[pmwiki-users] XMLRPC Testers Please

[Crisses]

Thank you, Eric,

I saw that someone posted 2 Android posts on the wiki when I looked at the AllRecentChanges but the group name is '1' which means that the application passed information incorrectly.  It's supposed to pass the group name back when it posts, and I use the group name to form the PmWiki page.  If whomever did that tries again, try a title with the group name in it: i.e. Blog.TestAndroid instead of just TestAndroid. That may correct that issue.

Just fixed the plug-in so it should save the page author's name -- otherwise I'd have known who tried to post (oops!).

Chris K. also tried a couple clients on Linux today... He did manage to post using Blogilo -- but the newlines were stripped out on the way back to the wiki :(  Unfortunately that renders it mostly useless.  

I straightened out the instructions to make the settings as clear as possible (every client handles credentials differently -- very confusing!):  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/XMLRPC-Talk  Only MetaWebLog API has been implemented, and you have to use the API link (there is no auto-discover, no idea how that works).

I'm only creating pass-through code for PmWiki to talk to a phpxmlrpc plug-in.  I'll keep trying.  To help with testing clients without consoles, I've been trying to figure out how to get the original client XML requests to pass through to a log file...  With most apps I'm testing blind.  MarsEdit I've gotten quite far with because there's a console in the app and I can see exactly what's being passed back & forth -- between that and tons of debug messages to the php/apache logs, I'm making progress.  Some progress.

Unfortunately the phpxmlrpc mailing list is quiet and hasn't been particularly helpful regarding the newline problems I'm having.
