Recently I worked on a site which is using wordpress as it’s cms and creloaded as it’s web shop. So the wordpress was top of the shopping cart and then the shopping cart as webshop. So basically I had to develop the site using wordpress and then had to install that creloaded inside woordpress installation.
For main site wordpress has it’s header (with navigation), footer (with navigation and other contents), sidebar with widgets etc. So when I am visiting the web shop with creloaded I was required to show the same layouts and design. For that I had to use wp xmlrpc to fetch those common features into creloaded system.
XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5. So anyone can use it who is using wp 3.5 or greater without activating xml-rpc via wordpress admin!
All of this can be done with below written 3 steps.
1. Writing XML Client Class
2. Using XML Client
3. Defining XML Server methods in wp functions.php
Note: Here all the things are not well documented, Because I am assuming you are enough expert on wp and did some google and finally here to see a code example of wp xml rpc implementations.
XML Client
//http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/xml-rpc-in-wordpress/
class XMLRPClientWordPress
{
var $XMLRPCURL = "";
var $UserName = "";
var $PassWord = "";
var $cacheLocation = "";
var $enableCache = false;
// Constructor
public function __construct($xmlrpcurl, $username, $password, $enableCache, $cacheLocation)
{
$this->XMLRPCURL = $xmlrpcurl;
$this->UserName = $username;
$this->PassWord = $password;
$this->enableCache = $enableCache;
$this->cacheLocation = $cacheLocation;
}
public function send_request($requestname, $params)
{
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request($requestname, $params);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->XMLRPCURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
$results = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $results;
}
public function getOptions($id){
$cacheFile = "Options.html";
if($this->checkCacheAvailable($cacheFile)){
$output = $this->readCache($cacheFile);
} else {
$content = array( $id );
$params = array(0,$this->UserName,$this->PassWord,$content,true);
$output = $this->send_request('wp.getOptions',$params);
$this->writeCache($cacheFile, $output);
}
return $output;

return $output;
}

if($this->checkCacheAvailable($cacheFile)){
$output = $this->readCache($cacheFile);
} else {
$output = $this->send_request('nsp.getHeaderMenu', $params);
$this->writeCache($cacheFile, $output);
}
return $output;
}

$params = array();

if($this->checkCacheAvailable($cacheFile)){
$output = $this->readCache($cacheFile);
} else {

$this->writeCache($cacheFile, $output);
}
return $output;
}
public function getFooterHtml(){
$params = array();
$cacheFile = "FooterHtml.html";
if($this->checkCacheAvailable($cacheFile)){
$output = $this->readCache($cacheFile);

}
public function writeCache($name, $content){
if($this->enableCache){
$cachefile = $this->cacheLocation . $name;
$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);
}
}

public function getValueByTagName( $data, $s_tag, $e_tag) {
$s = strpos( $data,$s_tag) + strlen( $s_tag);
$e = strlen( $data);
$data= substr($data, $s, $e);
$s = 0;

Including and using XML Client
if ( file_exists(TEMPLATE_FS_CUSTOM_INCLUDES . 'XMLRPClientWordPress.php') ) {
$enableCache = false;
$cacheLocation = DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'tmp/cache/';
include(TEMPLATE_FS_CUSTOM_INCLUDES . 'XMLRPClientWordPress.php');
$objXMLRPClientWordPress = new XMLRPClientWordPress('http://wpdomain.com/xmlrpc.php','wp_admin_username','wp_admin_password', $enableCache, $cacheLocation);
$theme_option_name = 'nsp';
$options = $objXMLRPClientWordPress->getOptions($theme_option_name);
$wp_options_key_array = array('header_phone_numnber', 'facebook_link', 'twitter_link', 'google_plus_link', 'rss_link', 'copy_right_text', 'footer_text', 'siteurl');
$wp_options = array();
foreach($wp_options_key_array as $key=>$value){
$wp_options[$value] = $objXMLRPClientWordPress->getValueByTagName($options, $value.'', '');
}
}
