Gallery Plugin XMLRPC Interface

Basically this plugin creates XMLRPC interfaces for Gallery Plugin.
Thanks for the author of Extended API, Michael Grosser, since this plugin has reused the design.
NOTE: API functions (xmlrpc revoke functions) are all prefixed with ‘i_gllrxmlrpc’.

1. Gallery plugin has to be installed as the pre-requisite condition. You can find Gallery Plugin here, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gallery-plugin/
2. unzip the plugin
3. Upload plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
5. In administrator portal, click Settings->Gallery Plugin XMLRPC Interface to enable/disable the api functions.

Warning: Debug Error log is being appended into the WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/debug.log’; Make sure that in production environment, trun off the debug directive in wp-includes/default-constants.php

Exmaple to invoke the xmlrpc api in PHP

//this example demo how to invoke the api to delete a image in the album
set_time_limit(0);
require_once(“IXR_Library.php.inc”);

$client->debug = true; // Set it to false in Production Environment

// Create the client object
$client = new IXR_Client(‘{zonename}’,’/xmlrpc.php?delete_images[]={imageID}’);

$username = “{admin login name}”;
$password = “{password}”;

$function_args = array(array(”,$username,$password,'{postID}’, array()));
$params = array($username,$password,”i_gllrxmlrpc_editpost”, $function_args);

// Run a query To Read Posts From WordPress
$ret = $client->query(‘gllrxmlrpc_extapi.callGllrMethod’, $params);
if (!$ret) {
die(‘Something went wrong – ‘.$client->getErrorCode().’ : ‘.$client->getErrorMessage());
}

$myresponse = $client->getResponse();
print_r($myresponse);

Exmaple to invoke the xmlrpc api in java

client = new XMLRPCClient(WordPress.currentBlog.getUrl(),
WordPress.currentBlog.getHttpuser(),
WordPress.currentBlog.getHttppassword());

Object[] result = null;
//
Map<String, String> gallery_type = new HashMap<String, String>();
gallery_type.put(“post_type”, “gallery”);
//String[] return_fields = {“post_title”, “post_type”};

Object[] fArgs = {“”, WordPress.currentBlog.getUsername(),WordPress.currentBlog.getPassword(),gallery_type};
Object[] funcArgs = {fArgs};
//
Object[] params = {
WordPress.currentBlog.getUsername(),
WordPress.currentBlog.getPassword(),
“i_gllrxmlrpc_metaweblog_getposts”,
funcArgs };
try {
result = (Object[]) client.call(“gllrxmlrpc_extapi.callGllrMethod”, params);
} catch (XMLRPCException e) {
errorMsg = e.getMessage();
}

Exmaple to invoke the delete post api in php

debug = true; // Set it to fase in Production Environment

// Create the client object
$client = new IXR_Client(‘hushanqi.localhost’,’/xmlrpc.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=13505726480152′);

$username = “{user name}”;
$password = “{password}”;

$function_args = array(array(”,$username,$password,’99’));

$params = array($username,$password,”i_gllrxmlrpc_deletepost”, $function_args);

// Run a query To Read Posts From WordPress
if (!$client->query(‘gllrxmlrpc_extapi.callGllrMethod’, $params)) {
die(‘Something went wrong – ‘.$client->getErrorCode().’ : ‘.$client->getErrorMessage());
}

$myresponse = $client->getResponse();
print_r($myresponse);
die();
?>
