This edited version seems to work. I know there might be some problem in it, with the “select blog” dialog appearing two times.
But the version described here (a year ago) doesn’t work with an updated version of textmate
please check

SELECTEDID = ENV['TM_SELECTED_TEXT']


def fetch_post_page

    current_password = self.password

    require “#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/progress.rb”

    result = nil

    TextMate.call_with_progress(:title => “Fetch Post By Id”, :message => “Contacting Server “#{@host}”…”) do

      begin

        result = self.client.getPost(SELECTEDID, self.username, current_password)

      rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e

        TextMate.exit_show_tool_tip(”Error: #{e.faultString} (#{e.faultCode})”)

      end

    end

    @mw_success = true

    self.post = result

    TextMate.exit_create_new_document(post_to_document())

end

def fetch_by_id fetch_post_page end

The latter comment from MMISoftware I think got garbled. Check out the link: http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk/weblog/?p=205 for some alterations to the methods described above that may work for you better.

Indeed, I don’t doubt there are some better ways to go about this. In fact, one could probably write their own bundle, and use that (which I recommend at this point in my experience :)) rather than altering a built in bundle, which is likely to change in the process of updates.

[...] I came across a great post over at plasticular inscriptor, which described how to get TextMate to retrieve blog posts by id. [...]

Dude you’re killlin’ me! Ok, I need to play with TextMate more, cause I didn’t know it could do half the things you have been doing on here!

Cheers!
