NAME
WordPress::API::Category
CAVEATS
I am having problems with WordPress::XMLRPC::newCategory(), until I resolve that, this module is on hold.
How to id the category
To fetch a category and its attributes, you can provide an id or a categoryName. This is required before you call load() to fetch the data from the server.
$cat->categoryName('Super Stuff');
$cat->id(34);METHODS
category setget methods
categoryId()
setget perl method argument is number
categoryName()
setget perl method argument is string
rssUrl()
setget perl method argument is url
parentId()
setget perl method argument is number
htmlUrl()
setget perl method argument is url
description()
setget perl method argument is string
object_type()
returns string 'Category'
load()
Optional argument is an id or categoryName string. Returns hashref, (but loads data into object)..
my $cat = new WordPress::API::Category({
proxy => 'http://site.com/xmlrpc.php',
username => 'jimmy',
password => 'jimmyspass',
});
$cat->id(5);
$cat->load or die( $cat->errstr );
print $cat->rssUrl;save()
Unfortunately wordpress' xmlrpc command can't edit categories.
MAKING NEW CATEGORY
You cannot save changes to a category, you can only view existing categories and create new ones. If you load() a category you cannot save() it. You can save() and then view its url, etc, though.
$cat->categoryName('House Inspections');
my $id = $cat->save;
# or
$cat->save;
my $id = $cat->id;
# now you can make a new post and set the parent to that category..
#
new WordPress::API::Post ....
