XML/RPC link

[oliverg]

What exactly is the link to the XML/RPC call?

...if my blog is at blog.oliver-gassner.de and the system files are in /serendipity ?

Thanks

Hi!

If you have the xmlrpc plugin, it should put the autodiscovery link into the HTML head. It's http://blog.oliver-gassner.de/serendipity_xmlrpc.php

feature request:
It would be cool if that link was **somewhere** in the plugin (Yes, I have it ;=))

Thanks

Another Question:

The xml/rpc thing asks for a 'category' I left that blank (and it does not work) should I use one and which one?

Thanks

Hi!

Yes, a good idea to add the link to it in the config section for the plugin.

As for the category, it's only used when you do not specfy any category for your blog posting. If xmlrpc does not work, it might depend on your clients configuration. Also you might want to contact Grischa (blog.brockha.us, @gbrockhaus), he is currently working on improving the XMLRPC plugin.

Hm,

I HAVE the plugin bit the link is NOT in theheader ;(

cf. blog.oliver-gassner.de

hi!

This is strange; which plugin version are you running? It contans the autodiscovery output in the "frontend_header" hook, and Sagittarius-A (your template) also calls that hook. You are using an unmodified index.tpl of that template, right? The frontend_header call is there in the <header>-section, right?

I just updated.
No entry in header.

[garvinhicking]

What about index.tpl?

[blog.brockha.us]

If you have installed and enabled the xml-rpc plugin, there should be the link in your html header, if your template does not deny header changes (what would be bad).

So something has to be wrong there..

Yes, a good idea to add the link to it in the config section for the plugin.

Why that? What's the use of it? The link is always the same..

But you'd have to check your PHP files in the directory to know that this is the endpoint, because this is not elsewhere documented...so I do think it would be helpful.

Ah! Sorry, misunderstanding.. I thought you want it to be configurable there. But you only want it to be documented there.. This is something other, of course.

But even then: You have to give your blog url to the XML-RPC client, not the xml-rpc url (the client will detect the xmlrpc url). So documenting it is okay, but still: what for really?

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Not necessarily; there are a few clients that do not support XMLRPC autodetection so you need to tell them the "API endpoint".

Ah.. Right.. Okay.. I will add this info to the xml-rpc pluing.
