(For code applying to the D7 node model, see this comment)

Expected responses

Response code:

if successful:

200 OK

The body contains the nid of the new node.

if unsuccessful:

Response codes:

401 Unauthorized:
Wrong username or password.
406 Not Acceptable:
Title field required / type field is required

Testing the code on your server

  • On your endpoint make sure you enabled the XMLRPC backend and the 'node' resource including the 'create' action.
  • For unauthenticated testing, give anonymous users the permission to create 'article' nodes.
  • Using one of these tools, POST the code to your resource's URL (http://mydrupalsite/foo/node), with 'content-type' being set to 'text/xml' or 'application/xml'.
  • If you aliased the 'node' resource, both the POST URL and the <methodName> need to be adapted.

can anyone tell what to node.update?

I can not get the example to work - the body field is not inserted, while the title is. Something different in the structure?

I'm trying to create nodes using node.create method but I received an error Access denied. In service 3.x doens't have parameter to set session or username,password, so how I can pass those parameters?

XML not working in D7. D7 has different structure for body field. thats why body is not getting saved.

I managed to add node in c#. But only anonymous (you must turn on anonymous adding node in your Drupal) and without specified language.

Code as follow:

Drupal stuff :
public struct DrupalNode
{
public string type;
public string title;
public XmlRpcStruct body;
//public string language;
//public string uid;
// public string status;
//public string promote;
//public string comment;
}

Interface:
[XmlRpcUrl("http://test.mysite.com/services")]
public interface IServiceSystem : IXmlRpcProxy
{
[XmlRpcMethod("system.connect")]
Drupal Connect();

[XmlRpcMethod("user.login")]
// Drupal UserLogin1(string hash, string timestamp, string domain, string nonce, string sessid, string username, string password);
Drupal UserLogin(string username, string password);

[XmlRpcMethod("node.retrive")]
void NodeRetrive(int nid, string[] fields);

[XmlRpcMethod("user.logout")]
void UserLogout();

[XmlRpcMethod("node.create")]
XmlRpcStruct NodeSave(DrupalNode Node);
}

And main engine to add node:

DrupalNode node = new DrupalNode();

XmlRpcStruct innerValue = new XmlRpcStruct();
innerValue.Add("value", "body txt");

XmlRpcStruct language = new XmlRpcStruct();
language.Add("0", innerValue);

XmlRpcStruct body = new XmlRpcStruct();
body.Add("und", language);
node.body = body;
node.type = "article";
node.title = "title123421";
XmlRpcStruct responseStruct= iss.NodeSave(node);

It works for me, BUT:
no idea how to add node as logged user and in neutral language. My 'und' language (look at code) doesn't work. In database I've got empty field in language column.

This is how it looks in Drupal in admin content module:
title123421 Article Anonymous (not verified) published 01/26/2012 - 21:08 Undefined language ()

Anyone have ideas ???
