I like this.  As we expose more and more functionality in the external  
facing APIs I hope we see more apps like this (both web and desktop).

Yikes!  I've let the XML-RPC docs rot for far too long.

We do support the 'mt_keywords' field in metaWeblog.newPost/editPost  
which are tags in WordPress.

Very nice. I have been developing an XML RPC client to manage wordpress 
for some time now and have encountered limitations such as these. This 
will aid greatly in the development of better blogging clients for 
wordpress.

I'm assuming you mean the wp.getComment method.  Yes it does return  
trackbacks.  What I just noticed though is that we don't include the  
comment type when returning the comment data.  I'll see about adding  
that field.


Subject only emails are harder to quote.

Yes, a post submitted via XML-RPC in WordPress goes through the same  
hooks as one submitted via wp-admin.

Hello,

 

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but I'm having a lot of
trouble trying to get wp.newPage to work using a PHP script.

 

wp.getPageList works as expected, but wp.newPage returns the error:
faultCode  401    faultString  Invalid post type

 

I don't see anything in the doc that shows an option to set the post type.

 

Thanks,
Patrick

It would be helpful to see the script to get an idea of what's wrong.   
Here's a simple test script I use for wp.newPage with out any problems:

<?php
require "./IXR_Library.inc.php";
$method_name = "wp.newPage";

$rpc_url = "http://localhost/~joseph/wp/trunk/xmlrpc.php";
$blog_id    = 1;
$username   = "username";
$password   = "password";
$publish    = false;

$post = array(
     "title"         => "New Page Test",
     "description"   => "Hello there, this is a test."
);


$rpc = new IXR_Client( $rpc_url );
$status = $rpc->query(
     $method_name,
     $blog_id,
     $username,
     $password,
     $post,
     $publish
);

if( !$status ) {
     print "Error in RPC request\n";
     print_r( $rpc );
     exit;
}

print_r( $rpc->getResponse( ) );
print "\n";

Thanks Joseph,

 

That worked perfectly.  I was previously using cURL which worked fine for
blogger.newPost and wp.getPageList but not wp.newPage.

I hadn't tried IXR_Library.inc.php yet, but it worked great, thanks for your
help!

What I'm naturally concerned with is, if the bits were not being  
decoded from base64 already, then how on earth are file uploads  
working for all existing clients?

I suspect something else in the chain is magically decoding the  
base64. Possibly a php feature that is just not working right for the  
afflicted user who proposed this patch?

Joseph - I suspect what is happening here is that the afflicted users  
are not enclosing their "bits" in a <base64> tag.  MarsEdit, and I  
suspect every other client that currently works, puts the data in such  
a tag, which causes your XMLRPC parser to do the base64 decoding  
automatically:

wp-includes/class-IXR.php

See line 241.

So it would be dangerous to take their patch because any clients that  
currently embed the bits explicitly in a <base64> node will have had  
their bits already decoded.

Indeed, we've been round this loop before. [1]

IXR does the base64 decoding for us.

If the uploads aren't working from someone then there requests are duff 
as Daniel says.

You are absolutely correct.  And my initial thought was the same as  
Daniel's, if this was a problem how was it ever working before :-)

I'll follow up with the authors of those blog posts to point out that  
they probably aren't encoding 'bits' correctly.

Thanks Peter and Daniel.
