Services

Im just at the begining of trying to understand services and rest, I have a simple php script that I can use to create resources from my remote site, this works fine as does updating resources when I have the NID to add into the script.

What I cant seem to get my head around is how I link create and updates from a remote site when the remote doesnt have or store the NID, I assumed that perhaps using CCk to store a Unique ID from the remote may be the answer but Im unsure how I would go about retrieving a NID from a REST call with a Unique CCK field.

Hello everybody.

I'm trying to use service 3 in drupal6. But I have some problems with it and there isn't any complete tutorial about how to create a service and to test it.

I have installed the module without any problem, I added a new service, and I added some resources to it, but I can't access to that service using the browser, all I get is "not found" error.
I tried to access using:
http://hostname/drupal6/services/endpoint/
But the directory services doesn't exist. Did I need to create it?

Is there a way that I can force a node to be unpublished by using the
node resource?

Requirement: Site A defines a content type 'item' which is published
by default. Site B needs to create 'item' nodes on A, and these
auto-created nodes should be unpublished.

One place that the Web Services and Context Core Initiative (WSCCI) and Configuration Management Initiative (CMI) overlap is the need to have a standard, canonical format to represent nodes and other entities in non-PHP and non-SQL format. There are a number of places where that is useful:

1. Including entities in exported configuration, or in configuration files.
2. Taking a content snapshot in some form other than an SQL dump file (which, you know, kinda sucks for mose uses).
3. Transferring a node from one site to another for content sharing purposes.
4. Aggregating content from many sites together for improved searching and cataloging.
5. Exposing Drupal content to other non-Drupal systems. This is made easier by using non-Drupal-specific formats.

These are all problem spaces that exist in Drupal 7 now, and did back in Drupal 6, too. Various one-off solutions exist. For Drupal 8 we should have a better universal answer to this question, and be able to build common tools to support it. Those can, and should, also influence our API design to help improve external integration.

Here are two example modules I wrote demonstrating how to implement a Services 3.0 based REST API: http://www.blakesenftner.com/Services-3-examples

They are bare bones, but demonstrate the correct handling for each of the CRUD operations, plus Relationships and Actions.

After using Services for a month and a half, I’ve been amazed at the incredible foundation and modularity set forth, only now to find it lacking a little bit in follow-through. I wish to bring together the movers and shakers of the services module community (and simple services module users) who demand more consistency from the services they provide and support, to help do something about it.

Hi all,
I using Services3.x, D6.

Can any one guide me when i creating a new services through 'http://mysite/admin/build/services/add' after submitting i got the following error.

Error: # User warning: Table 'mysite.services_endpoint' doesn't exist query: INSERT INTO services_endpoint (name, server, path, authentication, resources, debug) VALUES ('asdsad', 'rest_server', 'asdsad', 'a:0:{}', 'a:0:{}', 1) in _db_query() (line 149 of /var/www/html/mysite/includes/database.mysql.inc).

Is it possible to pass a key => value paired array into the xmlrpc request? As I am trying to make a request function that is usable by method requests with differing variable numbers and types

$xmlrpc_result = xmlrpc($server, $method, $hash, $domain, $timestamp, $nonce, $sid, $args, array());

Where $args contains
array(
'variable1' => '1',
'variable2' => '2' etc,
)

Obviously implode doesn't work to separate the variables in a comma separated list, because the entire list is just string...I can seperate the list into the variable name being the index name like

I find that the service 3.0 is not Compatible with pathauto module
