Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

What does this do exactly? Permit local client side 3rd party apps to interface with TXP? (For example BloGTK for linux, etc.) Or is it more for some of the underpinnings like the pings and trackbacks and whatnot?

Remillard

PS: BloGTK by the way has the funniest FAQ I’ve seen in a long time. Heck, the whole site is pretty amusing. It’s worth a read even if you run Windows.

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

There isn’t a link to download the files. It says to look at the old post, but the link takes you back to your blog entries. I found the old post, but the link says ‘beta1’, and all the files have modification dates going back to Septembet – Could you confirm the right download link, I’m eager to try this out..

Remillard: it’s for using stuff like BloGTK, etc with TXP

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Thanks – given it a quick whirl on my Mac with Ecto and MarsEdit. I can download posts OK, but I can’t send new posts, edit existing ones or specify which section to post to.

This is the error from trying to edit a post (I’ve changed the paths) :

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Hmmm… that’s very strange… I certainly don’t get any such errors posting through Windows.
Let me get everything setup here at home and I’ll look into the errors in more detail.

Do you have error reporting set to all, by any chance?

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Having dived back into the code, I’d suggest that the files from beta 1 haven’t been overwritten by the new versions.
The above errors do not match up to code in beta 2 – but they do match beta 1.

Make sure that it’s the files from this zip file that you are using.

Hope that helps!

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Thanks Chris – bizarre, but you’re right, they hadn’t been overwritten properly. The story is now quite different. The posts all download nicely into the right sections, and I can send edits.

  • I can’t choose a category without receiving errors
  • downloaded posts do not have line breaks preserved, all the text is one large paragraph.

It could be a problem with Ecto, or rather my inexperience in using it, so I’ll probe further. It feels so close!! Thanks for everything, I’ll keep plugging away at it. Interestingly the first beta allowed posts to be downloaded in MarsEsit, but not with this release. I think this is because posts are now organised into sections, which Ecto can handle, but MarsEdit can’t.

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Yeah, the category bug is a known one. In the windows version, the post will still be added to the database, category and all. Is it not the same in the Mac version?

No line breaks is a new one… Again, it works on the Windows and Linux clients I’ve tried. I’ll have to look into this one a bit further. I wonder if it’s something to do with new line markers across the different systems..?

Re: XML-RPC For Textpattern - BETA 2 RELEASED!

Ok, I’ve made some improvements, I think.

Get beta 2.1 here

This should fix the Ecto category bug. At least it does on my machine…

It also provisionally adds support for mt.supportedTextFilters (so Ecto 2’s Textile preview might work, but I wouldn’t bet on it)
