[wp-hackers] Passing messages to the Post Successful screen

[Callum Macdonald]

Hey David,

Thanks for the suggestions.

I thought about using the options table. I'm making a remote XMLRPC 
call, so I don't know if it will have completed when the post.php file 
redirects. The redirect might complete before the XMLRPC call. In which 
case, the data would get to the options table too late.

I could build some sort of Ajax thing to update live I guess, but that 
seems like a lot of work to display a simple "failed" or "succeeded" 
message! :)

Anyone got any ideas that might get round the redirect / XMLRPC delay 
problem?

Cheers,


Callum.
