETIE.DefaultUserID used for posting in Live Writer as there is no SueetieContext to obtain author info-->
<add key="SUEETIE.DefaultUserID" value="1"/>
- Change the SUEETIE.Password value to the password for the LiveWriter user. It doesn't have to be the same as your Sueetie Site Password.
- Enter the user's Sueetie UserID for SUEETIE.DefaultUserID. You can obtain the Sueetie UserID when displaying the user info in the Sueetie Control Panel. Here's a screenshot.
LiveWriter Posting is Restricted to Single Author per blog
All Sueetie (BlogEngine.NET) blogs supports an unlimited number of authors, but currently only one recognized author using LiveWriter. This can be accommodated through modifying the existing authentication logic slightly, so supporting multiple authors with LiveWriter will be determined through community need.
