XML-RPC Interface
Last updated by Anon on Tuesday, 08/21/2001 - 22:18

Readme
Implements the entire Blogger.com xmlrpc API.
A start on a pure Drupal equivalent.

Download

Requirements
This requires V3 of Drupal. I suggest you get the lastest version of Drupal from CVS.

Installation
  • copy these into the directories
    /modules/xmlrpcblog.module Harness to drive the system for testing. Can also be used against other blogger.com API implementations.
    /modules/blog_xmlrpc.inc

    Add this line to the end of blog.module
    include_once "modules/blog_xmlrpc.inc";

    Requires blog_save() in blog.module to return the new nid after an insert.
    eg
    $nid = node_save(etc...
    }
    }
    return $nid;
