This sort of works: I had a problem where Bilbo insisted on calling metaWeblog.getCategories while this function is not advertised (and ofcourse my server responded with a function-not-found error). After implementing this function, Bilbo now neatly displays all categories to which I can post. And as long as I do not select a category, posting works like a charm. However, when I select a category, a struct is sent to the server with the category name. The server responds with this: "Invalid request payload xmlrpc element STRING cannot be child of DATA" This seems to be a parser error returned by the XML-RPC library used by Joomla (and I assume PHP). For example, the following is send to the server and fails: <code> <member> <name>categories</name> <value> <array> <data> <string><![CDATA[General blog entries [Blog]]]></string> </data> </array> </value> </member></code> According to the API docs (for example <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905673.aspx)" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905673.aspx)</a> the <string> element should be a <value> element. This solves the problem when posting to Joomla! 1.5 <code> <member> <name>categories</name> <value> <array> <data> <value><![CDATA[General blog entries [Blog]]]></value> </data> </array> </value> </member></code> Is this something that could be fixed in the next release?
