Update: solved this problem see answer
I want to make new posts on my blog remotely with XMLRPC
api and i m trying to use metaWeblog.newPost function, because it provides much features.
I successfully added new posts into wordpress but i failed to post it in a defined category(categories)
i tried lots of various things but failed at end
now i m using code from this site
http://www.samuelfolkes.com/2009/08/posting-to-wordpress-with-php-and-xml-rpc/
after stripping down the code for my needs here's what i got and its working fine
remotepost.class.
php
<?php
class remotePost
{
private $client;
private $wpURL = 'http://localhost/wp/xmlrpc.
php ';
private $ixrPath = '/wp-includes/class-IXR.
php';
private $uname = 'zxc';
private $pass = 'zxc';
public $postID;
function __construct($content)
{
if(!is_array($content)) throw new Exception('Invalid Argument');
include $this->ixrPath;
$this->client = new IXR_Client($this->wpURL);
$this->postID = $this->postContent($content);
}
private function postContent($content)
{
$content['description'] = $content['description'];
if(!$this->client->query('metaWeblog.newPost','',$this->uname,$this->pass,$content,true)) throw new Exception($this->client->getErrorMessage());
return $this->client->getResponse();
}
}
?>
post.
php ( you can name it whatever you want )
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include "remotepost.class.
php";
$content['title'] = $_POST['title'];
$content['categories'] = $_POST['category'];
$content['description'] = $_POST['description'];
try
{
$posted = new remotePost($content);
$pid = $posted->postID;
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
?>
