I have two issues I am hoping someone can assist with.

Running Drupal 6.16, services 6.x-2.0, json server 6.x-2.0-alpha1.

Have API disabled, sessid enabled.

Can connect, login and retrieve/parse views and nodes with node.get and views.get.

but have no luck with file.save and node.save.

example file.save = method="node.save"&sessid="aeufrgi2kk1tm1ra8rfacg9et5"&node="{"uid":"5","title":"newcontent","type":"mytype","name":"testuser","body":""}"

the user can create content via the web site with these values, but via the services call they get:

{
"#error" = 1;
"#message" = "Access denied";
}

and with the file.save, I try a post like:

method="file.save"&sessid="aeufrgi2kk1tm1ra8rfacg9et5"&file="{"filemime":"image/jpeg","fid":"","status":"1","file":"%2F9j%2F4AAQS... HEAPS OF BASE 64 image data ....","uid":"5","filesize":"53675","timestamp":"1269266556","filename":"CEE53B84-CE0C-480E-9BA7-C711295F15E0-11709-00003A626C868B2E.jpg","filepath":"sites/default/files/previewimage/CEE53B84-CE0C-480E-9BA7-C711295F15E0-11709-00003A626C868B2E.jpg"}"

the directory exists, but the call returns a plain "0", no error message or JSON block.

I have been trying to resolve this for 4 days now and am rapidly getting nowhere, I have tried many variations of the calls, such as not including the "Fid" parameter, and/or the status, etc.

Any ideas? Anyone? Please??

Hello skyredwang

Can you please tell me from were do we have to find this patch? I have enable services 2.0 + json_server alpha module on my site.Actually I am a new bee to all this webservices thing. We have requirement from client for scheduling the events through drupal and integrating with android apps.Whenever I click on JSON - /services/json link on services page I get error "{ "#error": true, "#data": "Invalid method " }". What I need to do the set up.

Please help , your help will be really precious to us.

check your PHP version.

check your PHP version. Json_server has compatibility issue with latest version of PHP. Use something before 5.2.8.

Or use the JSONRPC Server

Or use the JSONRPC Server which follows the JSON-RPC standard or the REST Server which also supports JSON as a response format.

thanks

Thanks guys, will look into that. It would have saved me some time if the fact it was broken was on the JSON_Server page though. I guess that's what I get for using an "alpha" :(

Thanks again.

JSON-RPC gives - undefined function services_controller_get()

Posted by roo on March 23, 2010 at 8:18am

OK.

I went with JSON-RPC server, it seemed the logical choice (6.x-2.0-beta2)

However, after realising json_decode was not in php 5.1.6 - I hacked the upgrade to 5.2.11.

But now I am getting:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function services_controller_get() in /var/www/html/modules/jsonrpc_server/JsonRpcServer.php on line 43

Where is this going wrong? I cannot find a reference to this function anywhere. Is it a broken include?

JsonRPC 2.x is intended for

JsonRPC 2.x is intended for use with services 3.x. If you want to use services 2.x you should download the 1.x version.

ok

I just installed JSON-RPC and JSON servers

I'm trying to make a request to the server but I can make it work, because I don't know how to build the request

For now All i got is...

responseData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://**************/services/json-rpc"]];

NSString *jsonString = @"{\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",\"method\": \"node.get\", \"params\": { \"arg1\": 1 } ,\"id\": \"dsadasdas\"}";
NSData *jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF32BigEndianStringEncoding];

[ request setHTTPMethod: @"POST" ];
[ request setHTTPBody: jsonData ];
[ request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-> Type"];

[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

I think the problem is the jsonstring

Any idea??

It might be the UTF32

It might be the UTF32 encoding that's causing the problems, and you should never hand-code json or other data formats. Other than that I would suggest that you take a look at the rest server and the api-cleanup branch of my HBaseLibrary: http://github.com/hugowetterberg/HBaseLibrary/tree/api-cleanup

This tutorial is a bit outdated, but should give you some pointers: http://goodold.se/blog/tech/integrate-iphone-app-drupal

There's also the DocuWalk app: http://github.com/hugowetterberg/docuwalk-app
...which I haven't had time to polish up with guides etc. But it should serve as a mini-guide to integrating with Drupal using services and HBaseLibrary.

There's also the guide to writing services and creating endpoints using services 3.x: http://github.com/hugowetterberg/services-3.x-sample/blob/master/creatin...

Cheers,
Hugo

do we need to setup arguments in /admin/build/services/browse/node.save in order for this to work?

I get 301 redirect errors anytime I try to use curl to access any methods

Thanks .. for sharing it
