Post to WordPress Blogs from Nokia Lifeblog

Filed under: blogging, connectivity, gadgets, nokia - 12 Dec 2006 22:40

I’ve been trying to figure out if something existed that would allow posting from Nokia Lifeblog. I found code a couple of places, but it didn’t seem to work. Furthermore, the sites that had them were written in German, so there wasn’t a whole lot of documentation on it other than the sparse code comments.

Debugging what was going on was difficult. I use a shared hosting environment at 1&1 for my blog, which meant I didn’t have much access to logs or a sniffer at that end. Obviously when posting from the mobile phone, there isn’t a whole lot of debugging either. I used a Nokia N93 with WiFi, which was accessing the net via a Linksys WRT54GS that I had loaded DD-WRT firmware on. This means I had shell access to my WiFi router and could run tcpdump to troubleshoot what was going on at the network layer.

I started doing the usual sorts of things one does when debugging code: I added a whole mess of “verbose debugging” statements which spewed copious amounts of data to the debug logs. Somewhere along the way, Nokia changed how LifeBlog passed the authentication credentials, so I had to make a change to the code slightly. Probably breaks backward compatibility of course.

After I corrected all the various references to items in the WordPress database that didn’t exist in 2.0.5 and accounted for other various issues, I discovered something peculiar: a function inside of WordPress was crashing for no good reason. Specifically, it was wp_create_thumbnail. Instead of trying to debug that function, which I think was also the reason I was having troubles with the Postie plugin a few days ago, I ended up hacking in ImageMagick support. Specifically, all it uses is the “convert” binary to do what wp_create_thumbnail does.

Anyway, the code was a little messy before I got it and I’m sure my mucking about in the code made it just a little worse. But the code works on my current setup (Nokia N95 with Lifeblog application). Maybe it will work for you. Maybe it won’t. Try it and post your feedback/questions/etc in the comments.

Known To Work With:

  • WordPress 2.0.5 and later
  • Lifeblog from a Nokia N73, Nokia N93, and Nokia N80 Internet Edition
  • Lifeblog from a Nokia N95 that has been upgraded to Share Online 3.0
  • Share Online 2.0 and earlier (except on N95 with 20.x firmware and possibly others)

Known Not To Work With:

  • WordPress 2.0.4 (and probably earlier versions)
  • LifeBlog PC Application–since I have a Mac, unless someone else wants to hack in the support, it’s not going to be supported.
  • Newer Nokia phones (N95 with 20.x firmware, N81 8GB, N95 8GB) that has NOT been upgraded to Share Online 3.0–they apparently do something different with the Lifeblog protocol, which I haven’t been able to suss out yet.
  • Nokia Share Online 3.0 as there is no way to configure a third-party service in the application. Use the Lifeblog appliaction instead.

Installation Instructions (also available in Dutch)

  1. Download Lifeblog PHP for WordPress 2.0.5-2.2 Blogs or Lifeblog PHP for WordPress 2.3+
  2. Copy file to the root of your WordPress installation. Should be at the same level as wp-blog-header.php.
  3. Rename the file to lifeblog.php, make executable if needed.
  4. If the root directory of your WordPress installation is not writable, then you will need to create a file called atomdata.txt that is writable by the web server process. In many cases this means the file needs to be made world-writable.
  5. Ensure that wp-content/uploads directory is writable by the web server process. In many cases this means the directory needs to be made world-writable.
  6. Edit lifeblog.php. See the comments at the top of lifeblog.php.txt on what will need to be edited.
  7. Configure your Nokia device to use this new Lifeblog service. The important settings are:
    • Username: admin (or whatever username you use to post)
    • Password: (whatever password you specify in lifeblog.php–not your normal WordPress password)
    • Server Address: http://www.examplewordpressblog.com/lifeblog.php

After that, you should be able to use Lifeblog on your Nokia handset to post to your WordPress blog.

Known Issues

  • Video uploading doesn’t work in the WordPress 2.0.5 version. It won’t unless someone wants to hack it in.
  • Video uploading in the 2.3 version might not work for MP4 files as I was getting 500 server errors on my webhost. Please try and report.

Troubleshooting Instructions:

  • Uncomment out any of the lines that have “logme” in them.
  • Attempt to post
  • Send me the following information via email (address listed to the right):
    • atomdata.txt file
    • Phone you are using to post with firmware version (Dial *#0000#)
    • Version of Lifeblog software on the phone, if possible to obtain:
      • On N80i: Tools > App. Mgr. > Lifeblog, then Select > View Details
      • On N93 and N73, I don’t see a clear way to get that information since it is an included app.

    Hrmm. Have you tried from the lifeblog PC application itself? I hear the xml data transferred is different.
    I have to use the PC app because I don’t have a miniSD, and I’ve only got -40mb :( to use. Is it worth me doing a wordpress installation to find out? FTP is so slow and painful :(

    I have never used the LifeBlog PC application because I mostly use MacOS. Try it out and report back.

  6. Comment by PhoneBoy

    The script won’t work with direct access from a normal web browser. Not sure what’s going on with your specific phone. Just for reference, have you gotten your phone to post with something like Vox? Go get an account on Vox and see if it works there. In theory, if it works there, it should work with this script. Wish I had an N70 to try it with.

