editevent — Edit or delete a user's past journal entry
Modify an already created event. If fields are empty, it will delete the event.
[struct](required)
Containing keys:
username(required):
[scalar](required) Username of user logging in.
auth_method(optional):
[scalar](required) Authentication method used for this request. The default value is "clear", for plain-text authentication. "cookie" and any of the challenge / response methods are also acceptable.
password(optional):
[scalar](required) DEPRECATED. Password of user logging in in plaintext. If using the "clear" authentication method, either this or "hpassword" must be present.
hpassword(optional):
[scalar](required) DEPRECATED. MD5 digest of user's password. Not much more secure than password, but at least it's not in plain text.
auth_challenge(optional):
[scalar](required) If using challenge / response authentication, this should be the challenge that was issued to you by the server.
auth_response(optional):
[scalar](required) If using challenge / response authentication, this should be the response hash that you generate, based on the formula required for your challenge.
ver(optional):
[scalar](required) Protocol version supported by the client; assumed to be 0 if not specified. See Chapter 11: Protocol Versions for details on the protocol version
itemid(required):
[scalar](required) The unique ItemID of the item being modified or deleted.
event(required):
[scalar](required) The revised event/log text the user is submitting. Or, to delete an entry, just send no text at all. Carriage returns are okay (0x0A, 0x0A0D, or 0x0D0A), although 0x0D are removed internally to make everything into Unix-style line-endings (just \ns). Posts may also contain HTML, but be aware that the LiveJournal server converts newlines to HTML <BR>s when displaying them, so your client should not try to insert these itself.
lineendings(required):
[scalar](required) Specifies the type of line-endings you're using. Possible values are unix (0x0A (\n)), pc (0x0D0A (\r\n)), or mac ( 0x0D (\r) ). The default is not-Mac. Internally, LiveJournal stores all text as Unix-form atted text, and it does the conversion by removing all \r characters. If you're sending a multi-line event on Mac, you have to be sure and send a lineendings value of mac or you r line endings will be removed. PC and Unix clients can ignore this setting, or you can s end it. It may be used for something more in the future.
subject(required):
[scalar](required) The subject for this post. Limited to 255 characters. No newlines.
security(optional):
[scalar](required) Specifies who can read this post. Valid values are public (default), private and usemask. When value is usemask, viewability is controlled by the allowmask.
allowmask(optional):
[scalar](required) Relevant when security is usemask. A 32-bit unsigned integer representing which of the user's groups of friends are allowed to view this post. Turn bit 0 on to allow any defined friend to read it. Otherwise, turn bit 1-30 on for every friend group that should be allowed to read it. Bit 31 is reserved.
props(optional): Set arbitrary (but restricted) meta-data properties to this log item. See Chapter 12: Journal Item Meta-data for the documentation of the keys and value data types.
[array](required)The following 'struct' should have property names as the keys, and the values should be a scalar data type. Containing items:
[struct](optional; multiple allowed)
Containing keys:
usejournal(optional):
[scalar](required) If editing a shared journal entry, include this key and the username you wish to edit the entry in. By default, you edit the entry as if it were in user "user"'s journal, as specified above.
year(required):
[scalar](required) If modifying only, the 4-digit year of the event (from the user's local timezone).
mon(required):
[scalar](required) If modifying only, the 1- or 2-digit month of the event (from the user's local timezone).
day(required):
[scalar](required) If modifying only, the 1- or 2-digit day of the month of the event (from the user's local timezone).
hour(required):
[scalar](required) If modifying only, the 1- or 2-digit hour from 0 to 23 of the event (from the user's local timezone).
min(required):
[scalar](required) If modifying only, the 1- or 2-digit minute of the event (from the user's local timezone).
