      I’d be more than willing to pay if I can get a decent and working WordPress app for my E71. Tried both but no success.

    • futusaber 10:19 am on September 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Are you sure you tried the right build (3.1 smart installer)? I just tested this on our test E71 and it works fine.

      If it still doesn’t work, could you please be more specific with the errors you are getting?

    • futusaber 10:22 am on September 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      The Maemo autobuilder just finished with the new build, so the package should be available shortly in extras-devel!

      Hi there.
      I need some instructions. I installed Qt SDK and I found there file qt_installer.sis – I installed it on my E71 successfully. Then I tried installing “WordPress_0_8_2_selfsigned_installer_no_location.sis – Smart Installer for first time users” installation went pretty good up to the point where it asked for internet connection and then it showed ‘Installation failed’ message.

        With my N82 I have exactly the same problem of rodakk

      • futusaber 7:57 am on September 15, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        If you have already installed qt_installer.sis you should be able to use the non-smart-installer version. Also note, that it is best to install both (WordPress and Qt) on the C-drive, people have reported problems when installing either on a memory card. You also need to make sure you have enough space on your drive. Hope this helps…

        We still have the same issue with Qt Mobility – we can not distribute an N8 version at the moment… You can be sure we’ll make noise about it when we have an N8 version available :)

            BTW, I found a bug report on this issue, and it seems to be critical priority. Hope to see it fixed soon: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTMOBILITY-474

              QT Mobility installed fine now, did you use the latest SDK to compile the WordPress app version 0.8.2? Could I compile it myself? I ought to try that… :)

              • futusaber 1:55 pm on September 15, 2010 Permalink | Reply

                You could compile the app yourself. It should be rather straight forward. Just comment out the part where Qt mobility is bundled from the .pro file and you will get a version without mobility bundled.

        Hi Andreas,

        http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Nokia_Smart_Installer_for_Symbian

        “05.10.2010 – Qt Mobility support for Nokia N8 now fully enabled.”

        This is good news for all of the lucky ones with their new N8 :)

        Let us know how it goes… IMHO the normal package should work fine.

      Ok, N97 running V22 firmware, this latest release appears to have a bug in landscape mode when entering your password via the N97 qwerty. When using a high level password containing special characters, for some reason the ***** reverts to showing only three *, and not actually entering your full password. The only way to resolve this is by entering your details in portait mode.

      can you please tellme hpw to install this on my 5800?

      i’m using the installer version, and it installs till the point it asks me for the internet connection after which it say installation failed i’v downloaded QTdemos from qt.nokia.com/phonedemo. and also the installer doesn’t ask me to chose where to install it. HELP!

      • futusaber 7:02 am on September 29, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        It could be that your C-drive is full, and this is why it doesn’t ask where to install. It would also be the reason for it to fail. You need to install it on the C-drive once you have enough space. I know it might be difficult to come up with so much space on that phone :(

        If this is not the case, I don’t know what might be going on…

    0.8.0 with new UI design released! 

    We’ve been working hard to implement Pekka’s UI concepts and now have a release ready. It’s not quite pixel perfect, partly because the fonts available don’t match 100%, and partly because some limitations in Qt. However, we got pretty close, and are more than happy with the new look!

    Below are the installation packages for S60 5.0 and 3.2. Maemo builds (and maybe S60 3.1) builds will follow:

          • Anssi 5:32 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

            IMHO you definitely get a better experience with bigger screens… Kinda understandable its not maybe the best experience on N86 but at least its there if needed urgently ;)

          • futusaber 6:47 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

            The application is mainly designed for touch screens; keypad navigation and low resolution support were more or less added on afterwards. Currently enhancing the experience in non-touch devices is not high on our priority list, but there might be some improvement in the future…

            The good news is, that the app should work on just about any device that has a new enough Qt and Qt Mobility supported. And if the device has a touch screen, the user experience is much better.

          Symbian doesn’t work; at least I tried it on an N8 and I get an “Update error”, then installation stops.

