Error: I'm afraid this is the first I've heard of a "writeback" flavoured Blosxom. Try dropping the "/+writeback" bit from the end of the URL.

It's alive !

I finally got this writeback plugin to work !
It was working all along actually, it's just that because of my stupid setup, the plugin was "confused" about all the redirections and all
I believe some day, there will be a patch to take this into account, but in the meantime, I set blosxom the way it should work and the plugin is just working perfectly !

What I had done: set a .htaccess file to redirect all requests to index.html to index.shtml.
Then the index.shtml file was calling the /cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi script. Somehow, that didn't work

What I did to make it work: use the same .htaccess file but instead of using a index.html, I redirect the request to /cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi directly.

The downside of this is that the cgi-bin script appears in the path of the browser.
There are some instructions in the faq of blosxom (which I have to confess I only read today !) to prevent that, but I need to look into it later on

Feel free to leave a comment now !
