Services

This is a discussion and working group for anyone interested in the Services module and related modules.

Drupal Authorization

Posted by ilovedrupal-gdo on June 29, 2009 at 9:59am

Hello. I am trying to get services using authorization to work but I am running into an issue. I have services 6.x-1.x-dev installed, key authentication, json server and xmlrpc server. I have the node,search,system,user and views service turned on and I am running the latest stable drupal 6. I am trying to use the python script below to connect and return a node from services (I have also tried with a view and also using php but run into similar problems). If I go to site building -> services -> settings and remove the use keys and use sessid (and don't send the auth.

"Token has been used previously for a request"

Posted by ZDavid on June 27, 2009 at 11:18pm

Thanks for the help everyone. I finally got the c# program logged in and reading nodes correctly with an API key.

Now the exception being thrown when I try to save a new node is "Token has been used previously for a request"

Why does this come up?

XML-RPC methods/struct to create new node question

Posted by ZDavid on June 26, 2009 at 12:29am

I'm trying to create a simple c# app that logs into my drupal site and creates a node, doesn't need to be secure or fancy.

[XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)] public struct DrupalUser { // Fields public string name; public string email; }

    [XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)]

        public string sessionid;
        public DrupalUser user;

    }

    public struct DrupalNode

No permission for views_service module

Posted by bstoppel on June 22, 2009 at 8:06pm

I encountered another problem that I am assuming has to do with the lack of permissions for views_service.

First, my setup is completely up-to-date.

The problem is that from Flash on my desktop Services doesn't return any results from Views, ie the returned object is blank. When I change to a get a node, it works. The returned object contains all the pertinent information.

Simple use of Services with JSON

Posted by ilovedrupal-gdo on June 18, 2009 at 7:05pm

I am trying a simple test with Drupal 6, Services, JSON Server but am running into the following error. To make things as simple as possible, I tried this with the curl command line program (although I have also tried it in python and php). I have services and json server installed and can go to services at mysite.com/admin/build/services/browse/service.name and successfully browse a view I made using views.get. I also did this with node.get However (all on the same machine) when I try:

curl --data method=views.get --data view_name="myview" http://mysite/services/json

node.save with JSON Server

Posted by timmillwood on May 29, 2009 at 7:39pm

I am using the services module along with JSON server to create an Adobe Air app.

function send_post(){
    obj = new Object;
  obj.type = "story";
  obj.title = $('#new_post').val();
    obj.changed = new Date().getTime();
    obj.body = "test";
   obj.uid = uid;
 obj.nid = "0"
    
   console.log(obj);
  $.getJSON(service + "?jsoncallback=?", {method: "node.save", sessid: sessid, node: obj}, function(data){
       console.log(data);
         listposts();    
       
   }); 
}

system.service - take down for maintenance, unload module, load module

Posted by cstachris on May 29, 2009 at 6:17am

Hi - I was wondering if there was a set/get maintenance mode through the services module. Also, the ability to disable and enable modules?

Moving Servers, old flash app now throwing badVersion error

Posted by cmcintosh on May 29, 2009 at 1:49am

ok, i have 6.10 on the new server, I am running Services 6.x-0.13, AMFPHP 6.x-1.x-dev. My flash apps cannot connect to the new host(now a goDaddy server). I am able to connect to the old host with no issues. I am getting the following error:
unhandled NetStatusEvent: NetConnection.Call.BadVersion. If you have any idea what may be causing this let me know.

I am hoping maybe its a permissions error i have set incorrectly somewhere.

Thanks,
Chris

views.get returns an empty array

Posted by bstoppel on May 28, 2009 at 9:05pm

My Setup
Drupal 6.10
Services 6.x-1.x-dev
AMFPHP 6.x-1.0-beta1
XMLRPC Server 6.x-1.x-dev
Views Service 6.x-1.x-dev
Views 6.x-2.5

The problem
I set up a view to pull a certain content type out with relevant info. It works great in Views. All of the information is visible when I preview it inside of views. When I try views.get within Services, the result is an empty array. There aren't any error messages. Just an empty array - Array().

What am I doing wrong?

Flex: Save binary bytearray data from actionscript 3 to drupal with amfphp

Posted by mrconnerton on May 20, 2009 at 4:58pm

I have been looking for a way to upload a file in flex and save the bytearray directly to drupal via amf. This was written on Drupal 5 however it can easily be added to Drupal 6. Just note there is already a file_services module in D6 and not d5. Here's what I have come up with that works great:

Saving Node with Tagged Taxonomy Values Vocabulary

Posted by jkasdorf on May 19, 2009 at 11:12pm

Hi,

Been looking around a lot of different locations for a possible solution to this. Looked at the solution on this page http://hybridhacking.com/node/27 and have not been able to get this working.

As of right now I am using a CCK Content type with two int fields and 2 taxonomy vocabularies, one named "Sector". Each of these vocabularies is a tagged type of term.

I'm using Flex to create this and when I save the node from Flex, it says that it's successful but there is no change to the terms being displayed.

Hi, is it possible to do a persistent login from a remote application with user.login combined with the persistent login module?

Views.get is not returning file path from a file field defined in a view.

Posted by tseven on May 13, 2009 at 12:17am

What I'm using:
Drupal 6.11

Plugin version combos I've tried:
Services 6.x-0.13
Views 6.x-2.5

and

Services 6.x-1.x-dev
Views 6.x-2.x-dev

I've created a node type named Emoticon with a File field type of Image.

Inside the emoticon view, I specified a field which returns the "Path to file" of the emoticon.

When previewing the view inside the View editor the path field is displayed properly.

When calling this view from the Views.get form inside Services I get:
[node_data_field_chat_emoticon_field_chat_emoticon_fid] => 79

Help on Channel disconnected error

Posted by firnnauriel on April 28, 2009 at 4:21am

I created a profile_service module and exposed a function named profile.save. This is the code:

array(
   '#method'           => 'profile.save',
  '#callback'         => 'profile_service_save',
  '#args'             => array(
     array(
         '#name'           => 'user',
            '#type'           => 'struct',
          '#description'    => t('The object that contains the profile data.'))),
 '#help'             => t('Saves a profile data.')),

Here is the callback function:

function profile_service_save($data) {
   print_r($temp);
}

Accessing functions of other modules

Posted by firnnauriel on April 28, 2009 at 1:34am

I am creating a sample module that will create a wrapper function of another module. For example, I have a profile_service module (that extends Service module) and would like to exposed an API named profile.get(). Within this function, it will call the user.get() of user_service. I have tried this in code:

function profile_service_get($uid) {
 print_r("Calling the function of another module..");
 include("../../services/services/user_service.inc");
 
   return user_service_get($uid);
}

I'm getting this error:

How to fix "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only." error?

Posted by nhchau on April 27, 2009 at 9:50am

I tried Services and it methods work, except XML-RPC. Testing XML-RPC with Drupal 6.10 (and 5.16) by click into http://mysite.com/services/xmlrpc I got the following message: "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
How to fix this?

PHP Script for XML-RPC calls from outside Drupal

Posted by thompcha on April 14, 2009 at 12:57am

Here is a set of PHP functions I put together for calling Drupal's core XML-RPC methods without using the Services API:

<?php function assemble_request($method, $args = array(), $dump_request = FALSE){ $request = xmlrpc_encode_request($method,$args); $context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array( 'method' => "POST", 'header' => "Content-Type: text/xml", 'content' => $request ))); if($dump_request){ echo '

pre>';
echo htmlentities($request);
