DESCRIPTION

Adds support for the MovableType XML-RPC API

OBJECT METHODS

$obj->getRecentPostTitles(\%args)

Valid arguments are :

count
Int.

The number of post titles to fetch. Default is 20
asc
Boolean.

As in: return data ordered by ascending date. By default, items are returned 'most recent first'.

Returns an array ref of hash refs. Each hash ref contains the following keys :

postid
userid
title
String.
dateCreated
String, formatted as a W3CDTF datetime.

This method was introduced in Net::Blogger 0.86 and does not accept arguments passed as a list. They must be passed by reference.

$obj->getCategoryList()

Returns an array ref of hash references.

$obj->getPostCategories(\%args)

Valid arguments are

•: postid
String. required

Releases prior to Net::Blogger 0.85 accepted a list of arguments rather than a reference. Version 0.85+ are backwards compatible.

Returns an array ref of hash references

$obj->setPostCategories(\%args)

Valid argument are

•

postid

String. Required

categories

Array ref. required

The MT docs state that :

•: The array categories is an array of structs containing

categoryId
String.
isPrimary
Using isPrimary to set the primary category is optional--in the absence of this flag, the first struct in the array will be assigned the primary category for the post

Releases prior to Net::Blogger 0.85 accepted a list of arguments rather than a reference. Version 0.85+ are backwards compatible.

Returns true or false