          • futusaber 1:18 pm on September 8, 2010 Permalink | Reply

            For the N8 you need a special version Qt Mobility, which we can not publicly distribute right now. The version bundled along is what causes the update error. We will hopefully have the problem solved before the N8 hits the stores :)

        Clicking ‘reply’ on a comment should open the post it belongs to, with a comment editor right after the body of the post. Unfortunately I could not reproduce this problem, so any details could be useful in hunting down the bug.

        As a workaround, you should be able to reply also by opening the post from the posts list.

        This is a problem with S60 3.1 devices. We don’t have a 0.8.0 build available for those yet.
        I won’t get into the gritty details of why this is, but for now the newest build you can try is 0.7.4 .

      Update on my N86 experience with this version.

      Installed fine as mentioned earlier.

      Filled in my blog details ok, however, upon fetching posts, pages, and comments, I had to confim internet connection several times in order for it to update everything.

      • Micky Aldridge 5:37 am on August 26, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        The same happened again when adding my api key to get my statistics, which once updated, no stats are showing, however, referrers are showing.

        • futusaber 7:07 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          This is something we haven’t been able to reproduce. Since at least two people have reported this, we’ll need to get our hands on more test data to see if we can reproduce and fix this…

      • futusaber 7:06 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        The connection confirmation issue is something we have kind of seen also. We usually get one or two dialogs, almost never more than that. This is a defect in the standard Qt network access component. Qt Mobility, however, seems to have some mobile device specific network session functionality, which might be of use here. We’ll take a look at those and see what we can do. Thanks for reporting this!

      Just installed on my Nokia X6. Looks really great, but statistics are not shown (but referrers). When changing view from daily to weekly, the application aborts and pushes me to my menu. Do I always have to enter my API key when I want to see statistics?

      • futusaber 7:10 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        The issues with statistics is something we haven’t been able to reproduce, but we’ll try and see what we can do about it. Sorry about the crash…The API key is saved when you exit the application succesfully. If the application crashes, the key will not be saved.

        • anihh 11:29 am on August 27, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          Okay, Api key was saved now.
          However, I can see stats for today, but not before. Changing to weeks does not crash today, perhaps has something to do with null statistics?

      1. I’ve got another blog with the same username in wordpress on which i want to post. I entered the url of that blog and logged in but i was redirected to my other blog that goes by my username. I’ve tried posting on the new blog with my browser and its possible. But from application i cant. Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug ?

      2. Once i’ve entered the application i can never get back to the start page(it may be needed for people who maintain multiple blogs), only way out is to uninsuall and reinstall it to get there.

    0.7.4 Released 

    Continuing the 0.7.X trend, this build mostly improves keyboard support again. However, we do have other improvements also. Here is the full change log:

    • Improve image selection user experience
    • More keyboard navigation improvements/fixes
    • Enable location tagging on Symbian
    • Render comments and post/page titles correctly
    • Fix “memory full” errors in some cases
    • Various bug fixes

    NB! Due to the location tagging features, this build will not install on S60 3.1 devices (this includes e.g. the E71). This is because the Location capability is not supported in self-signed builds on 3.1. Devices with S60 3.2 and 5.0 will work fine. We will have a solution for this in the future, but for now all S60 3.1 users will just have to wait, sorry…

        Hi Laszlo!

        Unfortunately this looks like a configuration issue at your server. When PHP crashes it outputs some error message that has linebreaks in it (that’s where the br -element comes from).

        Wild guess: Try accessing http://yourblogaddress/xmlrpc.php?rsd and see if you get any sensible results?

        Oops,

        let’s take a look on it asap. There shouldn’t be too much changes between 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 so most probably we’ve messed up something. Sorry for the inconvenience…

        • Shahryar 4:41 pm on August 14, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          (Using w/ N95 8gb)
          This is my first version so I’m not sure if the font was really small in 0.7.3. So far two big problems besides the font that’s been mentioned.

          1) I can’t cycle through the different t9 spelling options to the point where I can spell and put in a word. I have to then just cycle trough each letter at a time o make the word.

          2) I can’t move around within a body of text I’m writing. Up, down, left, and right move me in and out of the different fields within the page. But to move around within the text, I have o backspace pretty mch or jus leave what I said.

