D7 Tutorial system.connect and further

Hi, Volvo I am do it, I think the Services 3.x for Drupal7 tutorials is too old. But I learning Services 3.x for Drupal7. I need help too.
I interesting Services3.x for android mobile.

Im not sure how to do it with XMLRPC, but its working perfectly by POSTing to system/connect on the REST server

Sorry, kylebrowning I don't know too.
I'm use REST server can login, but I can't register though the path: www.domain.com/myserv/user
It error: [code] => 401 [error] => Unauthorized: Access denied for user 0 "anonymous"
I don't understand the code in the path:sites/all/modules/services/resources/user_resource.inc line:209 follow:
202
203 // Any logged in user is by default authenticated,
204 // and leaving this role set in the user's roles array
205 // causes big problems because of a FAPI hack that controls
206 // this checkbox on the user create and edit form (and thus
207 // causes problems with drupal_execute()). Therefore we just
208 // force it to 0 here.
209 if (isset($account->roles[2])) {
210 $account->roles[2] = 0;
211 }

have anybody help. how to create user or register
my test PHP code follow:

$account = array(
'name' => 'zoo',
'pass' => 'zoo',
'mail' => 'zoo@**.com',
);
$data = array(
'account' => $account,
);
$data = http_build_query($data, '', '&');
$optionss = array(
'headers' => $headers,
'method' => 'POST',
'data' => $data,
'max_redirects' => 3,
'timeout' => 30.0,
'context' => NULL,
);
$response = drupal_http_request($base_url . '/user', $optionss);

Do anonymous users have the permission to create user accounts?

Yes you can do the same with REST, you just dont need a specific client like xmlrpc. With REST you just send a HTTP request with some data and boom, your done. You can do a lot of testing to an API just via a web browser, although theres various HTTP Clients out there.

yes，I want to register a user from android with REST.Can you help me?

I know this isnt a lot of information, but you can look in TESTS on how its handled. BAsically you need to send all of the data you listed, and to fill in an image /photo that data would look like this

&node[status]=1&node[title]=atitle&node[type]=article&node[language]=und&node[date]=now&node[body][und][0][value]=smallbody&node[field_image][und][0][fid]=11

Where fid is the ID of the file uploaded from the post to /APIENDPOINT/file

It migtht be required that you use a cookie, although im uncertain. Ill take a look later.

@ Volvo
where you use REST server? android?

You need to set the Cookie header, with the information thats returned from user/login.

Session based authentication with just a sessid is no longer supported I believe. You need to set your cookie

I come from China. Today is the Spring Festival. Happy New Year to everybody！

@ Volvo
Can you give me you email? I am creating app for android from Services module.

You are right! thanks

@volvo, at #10: Rest class are you create? I think your method is grade。 can you show it in this web.

@Kyle, at #4: you said:Do anonymous users have the permission to create user accounts?
how to set the permission? I am set in drupal7,but give the msg too :Access denied for user 0 "anonymous".

@Volvo "I think your method is grade" I mean your Class is good, it can reuse everytime to connect.wait for your link :-)

There is documentation on how to make authenticated requests to the REST server at

http://drupal.org/node/910598

This example uses PHP, but the important thing is setting the 'Cookie' header with session name and session data on EVERY request after you login.

AS far as sending photos, right now they need to be Base64 encoded.

