Converting a wordpress web service call into the equivalent action for
your own CMS sounds a lot simpler to me than writing an ipad app for
submitting to your CMS.

Your client should be re-educated to not change requirements during
implementation just because of shiny things.

I would have thought it would be easier to mimic wordpress's web
service API, and re-use the same app, than to write a new app.

Alternatively, send your customer for re-education.

adding objects via admin section from ipad/iphone

[i...@webbricks.co.uk]

i wonder if anyone has any suggestions around this issue.

I'm using zinnia blog engine in a couple of sites. customer has had
his head turned by an SEO genius (!) who reckons wordpress is far
better for google search results than zinnia. customer starts thinking
about moving back to wordpress. im not too chuffed about this.
customer starts playing with wordpress and realises he can use his
ipad/iphone (via bespoke apps) to create blog posts. tries on his
zinnia blog, no can do. this is because the choose file buttons in the
forms are greyed out, since you cant just access the ipads filesystem.

the wordpress apps are native on the device so know how to get into
the photo library to upload images.

so if i wanted to be able to create a blog post on the ipad, im
looking at having to create a custom app and getting it through the
app store.

unless there is some framework like phone gap that allows access?

has anyone come ancross and solved this issue before?
