elWpAPI (Wordpress API) has gone Incutio XMLRPC Library (IXR) Friendly
Just had a client telling me his hosting service has updated PHP and somehow lost elWpAPI functionality on the way. I don't know what they have done but maybe disabled the XMLRPC extension.
This is a first, but , as I seek to please (sigh) :) I quickly made the code compatible with IXR. Get the library here directly. So, right now, you should be able to use this without the PHP XMLRPC Extension. I tested it and it works but you make sure to save the oldie but goldie version before you try on the new one. I might have missed stuff on the way ... it happens when I speed code.
Enjoy.
There are a few changes in the code. If the response is a fault (error) the returned result will always be null. Use $wp->wasError() or $wp->wasSuccess() to determine success status. This way it will be a lot easier to determine success state of an operation. Use if(!($response = $wp->doStuff())) return false;
You can also totally avoid PHP XMLRPC if IXR exists by changing this to TRUE: define('FORCE_IXR_XMLRPC', false);
If you got problems ... the comment form is below. And go get a fresh copy!
I would like to use elWpAPI to manage wp blogs from desktop.
So, my question :
Is elWpAPI compatible to the existing wp xmlrpc format so that I can call from window client like VB, C# and delphi apps?
You should not use this to post from a C# client. Just write a C# class to remote post to your blogs.
You could get this class to reverse engineer it and write your own but … using an intermediary is overkill.
I have this very code in C++ but can’t share as it’s SDK only and relies on other classes I have. Non-MFC.
I already have C# app to post to blogs using the wp default xmlrpc api, I wonder if elWpAPI can be used too, so to manage the whole blog.
If I buy, do you have “working example” page to test each api method.
The sample codes are available on the page.
You can see them there.
Download again, place IXR in same folder with elWpAPI and require_once the IXR before you require_once elWpAPI in your script.

From your code pasted here I can see you have not update the xmlrpc.php and wpapi.php on your server.
Please download the new copies. There is no xmlrpc_is_fault in elWpAPI anymore.
