Hello,
I am building a site for a photgrapher which will have a Flash front end. I have installed amfphp, and it is working fine. I would like to use the xmlrpc.module to retrieve the node information I need, but I am stuck in a couple of instances.
Flash / amfphp, it appears, cannot interface with a module directly, therefore I need a "service" PHP file which interfaces with Drupal's xmlrpc library and module. So, here's where I am getting confused:
How do I create the interface between this "service" file, the xmlrpc library and the xmlrpc.module? Is it simply an include, and then usage of xmlrpc methods? Also, if I write a custom module that returns the information I need via hook_xmlrpc, what is the method of calling a particular function? I understand how it is used with functions described locally, but the interaction with Drupal is really confusing me.
I searched the forums and found this post, which is essentially what I would like to do, but it makes no mention of the interface method to use between Drupal / xmlrpc and the "service.php" file.
Basically, I need to get an XML formatted list of images in hierarchical taxonomy form back from Drupal.
I have looked at the blogapi.module as well as the documentation regarding converting modules to the new xmlrpc library. Those have helped, but I am still getting confused where I referenced above.
