Changes to .Text for Image Posting using TonesNotes
The latest version of TonesNotes lets you post blog entries from Word that contain images:
Here is the change required of 0.95 vintage Dottext codebase.
Add the following method to the SimpleBlogService.asmx.cs file:
/// <summary>
/// Add an image to a specified gallery and return the url by which it will be accessible.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="username"></param>
/// <param name="password"></param>
/// <param name="gallery">Title of the target gallery, gallery will be created if it doesn't exist.</param>
/// <param name="postdate">Date to associate with the image. Not currently supported by the data model.</param>
/// <param name="title">Title for the image.</param>
/// <param name="description">Description for the image.</param>
/// <param name="categories">Array of categories to associate with the image. Not currently supported by the data model.</param>
/// <param name="filename">The non-path image filename including extension. Note that currently filenames must be unique within a gallery.</param>
/// <param name="data">Image file data in on-disk format matching the filename's extension.</param>
/// <returns>A url in the form http://blogs.mydomain.com/myblog/8/o_filename.jpg, where 8 is the integer CategoryID assigned to the gallery.
/// The returned url is an absolute url with a "o_" prefix on the filename.
/// Caller can make the prefix "t_" for thumbnail and "r_" for standard size.</returns>