          • futusaber 8:57 am on August 16, 2010 Permalink | Reply

            Both of your issues are in Qt – we are using the standard text editing components, but they don’t seem to support T9 too well…

            Regarding 2), the text should be navigable with the left and right arrows. This works well on both our N95 and N95 8GB. We do, however, have other problems on those devices, so I’m not surprised to find out that you are having issues.

            Unfortunately you will just have to wait for a more stable Qt release to fix these issues…

            • Shahryar 3:39 pm on August 16, 2010 Permalink | Reply

              Let me double check moving within a text field with left and right. Any way to make it work like the nokia browser works? I can move up and down and left and right within a text field. I Get out by going all the way to the top or to the bottom – or maybe even hitting the center button?

      • futusaber 8:51 am on August 16, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        The font is quite small, yes. We’ll make it bigger for future releases.

        I found unescaped characters only in editors and the single post view, which is already fixed in our development version. Did you encounter them elsewhere also? I’m not quite sure if escaping them is the right thing to do in editors, but we’ll think about it…

        • Dan 1:21 pm on August 16, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          Also in the Post Title in the Comments tab there were escaped characters.

          • futusaber 10:30 am on August 18, 2010 Permalink | Reply

            Could you elaborate on this, which characters were they? We already rendering this as html and e.g. & amp ; (spaces inserted to make sure it displays) is rendering as an ampersand. I couldn’t produce any problems while testing this just now…

      Hi! I’m very enthusiast of work you’ve done still now, and I was asking me why there wasn’t an official app for symbians/maemo smartphones. So thanks for your efforts.
      In my early testing I’ve found only one little pain in the neck: the resize of images; I’ve noticed I can’t choose the exact size, that’s true? For sure only to be patient :)

      Bye ya!

      • futubanister 5:58 am on August 20, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Thanks PioneerSkies!

        Yeah, you cannot choose the resizing size at the moment – it’s just on/off switch. That being said we take your feedback seriously and will try to find an optimum solution for setting the image size without too many options-screens (we hate those).

        You can expect a new version around Tuesday / Wednesday next week – after that we’ll collect the feedback and try to plan the next features and urgent fixes.

    • PioneerSkies 9:28 am on August 20, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      I think that, if we don’t want many options-screens, an idea could be to use the images sizing setting of the blog; so that, for example, I’ll configure my blog with a medium images size of 480×320 and the app will read that size.
      Only brainstorming, just because is better a bad idea that a non-said idea. :)

      So I’ll wait for the next week to do further tests; I’ve a redaction of people who write on a wordpress site and I hope to introduce to those of them using nokia smartphone this app as soon as it will be ready.

      Bye

      Should either of the smart installers work on the N96? No matter which I try, I eventually get “Reverting changes”, followed by “Device not supported”.
      I am currently downloading 0.7.3′s smart installer, and will then grab the upgrade package, if that installs….
      Aaargh! Just found thhis! I guess that means I’m stuck up the proverbial creek for the forseeable future :(

        Hi, please use this build, which is suitable for S60 3.1 devices, and includes the smart installer for Qt.

      I just installed this new version of the WP app for Nokia mobile phones, I never used it before and I find it really useful although I’m having a problem with it. The problem is that I’m not able to publish any of my new posts to my blog and I don’t know why, I’ve tried looking for those posts in the WP dashboard in my computer and they’re not there either. I have a Nokia 5530 and Symbian S60 5th Edition. What can I do about it, any suggestions?

      • futubanister 5:54 am on August 25, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Interesting – does it just timeout or are there any error messages? Have you set the post status to “published” when saving it?

        We’ll be releasing new version later today, let’s see if the issue can be reproduced with that one.

        • xinita 1:02 am on August 26, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          Thanks for replying! It doesn’t time out nor show any error messages, the only thing that happens is that the post box gets darker displaying one of those loading icons and stays like that until I close the application. The first time it happened it thought it was because I saved it as a draft so I created a new post and set it as published, then saved it and the same thing happened.

