Moline Software - Drupal Interface Writer

I've written a quick console application that allows you to connect to a Drupal site and create a *.cs file that contains an Interface with the available method calls to that server.

Requirements

You'll need the following information to get this to work. This version does not contain the "Begin..." and "End..." method for asynchronous calls. It is also assuming that the site is using “Key Authentication” for security. With is: “An API key is required to allow an application to access Drupal remotely.”
1.    Key
2.    Domain
3. XmlRpc Service URL

Application Arguments

These arguments are to be filled in from the “../admin/build/services/keys” of your site.
[/ServiceURL:] [/ServiceKey:] [/Domain:]

How-To

Once you have the above information, simply run the command to connect and pull the information. Here’s an example of how it should look from the command line:

MolineSoftware.DrupalInterfaceWriter.exe
/serviceurl:http://www.mysite.com/?q=services/xmlrpc
/servicekey:eab5851174c7a5b134b2c7c0f3f9a25a
/domain:mysite.com

**NOTE: No spaces between the “:” and your value.

Aaron, thanks for fixing the link. But I got another error trying to run it:

I tried with and without key, with and without sessions. Are you willing to share your source code? If I can find the problem, I'll fix it and send it back to you.

Thanks!
Brian.

Updated Code

Hi Brian,

I've fixed the code. However, the coding issue was in my MolineSoftware.DrupalXmlRpc project and I need to take a closer look at it. I need to do some testing to validate the code change is universal to work everywhere. Please let me know if you get any more errors in it.

Regards,

Aaron

Hi Brian,

[/ServiceURL:] [/ServiceKey:] [/Domain:]

I double-checked and triple-checked the key and domain. I even added a new key.

Service Configuration

Submitted by Administrator on Sun, 01/24/2010 - 15:30.

Hi Brain,

Please check your "Token expiry time: " for service configuration in Drupal. What are you seeing in your "Recent Log Entries" report for the connection?

 

I'm testing this againist: 

  • Services: 6.x-2.x-dev
  • Key Authentication: 6.x-2.x-dev
  • 6.x-2.x-dev

 

Regards,

Aaron

Sorry, had to update the file location after last upgrade. It should be working correctly now.
