XML RCP for Wordpress sites

[Stroks]

Does anyone have a XML-RCP code for posting to wordpress sites?

I have found these ones - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9051912/send-post-tags-to-wordpress-within-xml-rpc and http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=419 but i am not sure could they work, because there are some libraries for which I have no idea how to include in zennoposter C# ?

Is there anyone who cases to share a working solution. I guess someone uses this, because it is not possible that everyone post on wordpress blogs using slow manual method.

You don't need c# code to post to wordpress blogs. Just use HTTP POST using XML-RPC. All wordpress.com blogs come with it turned on.

Thanks.
I didn;t exactly understood how to do it. I have found HTTP POST under post request, but i do not see what is the RCP part or how to format the posts and is it possible to retrieve the url of the posted article?

If your blog name is say bigcajones then in the POST action you would put http://bigcajones.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php for the url. In the Data box you will put...

?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodCall>
  <methodName>wp.newPost</methodName>
  <params>
    <param><value>1</value></param>
    <param><value>{-Variable.blog_username-}</value></param>
    <param><value>{-Variable.pass-}</value></param>
    <param>
      <value>
        <struct>
          <member><name>post_type</name>
            <value>post</value></member>
		<member><name>post_status</name>
            <value>publish</value></member>
		  <member><name>post_title</name>
            <value>{-Variable.title-}</value></member>
		  <member><name>post_content</name>
            <value><string>{-Variable.Content-}</string></value></member>
	          
      </struct></value>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodCall>

Replace the Variables with information you pull from your template. One note:* In your content if you have html you will have to replace the '<' and '>' respectively with '&lt;' and '&gt;' respecively since these are characters used for XML. If you have them in your content anywhere, the title will be posted but the content will not.

The POST will return XML with your blog post ID in it. All the info you need is found here...

Awesome. This saves tons of time.



However the XML-RCP is completelly unusable, because it doesn't preserve HTML formatting. It can only post text and not links in WP 3.2.1.

I am getting this error response:

It seems not to work because I use WP 3.3 on my site.

Solution - if you use version of wordpress earlier than 3.4 use this XML

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
  <methodName>metaWeblog.newPost</methodName>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>
        <int>1</int>
      </value>
    </param>
    <param>
      <value>
        <string>{-Variable.Login-}</string>
      </value>
    </param>
    <param>
      <value>
        <string>{-Variable.Password-}</string>
      </value>
    </param>
    <struct>    
      <member>
        <name>title</name>
        <value><string>title</string></value>
      </member>
      <member>
        <name>description</name>
        <value><string>description</string></value>
      </member>
    </struct>  
    <param>
      <value>
        <bool>true</bool>
      </value>
    </param>    
  </params>  
</methodCall>

title = variable title
description = variable article