          I’ll wait until the next version is released and try it, I’ll let you know if it happens again :D

    0.7.3 Released 

    This release is primarily targeted toward non-touch phone users, as the improvements are mostly related to keyboard navigation. Another week of developing has brought the following new features:

    • At least 97% of the UI should be navigable with the keyboard now, please report any problems you might have. We will also be doing some testing next week to be sure everything is working.
    • Long comments can be scrolled with the keyboard
    • Focus and scrolling are kept in sync better in lists
    • Key presses in platform dialogs shouldn’t leak through to the application as they did before
    • list items are smaller on low resolution devices, so you can see more at once

    The E71 deadlock which was in our previous release has been worked around. We are real sorry about this one, but it seemed to be a rather obscure Qt bug we were facing. Hopefully it wont be encountered by anyone anymore!

    While working at keyboard support, we noticed that the image upload selection list truly is broken on Symbian. This shows the difficulty of developing for multiple platforms, as we didn’t realize the extent of the breakage until now, as Maemo builds were working fine. Fixing the image selection view will be high on our priority list next week.

      So far so good,downloading components and installing on E71. Hold thumbs.

    • Joao Luis 4:58 pm on July 26, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Ok, one issue I see is recurring in two versions now. As you know some of us have bogs hosted with other hosts and not WordPress, I am one such person. Well in short I have WP 3.0 Installed on the control panel of my host company and use it as my app for posting / editing posts daily. Now for example on mine there is no API issued by WP but yes an API from AKISMET also 12 digits/letters. This API key doesn’t work on the app on my E71 so therefore cannot see any stats. The rest seems to work for now, still playing around with the app. More to follow.

      • terom 1:40 pm on July 28, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        If you have the wordpress.com Stats plugin installed on your self-hosted blog, and configured with your wordpress.com API Key, then it should in theory be possible to view your self-hosted blog’s stats using the mobile client – but we haven’t really tested this scenario, so it would be interesting to hear if it works or not.

        You might be able to get it to work by fiddling with the Blog URL that you’ve entered in the app – in particular, by making sure that it’s the same as what your blog’s official URL is (as configurable in the wp-admin panel under Settings).

      WRT image uploads, on the N900, I can only view a certain number of images. Can you guys check that out pls? I would like to be able to search/view my whole gallery for the images I want to upload.

      Also, is it possible to view/search for gallery items already uploaded? That would be awesome!

      • futubanister 12:01 pm on July 28, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Do you mean that the thumbnail is not shown, or that the image is not in the list at all? You can load the thumbnail by clicking the arrow icon, or pressing the “(arrow) right key” when the item is selected. We are working on improving this right now, and will be releasing a build latest on Friday with improvements related to this included.

    • Randall Gonzalez 3:52 am on July 31, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      with this new version, I still have the problem of navigating on the post’s text.. I’m I missing something? I have a E-72 and the only way to navigate on the post’s text is by using the left and right keys which makes it REALLY dificult to edit… to go to the middle of the post I’ll have to wait for the cursor to get there by pressing the left key, if I click up or down it navigates to other textboxes or buttons.
      One again… is there something I’m missing or this is the way it suppose to be? I hope there is a workaround for this. Thanks.

      • futusaber 10:44 am on August 2, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        This is the default behavior of the components we use, and changing it would brake e.g. inserting of links. We are planning to do some improvement to this, which will be in future releases. Unfortunately this is not as simple to fix as it might seem…

    First preview release towards E-series support – 0.7.2 

    We’ve been working on re-enabling support for non-touch devices for about a week now, and have come far enough to release. Version 0.7.2 includes the following changes:

    • Improved keyboard navigation support
    • Improved low resolution display support
    • Some minor UI tweaks
    • Some optimizations in refreshing (rebuilt post category view)

    Keyboard navigation and low resolution support are still work in progress. You might still get stuck in some views, and some parts of the UI are too big, but mostly it is functional.

    NB! With one specific Symbian device, we ran into a seemingly random deadlock situation, which went away eventually. Your phone might deadlock shortly after starting the application, forcing you to remove the battery to reboot. This should not harm your phone, but you could loose any unsaved data. You have been warned!

      just installed this update, one instant thing is layout, this has changed a bit.

      A couple of things I also noticed is missing, cursor control within the body text area, and highlighting a button – not all change colour.

      Updated on my N900 and its not refreshing correctly and screen goes blank randomly.

      I tried to refresh comments and it said it was refreshing pages, then fails to do anything?

      When moving between blog accounts the comments completely disappear and I need to force close and open again before they appear.

