I was building a database in WordPress but their table interface lacks completely and I dont want to spend 200 hours developing a backend for a once-off project. <\/p>\n
I always used MsAccess for RAD blueprinting and I reckon you can build a better more flexible interface in 20 hours. With XHR MsAccess has some better internet capabilities these days, a nice simple XMLHttp library. <\/p>\n
You can use it for any http rest api in the cloud. <\/p>\n
Ajax for Access :) here’s the most basic wordpress xml-rpc call, sayHello.<\/p>\n
\r\nSub PutXML()\r\n\r\ntxtURL = \"http:\/\/www.blog.com\/xmlrpc.php\"\r\ntxtUserName = \"user\"\r\ntxtPassword = \"pwd\"\r\n \r\n Dim objSvrHTTP As ServerXMLHTTP\r\n Dim strT As String\r\n Set objSvrHTTP = New ServerXMLHTTP\r\n \r\n objSvrHTTP.Open \"POST\", txtURL, False, CStr(txtUserName), _\r\n CStr(txtPassword)\r\n \r\n objSvrHTTP.setRequestHeader \"Accept\", \"application\/xml\"\r\n objSvrHTTP.setRequestHeader \"Content-Type\", \"application\/xml\"\r\n \r\n strT = \"\"\r\n strT = strT & \"\"\r\n strT = strT & \"demo.sayHello<\/methodname>\"\r\n strT = strT & \"<\/methodcall>\"\r\n \r\n objSvrHTTP.send strT\r\n \r\n MsgBox objSvrHTTP.responseText\r\n\r\nEnd Sub\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\nFor pre-Vista you need the MSXML 6.0 library from microsoft, in Vista I already had it installed so you can add a reference to the library and off you go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
