Ahh. Thats what it is.

Hmm… I have no idea how to change that through AppleScript.

Thank you for your assistance, Joseph.

I’ll hit the AppleScript forum and see if there is a solution there.

I have mode some progress on this issue. By Joseph providing the arguments list, it prompted me to reconsider the way I was passing the file_data parameters. I changed the code to form a structure in AppleScript.

on run {input, parameters}
	set myUsername to "myusername"
	set myPassword to "mypassword"
	set parameterStruct to {|name|:"imagename.jpg", type:"image/jpeg", bits:input, overwrite:true}

	tell application "https://twih.kamboville.com/xmlrpc.php"
		set returnValue to call xmlrpc {method name:"wp.uploadFile", parameters:{1, myUsername, myPassword, parameterStruct}}
	end tell
	return returnValue
end run

The code runs successfully, something is uploaded. Unfortunately, the file name uploaded is prepended with “wpid-“. So the file name is now “wpid-imagename.jpg” and there is a question mark in place of the actual image.

The returnValue is

{|file|:"wpid-imagename.jpg", |url|:"https://mywordpresssite.com/wp-content/uploads/wpid-imagename.jpg", type:"image/jpeg"}

Which is very strange considering the filename I’m passing is “imagename.jpg”.

I used a packet sniffer to capture the XML file being sent to the server. Not sure if this is what it should be.

Hi Joseph,

Yes, I am able to upload normally via wp-admin

I’m not sure if I’m forming the parameters correctly. Is there something I need to specifically pass along that denotes a file_data struct? Do I have the fileType correct or should I be passing “image/jpeg” instead of “JPEG” ? I have tried both in anyway and I receive the same error message.