    • Hotzigetty 2:47 pm on July 20, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Updated. Can finally use the menu!! So far has been pretty good.

      1) the autocomplete is on overdrive!!
      2) doesnt remember the blog keys to get stats, etc..

      • futusaber 7:26 am on July 21, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        1) This seems to be a Qt bug, which should be fixed in future Qt releases. Unfortunately I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait on this one…
        2) It should save the key when you close the application. If you manage to crash it, or kill it some other way, the key will not be saved.

      On the E71 with FW 500.x.x, it isn’t working, freezes the device after inserting , blog, user, password etc. and clicking on save…………. Have to remove battery to restart as nothing works. Had to hard reset and havent installed again, same thing. Given up!

      • futusaber 12:06 pm on July 22, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        We could reproduce this only on one E71, while other phones worked just fine. Since you were able to reproduce it, we took a closer look, and were able to work around the issue, which seems to be a Qt bug. We’ll be rolling out a new release tomorrow, in which this should be fixed.

        We are very sorry about the inconvenience, but obscure bugs like this can be tricky…

    0.6.99 Symbian Smart Installer build with bundled Qt Mobility 

    As promised, here is a symbian build of 0.6.99 with the Nokia smart installer and Qt Mobility 1.0.0 bundled. It will automatically install all the dependencies for you when necessary.
    WordPress_0.6.99_selfsigned_installer_with_mobility.sis

    It is a bigger file, and much slower to install than the regular version, so it’s not recommended for people who already have Qt and Qt Mobility installed.

        We found out via first-hand experience that the versions are not compatible. Wanting to get the bundled build out as soon as possible, we stuck with 1.0.0 for the time being.

        Now that the reason for the breakage is clear, we will certainly link the next build against 1.0.1. Thanks for the pointer!

      Here’s a post I just uploaded with the app: http://jfmanzo.wordpress.com/2010/07/04/mobile-blogging-with-a-dedicated-wordpress-app-for-people-like-me/. I am using an N97 Mini and this is my first spin with any mobile WordPress app aside from a terrible time I had on my iPod Touch with one. I am quite happy with what I can do with this one, and installation was as much of a delightful breeze as it is with almost all the Symbian apps I’ve ever used.

      A couple of annoyances: One is that I can’t enter capital letter that aren’t at the beginning of sentences. Every time I type “I” I had to first enter a lower-case character (obvious choice was “i”) and only then would the upper case show up subsequently. So I was typing in “iI” for every case of “I” not at the beginning of a sentence. Same with names- it wouldn’t let me type “Nokia” (I had to to “nNokia”) but had no problem with “iPhone.” As well, at the beginning of a new paragraph caps were not recognized either- and yes this was holding down the shift key.

      The software only recognized predictive text, with no way to turn it off, at least not while using the physical keyboard.

      I don’t understand how to enter links- highlighting text is impossible (maybe with a stylus it would be easier) but even when I managed to, going down to “add link” didn’t work (with or without highlighted text) because I couldn’t type- it only allowed me to enter the alternate characters on my keyboard. Closing the phone to use the alphanumeric didn’t word; keypad would not pop up.

      All that said I think this is a great utility and I look forward to improvements and using it all the time. Thanks!

        Thank you John for the good comments!

        We’re currently in process of refactoring the editor areas a bit – our current approach is a bit too fragile. The next build (that we proudly call 0.7.0) will make significant different in text inputs — and hopefully some of the weird behaviours will get fixed.

        • John Manzo 4:42 pm on July 5, 2010 Permalink | Reply

          Thank YOU!

          Today, for some reason, all the caps issues have disappeared, which is great, hope it stays this way. i still cannot figure out how to enter links- after I manage to highlight text, I click in the link button and up pops a window with two parts: Name and Address. I cannot enter text in these; as I noted above, it’s as if the keyboard is stuck on alt characters and all I can enter is numbers and symbols. I also don’t undertand what “name” is supposed to mean.

      I really like this wordpress app, and looking forward to use it. I have a n97 and still have problems with uploading pictures. When I press the add picture buttons I got an error saying “full memory” or the app just close?!?! Anyone who can help me? should I installed the program in the phone memory??
