Hello,
The plugin presently does not include functionality for user or role specific ACLs. This isn’t a feature I’m planning to add to it in the foreseeable future, but is something you could definitely add to the plugin in your code base if you wish.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Hi,
Are you receiving an error when installing the plugin? I’ve tried it in 3.5 in the past and was able to install it, so a bit more background on what you’re seeing would be helpful. Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the info. I’ll look at handling that a bit more gracefully in the plugin.

Hi Paolo,
I would not rely on it for your functions methods due to the fact that there is no way to guarantee in WordPress that my plugin loads after your plugin loads. This means that, in the top-down PHP execution, the functions from your module may not have been declared yet by the time my plugin instantiates. Due to the mechanism by which my plugin reads available functions, your functions would be unreadable in that situation.

You can, however, use the source of my module as an example for how you can expose the methods of your module similarly, though you’d have to implement the code directly in your module.

Hi,
Just to confirm, are you trying to do this with my extended API plugin or are you using the native XML-RPC method to do this?

If you’re using my plugin, then you’d create a post with wp_create_post() and then use wp_set_post_terms() to assign the post to categories.

You may be able to use “tax_input” attribute from the create post method to accomplish the same thing. See this page in the codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

The format you’re using above seems to suggest that you’re trying to use the native API method and not my plugin.

I will look into those methods as soon as I can. I’ve got a couple of projects going on at the moment though, so I can’t promise a specific time period.

The example uses add_post_meta(), which only supports adding a single key/value to a post’s meta data at a single time.

Since the main idea of the module is to make the typical WordPress hooks available, you can pretty much always check the WordPress documentation to see what you can and can’t do with any particular method. The plugin should support calling any WordPress method and passing any parameters that the given method supports. The example just shows one sample of calling a WordPress method so that users of the plugin can ensure their overall syntax is correct, rather than trying to show an example of everything possible with the plugin.

I’ll note the toggle for the next release of the plugin, thanks for the idea.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Glad you got it sorted. Please feel free to let me know if you run into any other difficulty.

Did you have to make a fix? If so, would you mind letting me know what that is, and I’ll apply it to the next release. Thanks.

While I apologize for the inconvenience, the error you are receiving is an error that would only be generated by PHP 5.4. The plugin has not been tested with nor guaranteed to work on PHP 5.4. For the time being, you can downgrade to PHP 5.3.X or wait for a version to be released that supports 5.4.

Also, it would have been appreciated if you reached out to me before 1-starring the plugin, especially since it’s still marked as a beta release. Please remember as this is both a beta and free release, I can’t guarantee compatibility with any and every system, but I’m always more than happy to assist if someone emails me or contacts me through my website, as many have done with regard to this plugin.

System administration isn’t my strong suit. I don’t have any experience with NGINX either.

Can you try on a standard Apache install and see if you have better luck? If it works properly on a standard Apache install then at least we’ll know the problem is the NGINX config.

Hi Davy,
Unfortunately I don’t know enough Objective-C to provide you concrete help, but I did see there’s a library you could try to use to work with XML-RPC in Objective-C:
https://github.com/eczarny/xmlrpc

Here’s one specific for WordPress:
https://github.com/davestitz/XMLRPC-Starter-Kit-for-iOS-Wordpress

The calls to the methods exposed by my extension should be formatted similarly to any other XML-RPC call. You would pass the WordPress function you want to use along with the parameters you need and you should be good to go.

I realize this is old. I wish I received emails when people post on this forum, but in any case, I’m working on a solution for this.

I hope to have it incorporated into a release in the very near future.

That’s a good idea, though it’s significantly more involved than accessing the procedural functionals.

I’ll look into it for a future update for sure, as it would definitely open up things to outside access even further.
