The Joomla! Forum™

ok .. fine  :P Figured it out. It can be reference through: JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->query["id"] I'm already using a variation of "Determining if you're on the front page": m Because of that, I already have a variable present: $menu = & JSite::getMenu() So, I call $menu->getActive()->quer...

How can I query the section id for the article which is showing?

I'd like to show a different banner based on the section (which is a different city)

Thanks Aini,
Maybe after I see your changes, I'll be able to see enough to contribute more to that area as well.

I started to post a question, but worked through the answer instead.  SEF urls basically include the section ID and category ID in the urls, along with the content ID.  Google News requires 3 or more unique digits in the article URL for news. m It looks like all I need to do is flip the Co...

aini, I've attached my basic ruby testing script. The very last call is the attempt to post.  seems to go nowhere  and   doesn't appear to affect the category or section the new article is assigned to. I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm working on this now only in the background, ...

Aini,
When I tested the newPost before - and< more text>didn't seem to work..  The information seemed to go nowhere..  I haven't traced down the functionality there yet.

Below is a list of the functions and working ruby examples.  Some comments included.  Some more work to be done require 'xmlrpc/client' # Sets server to my site server = XMLRPC::Client.new2('http://joomla.drapetomanics.com/xmlrpc/index.php') ##  function getUserBlogs($appkey, $usernam...

They appear to have examples.  I'm walking through them today.

I only changed how I was using existing code.  In other words, I was using Joomla wrong - but it is also undocumented.  No change to Joomla. I'm going to tinker with it more and try to summarize what I've found.  The initial problem I'm trying to solve is "documenting existing functio...

Amy, Thanks for your help.  I'll look at the MetaWebBlog stuff. After an afternoon cup of coffee, I discovered the Blogger API needed a tag in the last parameter. The following works # function newPost($appkey, $blogid, $username, $password, $content, $publish) result = server.call('blogger.new...

I've seen some confusing messages from  the recent threads on it.  It seemed they said the Blogger API as existed worked in Joomla. Maybe I'll brave that other thread to clarify. I'll be working on something next month and am trying to ramp up and check existing functionality to have a goo...

Below is a ruby script I'm using to call the Joomla XML-RPC Blogger API. All functions work except the call to blogger.newPost It returns an error from Joomla: XMLRPC::FaultException: Post check failed (Error generated from the logic in plgins/xmrpc/blogger.php  line 215) Any ideas on the probl...
