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

$obj->setPostCategories(\%args)

  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

$obj->getTrackbackPings(\%args)

• *

  postid

  String.

Returns an array reference of hash references who keys are :

• pingTitle
