Hi all!

Just wondering what does the XMLRPC API in drupal have on offer? can i access parts to most modules with it? or is it so drupal can access outside resources via XMLRPC?

I suggest looking at the code for the blogapi.module as it is the fullest example of how XML-RPC is used. In short, however, Drupal can be both the originator and the end point for XML-RPC calls, and the full Drupal runtime API is available. Not a lot has been done with this potential, however, and new initiatives are welcome.

Sorry to interrupt, but does XMLRPC work if my drupal is installed in a subdir? I had problems trying to use an external application, which could post blogs through XMLRPC(blogapi.module). It works for another drupal sites installed in root dir. I have asked the question here, but havent got an answer. Thanks.

You added your comment to a former bug report closed 'working as expected' for Drupal version 4.3 and reopened by someone else as a feature request.

You also do not say what you have done. Have you followed the instructions found here: http://drupal.org/node/6315 ? have you included the directory in the path?

All my sites are in the root directory so I can not test this, but you neglect to say what you have done to test this.

Hi sepeck,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't tried wblogger yet, the application I used was a experimental version from igooi.com. It's quite possible the problem is from igooi's software not drupal. So that's why I wanted to know if anyone with drupal installed in subdir can post blogs through xmlrpc. You are right, I will try wblogger and report back.