  7. Comment by basv

    hi phoneboy, i tried what you said and see the result :http://basv.vox.com/ it seems like it’s working on vox. My wordpress i running on a localserver are there some special requirements for the server to make this script work that you know off. like php_upload or something.

  8. Comment by PhoneBoy

    As far as I know, there are no “special” requirements for running this script. It works on my 1&1 Webhost. It also worked for a friend of mine who has a different hosting arrangement.

    What might be helpful for me is if you can create an account on your blog for me so I can test it from my phone. This way, I can also see the datastream coming back to the phone and might be able to provide suggestions on how to fix it. Obviously, don’t post them in the comments, just send me an email.

    Hello Phoneboy,

    I just uploaded lifeblog.php, edit it and tried to send one post. It recognises me in my Nokia N73 (Boštjanov blog - check zrimsek.si/blog), but there is error on posting. Both: from GSM and from PC.

    I can’t find any atomdata.txt file in none directory in my webpage…

  15. Comment by PhoneBoy

    Try uncommenting the lines:

    //logme(”rawpostdata: ” . $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
    //foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) { logme(”$key: $value”); }

    My guess is the regular expression to pull out the data we care about failed somehow. Need to see the raw post data to troubleshoot that.

  16. Comment by Olivier Ruffin

    Hi

    Maybe you already know it, but Nokia did post the full spec of the lifeblog protocol, so it’s maybe easier to work with this doc than by using tcpdump ;)

    It’s available at http://tinyurl.com/2rvw77
    (found through the nokia lifeblog page: http://r2.nokia.com/nokia/0,,71754,00.html

    Anyway i was looking for this kind of script since i own a N93… I’m gonna test this asap ;) Thx

    I’ve just tried (with no success) your lifeblog.php, my setup:

    - Lifeblog v2.0.25 on N70 (fw v5.0638.3.0.1)
    - all correct permission (file owned by the apache user, write permission on wp-content/upload)

    When I try to post a simple note I get (on my mobile) “Operation forbidden by server” and almost nothing in the atomdata.txt:

    Thanks, this worked great. I had to sort out the permissions of various folders but it works perfectly for uploading text and jpg’s. BUT not for video. Is there a plugin or something I need for Wordpress to accept video uploads? Has anyone also had this quirk with video and got any knowledge to share? Im using the latest version of Wordpress (WP v 2.1.2)

  28. Comment by PhoneBoy

    The script currently does not handle video. I haven’t figured out how to hack it in. It’s not a high priority for me, but if someone else wants to hack it in, more power to you!

  29. Comment by Tony Almeida

    PhoneBoy, U the man, can I use Wordpress’s wp_users table, filed user_login and user_pass, to substitute the following:
    $passwordlist['username'] = ‘password’;

    So that all my member enjoy your great hack.

  30. Comment by Tony almeida

    Finally added a plain text password field in wp database to solve the problem, kind of danger but just do the job.

    I’ve followed the instructions, & can get Lifeblog on my phone to initially log in, but when I try to post something Lifeblog gives an error like “Denied by server” or something (can’t remember it exactly).

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Oh, sorry, but I remembered something: is it possible to block metadata, such as “qui 18/10/2007 10:36 Yada Yada (Note):”, which appears by default in each post? I tried to figure it out looking at lifeblog.php, but I don’t understand anything about codes (I figured out how to eliminate the “blockquote” tag, though. :))

    So, can I delete some line and eliminate metadata without messing up the code?

    Well, it seems to work, I’ll have to try some more posts tomorrow. From my limited testing today I’ll post a few remarks:
    - the plugin worked the first time ’round - even with Share Online at v2, but refused to post after that (Lifeblog kept hanging at “posting…” even though updating the bloglist seemed to work fine, and even after updating SO to v3)
    - Numerous troubleshooting shots later I have the permissions for lifeblog.php now set to 777 (even though the first post succeeded with 755), and reverted $lifeblog_category to the default “yourcategory”
    - For some reason all posts are set to category 13 on my blog
    - I have no clue what actually resolved the inability to post, but, as I said, it seems to work now (that is, I succeeded at posting another item just now), so colour me happy!

    Thanks!

  147. Comment by Petri

    Hello,

    Great tool you created…I don’t really like lifeblog because of it’s many restrictions but it is the only symbian tool I know that allows you to sent videos without size restrictions.

    1)
    I tried the video with my N958GB on WP 2.3.2…not working, smth’s published ( when it is a very light…too light…video) but it does not recognize the file, as I can see in the code, it asks for a jpg file that does not exist..

    It would be great if the video could be uploaded, do you think you could customize your php file for that ?

    2)
    I installed everything as you say and the photo upload works fine except for the categories : I don’t get to publish neither into an already created category nore a new one, only when I let the category field blank in the php file, it goes into my default category.

    Does anyone know how to make that work ? the best would be to be able to choose the category directly from LB but of course this application is too poor for that… :-(

  148. Comment by Simone

    I’m using it from my N95 and until yesterday from LifeBLog on my PC, but now I’ve installed Nokia Photos, and it does not work any more (XML not recognized).
