XML-RPC
Crossposting
Crossposting is made for posting of the same articles in different blogs with link on the source.
What is XML-RPC
XML-RPC - Extensible Markup Language Remote Procedure Call. XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol which uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. "XML-RPC" also refers generically to the use of XML for remote procedure call, independently of the specific protocol.
Synchronization
Synchronization - is very complicated, but in some cases, an indispensable tool. Please read this article very carefully to all those who will use it to avoid unwanted situations.

Features of posting in different engines
In most cases, posting in different engines via XML-RPC doesn’t differs from each other. But still there are different opportunities, so to avoid surprises, before synchronization and postings, recommend you to read about the engines you are interested in.
XML-RPC export
XML-RPC posting - a technology that allows you to upload articles on the website fully automaticaly (including pictures). At the moment the program supports such engines for posting on the XML-RPC:
- WordPress - Supports custom fields, automatic picture uploading (including the add. Fields), the automatic creation of categories (including the level of nesting);
- WordPress.com - Supports automatic picture uploading;
- Blogger.com (technology GDATA) - Supports automatic picture uploading on the specified in the settings hosting of pictures;
- Drupal - Supports automatic picture uploading;
- Joomla - Supports automatic picture uploading;
- MaxSite (maxsite technology remote) - Supports automatic picture uploading on the specified in the settings hosting of pictures;
- LiveJournal - Supports automatic picture uploading;
DataLife Engine (DLE) - via XML-RPC
The first full posting module in DLE via XML-RPC, only for users of the program Zebroid.
Import through the protocol XML-RPC
Import through this protocol is rather simple. All user needs to do is to give the address of the site and enter login and password. The program will do the rest. It should be also noted that when importing, the identificators of the sites and their links are being saved. It means that when using the synchronization, the articles will be edited but not recognized as new.
If the import is being conducted not into an empty project, the program will compare the already existing names of categories and articles with those on the blog. It won’t create the tallies (doubles). It will assign the identificator to the already existing ones and will create the new ones.
Proxy in the program
Some tools (translator, xml-rpc, rss grabber etc.) offer a possibility to use proxy lists. This list is taken from the file "ZebroidFolder\userdata\proxylist.txt".
