Live Writer Forum

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development - I am currently using div containers with background-images to create borders for tables and other content I would like to insert onto my blog. They show up find in the Windows Live Writer Web layout view, but once I publish them they are no longer there. I looked into the page source of the publish blog and I realized that Windows Live Writer strips every background-image attributes it finds. For example:

will become:

Is there a way to tell Windows Live Writer to stop stripping them, and if there ain't can someone tell me what I should do instead for creating custom borders in WLW.

My DLL files only work on PC's that have VS installed

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development -

Hello --

I have created a plug-in that inserts some custom formatted tags. I can have tested on the machine that I used to develop it. However, when I move the DLL file to a machine that doesn't have VS installed, I cannot see the plug-in. It doesn't appear on the Insert Menu or under Options -> Plugins. It builds without warning or errors.

Is there something special I need to do while building it?

Creating a MSI file for my plugin

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development -

OK, I've my plugin developed and working the way I want it to. However, when I try to install it on another machine, I can't see it. The dll file is copied and I can remove it through add/remove programs, but I can't see it in Writer itself.

Does anyone know how I would start to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance -

SPLIT POST DISABLED...AHHHH

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development - I used all caps, don't kill me. But I'm frustrated.

I published 3 posts to my new live Subtext blog using Windows Live Writer. Then I learn about the split post feature and say hmm, I need to do that real quick like.

But when I go back into those posts, the Split post option is disabled in the format menu.

Why? Is it something dependent on Subtext or Windows Live Writer won't let you split a post after the fact that it's been published or what? What would not even make sense.

ImagePath Error

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development -

Can anyone help me with an imagepath error I'm getting:

"The bitmap for plug-in could not be loaded from the specified path.

Note: You should ensure that your plug-in class is defined within the default namespace of the assembly."

I have the properties of the image set to "embed resource". Any ideas? This is driving me bonkers.

Thanks in advance to those wiser than I.

Submit to Community Credit 1.0 plug-in released

MSDN Forums: Windows Live Writer: Development - I suppose this is a good place to announce a plug-in I developed for the Technical Preview of Windows Live Writer using the new SDK that was announced. Its essentially a plug-in that makes it easier to submit your post to the Community Credit website run by David Silverlight.

You can read more about it and download it from my post over here.

I appreciate any feedback you might have.
