These are real life usage examples. But the Snippets pages cover things a lot more and in-depth.
Amateur Usage Example
<?php
// Require elWpAPI presence
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/WpAPI.php');
// Enter your blog domain[/path] (path is optional)
$xmlrpc = 'http://.../xmlrpc.php';
// And your admin account and password here
list($username, $password) = array('admin', '...');
// Prepare the elWpAPI object
$wpapi = new elWpAPI($xmlrpc, $username, $password);
$post_ID = null; // Init upfront postID to 0
// Test credentials and proceed only on success
if($valid_login = $wpapi->validateLogin()){
// Get the blog title and description.
$blog_title = $wpapi->getBlogTitle();
$blog_description = $wpapi->getBlogTagline();
// Now attempt to post and act accordingly based on result
$post_ID = $wpapi->createPost(
'Title', 'Text', 'More Text (Optional)', 'Excerpt',
'post-slug', // The slug of the new post
0, // Let time be setup by WordPress
'publish', // Publish or Draft
// Categories (, OR CRLF separated string also accepted)
array('Category1', 'Category2',),
// Tags (, OR CRLF separated string also accepted)
array('Tag1', 'Tag2',),
// Array of custom fields
array('cf1' => 'Value1', 'cf2' => 'Value2',)
);
}
// Here we query the Error log for a report of last call
// (Error info is returned regardless of success state)
$error = $wpapi->getLastError(); // Minimal error info
$error_ex = $wpapi->getLastErrorEx(); // Detailed error info
if(!$valid_login){
// Credentials are wrong, handle as you wish
}else{
if(is_numeric($post_ID) and (($post_ID = intval($post_ID)) > 0)){
// We get here only if posting succeeds, handle as you wish
}else{
// Failed to post, handle as you wish also
}
}
?>
Professional Usage Example
<?php
// Require elWpAPIwrap presence (it pulls elWpAPI in by itself)
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/WpAPIwrap.php');
// Enter your blog domain[/path] (path is optional)
$xmlrpc = 'http://.../xmlrpc.php';
// And your admin account and password here
list($username, $password) = array('admin', '...');
// Prepare the elWpAPI object
$wpapi = new elWpAPI($xmlrpc, $username, $password);
// elWpAPIwrap is created by using an elWpAPI as constructor argument
$wpwrap = new elWpAPIwrap($wpapi);
// This is how easy it is to create a post with native WP API
// It's the same as using wp_insert_post() when writing Plugins
$postID = $wpwrap->Wp_Insert_Post(array(
'post_title' => 'Title1',
'post_content' => 'Text1',
'post_status' => 'publish',
));
// Success lies within numbers
if(is_numeric($postID)){
// Add post custom field
$wpwrap->Update_Post_Meta($postID, 'metaname', 'metavalue');
// And this is how you delete it (permanently, no trash)
$wpwrap->Wp_Delete_Post($postID, true);
}
?>
