[wp-hackers] XML-RPC add Category filter

[Marko Heijnen]

Hey Gabriel,

There are a few tickets on http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&status=reviewing&component=XML-RPC&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&order=priority about better filter option for wp.getPosts.
In this case http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22540 in particular.

I guess what you should have done is overwriting the method to have this or even better create a custom one from scratch that only returns the information you need.

Marko
