Delicious Glue client updating [solved]

[matgb]

OK, I'm working on an update and port of the Delicious Glue script originally done for LJ. It works as a Client, ergo I'm asking here.

I've got most of what I want to acheive working, including, finally, Icons (the keyword is case sensitive, obvious when you think about it). However, I haven't managed to get post security working--this isn't an issue for me, and therefore lower priority, but I'd imagine some would like it, and would like to include it. I've read through the Wiki entries on both XML-RPC Protocol and XML-RPC Protocol Method: postevent, and worked through what I think the code should be, but it isn't working. My current code is here:
http://notzen.com/mat/delicious-glue.txt (and there's awrite up with the full script to DL here)

I've commented out the security stuff to get the rest working, but this is my first time, ever, messing around with client protocols, and I've had a few requests for copies of the script. What am I doing wrong? Thanks to andreducker linking to the original post, I have discovered my problem. Missing semi colons.

You may want to also share the xmlrpc.inc file.

Oh - and to get it running people will need to change the extension from .txt to .php. Which most people probably already know, but it can't hurt to reiterate :->

[matgb]

Yup. Intention is that that's a TXT file so people can see the code I've tried and tell me what I've done wrong, I've linked to my entry with the rest of it available for DL as I don't think that's necessary here.

It was either a link to the text file, a textarea here, or figuring out which bits of code needed exerpting into a CODE quote. The text file was easiest.

D'oh - didn't notice your post, I must have hit refresh in the moments between the two posts going up! I take it all back :->

[matgb]

Meh, took me a few minutes longer to get second post up anyway. I do want to do a complete how-to on it at some point, but odds are it'll take awhile, better to just launch then do instructions if people need it. The real stumbler was getting icons to work, now that seems to be I'm happy.

Oh, and this is the original announcement post over on LJ:
http://community.livejournal.com/lj_clients/207396.html

And it has some discussion of setting security, so you could try that out...

[matgb]

Aha, excellent. I looked in LJ_Dev.

And yes, solves it completely, have just completed some test posts, just need to comment it properly now.

You know what the problem was? Missing semicolons. FFS

[andrewducker]

Aaah, the missing semi-colon. Bane of my university career.

I assume you're testing using the FF addon for delicious glue recovery (or whatever it was called).

[andrewducker]

Oh - and don't forget to add the attribution for the original creator!

[matgb]

Done already, and credited the guy who did the access only bits as well. Can't comment to let them know, it's members only commenting and restricted membership :-(

There is another option, actually, which most PHP configurations support out-of-the-box: Rename your file to use a .phps extension instead of a .txt extension. Then you get a pretty colour-coded output that's otherwise exactly mostly the same as the .txt version. :) (It looks like it changes the indents, though.)

[andrewducker]

That's pretty awesome.

[matgb]

Oooh.

I had no idea you could do that, at all. That's really really useful. Thank you.
