Greg Reinacker and Simon Fell are proposing a new interface to extend IBlogThis…
public interface IBlogIt : IBlogThis
{
// Display configuration dialog to user, if applicable
void Configure();
// Return true if an editing GUI will be shown to the
// user when BlogItem is called. In this case, the
// aggregator will not display its own editing UI.
bool HasEditingGUI();
}
This seems very nice to me. I’m currently working on a plugin for MovableType utilizing the IBlogThis interface. One of the hurdles I’ve encountered is a clean way to bring up the configuration dialogs, if the user hasnt completed them.
This would also allow incorporation of Luke Hutteman’s BlogThisURL, creating a complete MT plugin.
