In a theme I’m developing, I need to link to the source post when the post has been stored using XMLRPC. That implies that every time WordPress asks for a permalink (using get_permalink()) the theme will return a previously saved link. That’s accomplished by adding a new filter:
add_action('the_permalink', 'filterPermalink');
function filterPermalink($url) {
$permalink = get_previously_saved_permalink(get_the_ID());
return $permalink? $permalink : $url;
}
That’s not the problem (by the moment). The problem is, how to make the same with the metaWeblog.newPost function.
I’ve already tried something like this:
add_filter('xmlrpc_methods','xml_rpc_functions_to_add');
function xml_rpc_functions_to_add($args) {
$args['metaWeblog.newPost'] = 'add_permalink';
return $args;
}
function add_permalink($args) {
// Do it
}
What I need is to know how to call the previous ‘metaWeblog.newPost’ from ‘add_permalink’.
From look at source
metaWeblog.newPost
seems to be processed inwp_xmlrpc_server->mw_newPost()
method.At the end of this method there is following hook call:
which seems to be very fitting to process and save any additional information for post that have just been created by its ID provided.
