Add a new action, fired when a post is added via XMLRPC

[simonwheatley]

Currently when you want to manipulate a new post which has been added over XMLRPC after the attachments have been added, there is no action to neatly hook. (Attachments are assigned to their parent via $wpdb queries, and no further actions or hooks appear to be triggered after the attachments have been added.) This patch suggests a new hook which fires at the end of the mw_newPost method.

Not sure about the name "xmlrpc_post_new_post" (post new post is meant to refer to "after a new post").

If this patch is acceptable perhaps it's worth adding similar actions to mw_editPost, 'mw_newPage, and mw_editPage`, etc.

Adds a new action to XMLRPC after a new post has been added

Joseph?

This sounds reasonable.

We should probably add hooks at the end of all the relevant XML-RPC functions for posts/pages.

Naming scheme and format something like:

do_action('xmlrpc_call_sucess_blogger_newPost', $post_ID, $args);

I like the idea, so I'm submitting a patch that adds an action hook to:

• wp.deletePage
• blogger.newPost
• blogger.editPost
• blogger.deletePost
• mw.newPost
• mw.editPost

These are all the relevant post/page methods where this kind of hook makes sense. The wp methods for editing and creating posts just direct to mw_editPost() and mw_newPost() anyway, so they'll end up using the same hooks.

I'm using westi's proposed schema as well:

do_action( 'xmlrpc_call_success_{method name}', $post_ID, $args );

We might want to consider adding similar hooks for comments and media calls, but that would be another ticket ...

[ericmann]

Add success hooks to post/page calls.

Looks good.

In [20158]:

XMLRPC: Add some xmlrpc_call_success_* actions to some of the post creation/deletion calls. Fixes #14283 props ericmann, simonwheatley.
