Wordpress XMLRPC Tip Required

I was tasked with creating an API to extract and add content to Wordpress from a flash application and legacy CMS (non-PHP). My plan is to use the existing xmlrpc default endpoint and add any additional functionality by creating a plugin that intercepts xmlrpc_methods.

A previous attempt was made by another developer based on the following code:

This code looks bulky and poorly documented for me, and I prefer to use this approach:

I would be grateful if someone who has experience in this field can confirm that:

  • I will be able to distinguish individual blogs in the MU installation when both receiving and sending data via XMLRPC
  • I can receive and send to custom fields
  • writing a plugin is the way to go.

We are unable to use Wordpress 3 because it is still in beta and we are under the pressure of time.

I would really appreciate any material / advice.

Many thanks,

I have worked with the WordPress XMLRPC system before (using the WP-Hive installation with several separate blogs, similar to setting up WPMU). The new approach that you use is definitely simpler and easier to implement (I also tried the 5-pin for the first time).
