Using the latest from svn – no matter which API type I use with MarsEdit I get the response:

Can’t do get recent posts for spotthehall because the server reported an error. XML-RPC Response Parsing Failed: The XML parser could not parse the data.

When trying Scribefire, I get the following for Textpattern, Moveable Type and Metaweblog settings:

The server returned a malformed response. Please check that your blog and API URLs are correct.

I had a little more success with the “Official” XML-RPC, but only text, no images.

You would’t really expect that you could excise the current development build of XML-RPC and drop that in 4.0.6 as a working component, would you? Please await the official release of TXP 4.0.7 where XML-RPC will be a supported part of the package.

Robert: OK, I will be patient :) I was only confused by your patch announcements which sounded like (to my stupid me) there is a patched version for 4.0.6 available (somewhere). Thanks for the clarification.

Ah, I misunderstood as well.

r2934 hopefully fixes the time zone issues. From my POV the XML-RPC server component has thus reached a feature-complete state for TXP 4.0.7.

As always, all field reports are welcome.

Good news wet, does this mean image upload via email is supported, as I’m sure it will be now within MarsEdit etc?

wet · 2008-07-05 11:58:04

Post/upload by email is not a XML-RPC technology so this won’t be part of our XML-RPC server in Txp 4.0.7. There are XML-RPC-based methods of media management, which also won’t be a part of 4.0.7. This leaves room for expansions in one of the next releases, if significant demand arises.

Hi all! Any idea when there’ll be support for custom fields and excerpts?

candyman · 2009-06-02 10:31:25

+1: custom fields and excerpts are crucial!

=============================

I suppose this is on the “back burner” ? I’ve tried to use “Scribefire” with 4.2 release and received the same error message.

I’ve searched the web and all over for directions or, perhaps, some identical problems, but no luck. Does this work? If so are there some doc’s I can read (step-by-step) ‘cuz I’ve looked everywhere.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve got some similar problems – reported here but no one ever even answered to my post. I also searched the web high and low for solutions, been in touch with the developer of MarsEdit and my webhost – in the end, Textpattern does not accept posting from MarsEdit but doesn’t send back any meaningful error messages that either of those people could make sense of.

Frankly, it seems that XML-RPC in Textpattern is THERE but if it doesn’t work out of the box for you, you’re out of luck.

TJ · 2010-01-23 12:08:31

Thank Andreas. I appreciate the feedback.

candyman · 2010-05-04 20:42:33

MarsEdit v3 is out with support for WordPress Pages and Custom Fields.

Any chance to get TXP excerpts&custom fields support too?

ecklesroad · 2010-07-20 13:30:55

Was there ever any fix to making XML-RPC post to a section, at least “articles” by default if nothing else. I started a thread about posting from Posterous here. I figured out how to post from Posterous but the post does not assign a section to the article.

Hello

I have just started using RPC in multisite (4.4.1) environment. It takes however some effort to start. This is what I did, please show me places to improve:

1) I had to link “rpc” dir into the “public” dir to have an access to http://domain/rpc url
2) in rpc/index.php I had to change path to config.php file, which is set to one-site install by design
3) (sever issue, I suppose) I had to add explicit date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin'); in the TXP_RPCServer.php because of en error (you cannot rely on server timezone blah blah…)

That’s all, now it’s working

Yours
Adam
