Conflict with Amazon S3 plugins introduced with v2.0

Last year I set up a blog using the plugin ‘Amazon S3 for WordPress with CloudFront Version 0.4.1.1′ by James David Low [1] and was uploading photos successfully using WordPress for Android Version 1.5

My photos uploaded to the amazon bucket via the site as expected and the correct code was written at the end of each post.

When I upgraded to WP for Android 2.0 I discovered that while photos continued to upload to amazon via the site as expected; no code was written in post, and the image was not attached to post when I looked in the media library.

I then tried WP for Android 2.0 on a similar site with no AWS bucket, and photos upload correctly, so my Galaxy S2 phone, server configuration and WordPress (always latest version) settings are working together.

On a third site, which uses the original plugin Amazon S3 for WordPress v0.4 by Joe Tan [2], photos upload to amazon via the site as expected, but the code in the post incorrectly references wp-content/uploads instead of the amazon bucket.

On this site, media uploaded via a computer go to Amazon and are referenced correctly.

Any insights or fixes would be appreciated; I hope this is the correct place to raise this.

The 2.0.5 release is ready for some testing from owners of the Nook Color or Nook Tablet. If you have one of these devices, it would help us out a lot if you could give this build a test before we submit to the nook app store.

Please post any feedback here!

(Note: to side load the app, you’ll need to have a nook developer license or a rooted device)

I saw a user bug report about the app not working while the device was in Maintenance mode. I’m not sure how common it is to have maintenance mode turned on, but the error message was confusing. Can we avoid this somehow and have the app let them know they need to turn maintenance off in order to use the app?

Here’s what’s on the list for 2.0.5:

Layout and optimizations for the Nook Tablet, Nook Color and BlackBerry playbook.
Testing on the above devices, make sure app runs solid on them.
Squash a bug related to force close in EditPost.java
Disable geotagging for devices that don’t support location services
More small fixes, listed in the 2.0.5 milestone

The bugs keep coming, so we keep squashing! Here’s a beta of 2.0.4 that includes the following:

Fix for links going out to the end of a paragraph upon upload.
Fix for the more tag issue when saving local drafts repeatedly.
Underlining text now uses a different class, so users shouldn’t get underlined text where they didn’t it
Updated Danish and Bosnian translations

Give it a go, especially mess around with the more tag. Post here if you see any issues!

I’m going to submit 2.0.3 to the Android Market on Monday. It has a few changes:

Uses wp.getUsersBlogs to get the self-hosted site URL instead of wp.getOptions for stats
HTML editor functionality added back for editing existing posts or pages. This is because the rich text editor was eating some post HTML in some cases.
Scheduled posts now show as ‘Scheduled’ in the post list status.
Fixes for issues with GMT date conversion.

If you want to give it a test this weekend, here’s a signed build: http://db.tt/QK4sjcHb

After lots of troubleshooting, I think I’ve got the date issues sorted out. The XML serializer wasn’t parsing the dates as GMT, so the date would be off by whatever the user’s offset from GMT was. Looking a lot better in http://android.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/559

I’d love to see the app not notify me of my own comments. Presumably this would be possible by checking the author id against the id of the user logged in on the app?
