Question

With the editArticle command there are several parameters. I understand sBody, sHeadline, ixPersonEditedBy and of course ixWikiPage.

I am guessing that dt is the editing date, which is weird since i think the server should set that.

I understand sTags is a comma-separated list of tags. Is it case-sensitive?

Is sComment the edit comment? And what is the cols parameter used for?

Perhaps it would be easier to understand if there was a sample Payload for that on the API page.

Oh and are all parameters required?

Answer 1

To answer your questions:

1. If you logged on through the XML API as administrator, the dt and ixPersonEditedBy fields permit you to set a different date and editor. This allows you to retain history when importing from other wikis.

2. FogBugz tags appear to be case-insensitive.

3. Yes, sComment is the edit comment.

4. Cols is in fact an API documentation error. The documentation has been updated.

5. Only the ixWikiPage parameter is required.
