[campcaster-dev] help with XML-RPC API

    Hi,

    I was trying to use the CC XML-RPC API for searching through the audio library but couldn't find a
    way to specify certain constraints.

    For example, this works:
    $criteria = array('filetype'=>'audioclip',
    'operator'=>'and',
    'limit'=>'10',
    'offset'=>'10',
    'conditions'=>array());
    $res = $xrc->xr_searchMetadata($g_sessionId, $criteria);

    But if I replace the line:
    'conditions'=>array());
    with:
    'conditions'=>array('dc:title', '=', 'Blues'));
    it displays an error (see attached file).

    Please give me a link to documentation on how to compose the criteria or explain it to me here (it
    would be best to be documented on the site).

    Thanks,
    Mugur

    Hi Mugur,
    the problem is here:
    > 'conditions'=>array('dc:title', '=', 'Blues')
    the expected structure is:
    'conditions'=>array('cat'=>'dc:title', 'op'=>'=', 'val'=>'Blues')

    It's little bit more complicated, but it's inherited from XMLRPC search
    query structure where is IMO better to have named fields.

    The structure is described in this source file:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/browser/trunk/campcaster/src/modules/storageServer/var/DataEngine.php#L9
    but now it seems to be wrongly processed by doxygen (probably prepared
    for PHPdocumentor) - class description with search query structure is
    not included in html output, it's probably in the source comments only.

    Actually the condition is an array of arrays, and it makes sense Smile
    'conditions'=>array(array('cat'=>'dc:type', 'op'=>'=', 'val'=>'Blues'),
    array('cat'=>'...', ...))

    Thank you for your help!

    The XML-RPC documentation is here:
    http://campcaster-doc.campware.org/doxygen/html/classXR__LocStor.html#3fcf7cfb82c7534349882bcad7bc4c13
