I am trying to use Open Live Writer (Windows Live Writer is end of lifed as of Windows 7 - see: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8621 ) and I get the following problem:
,
--> THIS does not work:

https://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/remote-publishing/setting-up-windows-live-writer

as there is an extra screen requiring the url


--> Continued testing Open Live Writer with the settings from MSWord:

https://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/remote-publishing/setting-up-remote-publishing-through-microsoft-word

Using
http://cismrehab.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=xmlrpc&tmpl=component after http://cismrehab.com/
as the URL allows it to work.

What we see is that the post changes its create time and publish time directly to UTC time instead of the Time Zone of Joomla (Denver). So that the post waits 7 hours before it will publish.



I submitted a blog entry at ~4:24 PM local time. It won't show up until 7 hours pass by.

-----------------------------------
Generic Steps -- (I put my actual information in the hidden section below)
download open live writer: https://openlivewriter.azureedge.net/stable/Releases/OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe

add blog account-
http://yourblog.com/index.php/login (however you log into the site

username : blog_user
password : blog_user's password

next screen
Metaweblog API
http://your site.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=xmlrpc&tmpl=component after http://cismrehab.com/
Hey Dan,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Can you download my attached file and replace into this file location and see how it goes?

great, thanks. Maybe this could be published to help others like me!

/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/xmlrpc]# diff services.php.old services.php
618c618
< $post->save(array('applyDateOffset' => true));
---
> $post->save(array('applyDateOffset' => false));

-or another way to show -

/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/xmlrpc]# grep applyDateOffset *

services.php: $post->save(array('applyDateOffset' => false));
services.php.old: $post->save(array('applyDateOffset' => true));
