Hi @system65 , could you please till me what input type should I use to upload photo to wordpress ?
you can use ‘text, hidden, file’ types to pass the image path to cordova file transfer to send the image file to the backend.
@system65 I am trying to do the same thing via wp-json/wp/v2/media but without any luck , can you please guide me , what can I do
createReport(score: string, report: string, category: number[] = [], img) {
this.events.publish('wordpress:savestatus', { state: 'saving' });
let data = {
title: score,
excerpt: report,
content: report,
categories: category,
status: 'pending'
};
this.http.post('/server/wp-json/wp/v2/posts', data).subscribe(data => {
this.events.publish('wordpress:savestatus', { state: 'finished' });
this.events.publish('wordpress:createdreport');
let options: FileUploadOptions = {
fileKey: 'file',
fileName: 'name.jpg',
mimeType: 'image/jpeg'
}
var targetPath = img;
const fileTransfer: FileTransferObject = this.transfer.create();
fileTransfer.upload(targetPath, '/server/wp-json/wp/v2/media', options)
.then((data) => {
console.log(data)
}, (err) => {
console.log(err)
})
}, error => {
this.events.publish('wordpress:savestatus', { state: 'error', message: error });
});
}
make sure of all required params here rest-api create-media
