blog not added to dropdown list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What's the problem?
I am testing a number of blogging engines, using virtualhosts. At one point I 
had habari on the list, and 4 blogs that were automatically mounted for 
b2evolution. When I tried to ad dotclear, after enabling XML/RPC to allow 
scribefire to communicate I clicked on 'Add a New Blog' and gave it the vhost 
url. It processed that and asked for username and password. It processed that 
and told me the blog was installed. I did this three times, and the dotclear 
blog passed all tests and always failed to show up on the drop down list.

What browser are you using?
Firefox 9.0.1

What version of ScribeFire are you running?
Scribefire Next 4.0

Just checked through other open issues and found people having problems getting 
wordpress blogs into the blog dropdown. For some reason dotclear was identified 
as a wordpress blog.

Turns out it IS possible to link.
The blog type must be set to metaweblog
The API URL must be set to blogs_url/admin/xmlrpc.php?b=default 
The remaining parts are obvious.

In order to use this source you have to be able to read French. It finally 
turns out to be useful ;-)

b2evolution api url needs to be set too blogs_url/admin/xmlrpc.php?b=default  
this resolves the connection issue
