[wp-xmlrpc] Handling Custom Post Types in WP 3.0 via XMLRPC

[Eric Mann]

David,

 

Any chance you can post a snippet (better yet a diff) showing what exactly
you changed to support your custom post types?  If possible, I'd like to
generalize it and submit a formal patch .

Subject: [wp-xmlrpc] Handling Custom Post Types in WP 3.0 via XMLRPC

 

FYI, I wanted to use Custom Post Types and WP 3.0 in a new blog and manage
content via XMLRPC.

 

XMLRPC.php isn't updated to handle this, it seems.

 

mw_NewPost just needs a tweak to get it to work.

 

1993          $post_type = 'post';
1994          $page_template = '';
1995          if ( !empty( $content_struct['post_type'] ) ) {
1996              if ( $content_struct['post_type'] == 'page' ) {
1997                  $cap = ( $publish ) ? 'publish_pages' : 'edit_pages';
1998                  $error_message = __( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to
publish pages on this site.' );
1999                  $post_type = 'page';
2000                  if ( !empty( $content_struct['wp_page_template'] ) )
2001                      $page_template =
$content_struct['wp_page_template'];
2002              } elseif ( $content_struct['post_type'] == 'post' ) {
2003                  // This is the default, no changes needed
2004              } else {
2005                  // No other post_type values are allowed here
2006                  return new IXR_Error( 401, __( 'Invalid post type.' )
);
2007              }
2008          }
 
I just edited up the if/elseif/else to take into account my custom post type
names, and set the post_type key/value to the appropriate post type in my
client.
Works fine so far.
