Vim plugin to post from VIM to WordPress using Pandoc-Markdown.
It uses an special template in files, they are a mix between an INI header and
a MarkDown content. There is a template in templates directory.
droWMark now supports python 2.x and 3.x it will autodetect what you have and use that.
Install the plugin using Vundle, Pathogen (or other package management tool) or Manually. (see below)
Configure your blog using (this will write a file called either .vimblogrc or _vimblogrc in the root in the root directory of this plugin:
:ConfigWordPress
When the plugin is installed, you can create a new blog entry using:
:NewWordPress
This will insert the template file in the file you are editing and switch the
filetype to drowmark which automatically activates the drowmark syntax
highlighting. This filetype is also activated when the extension of the file is
.wp. The template contains all the information needed to fill the
configuration part.
When the blog entry is finished, it is possible to post in WordPress with the following command:
:PostWordPress
To get a list of available posts i.e. if you want to edit or publish or delete an existing entry, please use:
:ListWordPress
To edit an existing blog post:
:EditWordPress
This will ask you for the blog id you want to edit, you will find the blog ids available to you with the above command :ListWordPress
After editing a post, you might want to update it on the blog, to do so use:
:UpdateWordPress
To delete an existing post, use:
:DeleteWordPress
And last but not least, to publish your post, type:
:PublishWordPress
All the URLs of the images are checked. If the URL of the image is a relative path to a local image, it's uploaded automagically and the URL is changed to the uploaded media file URL.
Installation could be done using a plugin manager or manually.
Copy the directories in you .vim folder and you are done. Keep the
directories in the correct order. For example, put all the files in ftplugin
folder inside .vim/ftplugin and so on.
Most of the plugin managers, like Vundle (I recommend this one) are able to
download the code of the plugin from gitHub and install it correctly, putting
the directory tree under .vim/bundle/droWMark directory.
It is necessary to have Vim compiled with +python or +python3 option.
Dependencies for the python script are:
-
future package, for full compatibility with all python 2 and 3 versions
apt install python-future -
Panflute package, wich also depends on Pandoc
pip install panfluteorpip3 install panflute -
Wordpress XML RPC
pip install python-wordpress-xmlrpcorpip3 install python-wordpress-xmlrpc -
ConfigParser package
apt install python-configparser
It keeps python code as separate as possible from VIM. Python code is also callable from outside with the same functionality. VIM is only an interface to insert the parameters correctly.
