API for sharing albums?

[EddyLB]

Hi Arnaud,
Would it be possible to provide an API method allowing to share an album?
For example, the iOS app could detect the availability of your extension on a Piwigo server using reflection.getMethodList and then allow users to exploit your plugin remotely.

With this API method, third party apps could also "hide" the virtual albums created by the plugin as the Piwigo server does it.

Hi Eddy,
Sorry for this long time reply. For sure it would be possible, but I have to enquire on the 'how', and did not take time up to now. Any idea of any other plugin/contributor who implemented it for the development of the IOS app (or other usage ?) so that I could have a look ?
Cheers
Arnaud

Hi Arnaud,
Thank for your reply. I have never coded a plugin for Piwigo but I guess that you should be able to add an API as the Cummunity plugin by @plegall does it here starting line 287 (_ws_ related calls I guess).

The iOS app calls the Piwigo method reflection.getMethodList to check whether the Community method community.session.getStatus exists. If it does, it then calls it to retrieve the data necessary to manage a server set with the Community plugin.

Hi Arnaud,
I continue to receive requests from iOS app users…
Could you please raise the priority of this issue?

Hi Eddy,
I'll check, sure it would be a nice feature in the iOS app.
Cheers

@EddyLB is there any other known plugin which exposes its methods through ws calls ?

[EddyLB]

Yes @petitssuisses, Community does it (https://github.com/plegall/Piwigo-community).

Any progress?
