Poster - desktop software for Drupal CMS

Challenge

The idea was for the communication between our desktop application "Poster" and the Drupal CMS via the backend’s XML-RPC protocol. However, this protocol was not fully described and we had to analys of the functions and methods required for the individual development steps.

Desktop application should contain next options:

• Publishing various content in the websites powered by CMS Drupal 6 & Drupal 7 (via protocol xml-rpc);
• Multi-project interface. Content publication simultaneously on multiple sites;
• Multithreading architecture. Content publication using the multi-threading option;
• Content types support. User can use any default or custom Content type from his website;
• Taxonomy Management. The ability to create categories directly from the program, as well as select already existing dictionary from your website;
• Fields support. Ability Upload to nodes the images, videos, any other file types;
• Datetime Settings and Time Zone. You can set any custom datetime and timezones for your publications;
• Delayed publication of materials. Let your site publish content himself every time when Drupal run cron.

Working with the engine going through the protocol XML-RPC, activation of which you will need to install the Drupal services module.