Thanks for sharing the link,
I want to register a user, but don't how to do.
follow is my code. but it don't works. help me please...

public StringBuilder servicesUserCreate() {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
try {

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String url = "http://192.168.1.2/drupal7/myserv/user";
class Account{
public String name;
public String pass;
public String mail;

}
Account account = new Account();
account.name = "yyy";
account.pass = "yyy";
account.mail = "yyy@google.com";
Map data = new HashMap();
data.put("account", account);

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

ArrayList postData = new ArrayList();
for (Map.Entry m: data.entrySet()){
postData.add(new BasicNameValuePair(m.getKey(),m.getValue().toString()));
}

UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postData, HTTP.UTF_8);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);

HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
response.getEntity().getContent()));
for (String s = reader.readLine(); s != null; s = reader.readLine()) {
builder.append(s);
}

return builder;

} catch (Exception e) {
Log.v("url response", "false");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;

}

#and I set in the drupal7 like in the attachments
thanks

@Volvo the best source to look for example are tests. Here is piece of code that uploads image (in php of course):

    // Create file argument with data.
    $file = array(
      'filesize' => filesize($this->testfile->uri),
      'filename' => $this->testfile->filename,
      'file' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($this->testfile->uri)),
      'uid' => $this->privileged_user->uid,
    );

    // Create file with call.
    $result = $this->servicesPost($this->endpoint->path . '/file', array('file' => $file));

So in order to create a file you need to base64 encode content of the file and pass it in array with filesize, filename and user id.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm a newbie to Drupal and PHP but have managed to install D7 and Services 3.x (also enabled it both XMLRPC and REST services)... drupal itself runs fine and i can access drupal at http://myserver/drupal/.

I'd like to use the XMLRPC or REST services to import data into drupal but I can't seem to get the correct URL for XMLRPC or REST and I've tried the following which fails: at http://myserver/drupal/services/xmlrpc AND http://myserver/?q=services/xmlrpc ... the same thing for REST http://myserver/drupal/services/rest/.... AND http://myserver/drupal/?q=services/rest...

Tell me what the correct URLs for XMLRPC and REST should be ?

thanks.

It depends on what you name your endpoints there is no specific url.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand.

Drupal works fine @ http://myserver/drupal. I simply followed in the instructions for the Services module, enabled XMLRPC and REST in the configuration page, hit save. and I assummed I can write a small XMLRPC client app to access a simple call like user.login or system.connect @ http://myserver/drupal/?q=services/xmlrpc

Was there something I missed? where was I supposed to name my end points?

thanks.

Which version of services are you using?

I've tried 3.x-rc3 and 3.x-dev both with same issue.

Ok so 3.x you need to set up an end point. The docs you read likely refered to 2.x. The link to set up an endpoint can be found here admin/structure/services on rc4 at least.

Thanks! that worked.

Now, I'll certainly RTFM later, but is there documentation on these functions and expected arguments?

I did the following and got error 500:

-- groovy code --
import groovy.net.xmlrpc.XMLRPCServerProxy
XMLRPCServerProxy serverProxy = new XMLRPCServerProxy("http://myserver/drupal/xmlrpc")
def session = serverProxy.invokeMethod ("system.connect",[])
def user =serverProxy.invokeMethod ("user.login",[session, 'admin','admin'])

----error occurred on system.connect line---
XML-RPC call Failure: fault string = "Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://myserver/drupal/xmlrpc", fault code = 0

Thanks again.

Cool - Hehe this might be help https://gist.github.com/affc9864487bb1b9c918 it is rest based but the args are the same.

Or look at the tests that ship with services for examples admittely most are REST based. If you can use rest I would advise that to be honest as the rest server has lots of tests.

Thanks!

Ok, I'm able to create nodes (using XMLRPC) without an issue however I'm not able to create them as a logged-in user, so my nodes are being created as Anonymous etc. I'm able to get a sessionID and sessionName from user.login but how do I call node.create so it has the user info in it?

I tired this and it failed with a 406 http error.

def args = [ title:'Sample Auto Page', body:[und:[[value:'This is a post @ '+new Date()]]] ,
type:'conceptual_meta_type', field_bu:[und:[[value:'Retail']]] ]
def sessid = 'Sr6d_W3DHq0kq6gGqsQcS2IDaWmps2epVHoBaPuc4bY' // got this from the user.login call

serverProxy.invokeMethod ('node.create', [sessid, args]);

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

so, check_writer, did you manage to solve the issue?
