   Is there any way to indicate that a post was posted with the iphone app? The only way a post will get published is through the normal backend with a laptop or through the iphone app. If I can find a way to make a conditional tag such as

   if "published through XML-RPC" {echo 'Published via iPhone'} ;

   The posts published through the app are going to be fast and potentially typo-prone. If I had a way of excusing that it would be great.

   Anybody have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

   This is a bit of a workaround. As I understand it the app doesn't have custom fields. But you can set a custom field automatically when saving a post through XML-RPC.
   Put this in your theme's functions.php:
   

   function set_ios_meta($post_ID){
   if(wp_is_post_autosave($post_ID) || wp_is_post_revision($post_ID)) {
     return $post_ID;
   }
   update_post_meta($post_ID, 'ios', 'true');
   }
   add_action('xmlrpc_publish_post', 'set_ios_meta');

   To show the custom field in your theme's template files use this:
   

   <?php
   $meta_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'ios', true);
   if($meta_value != ''){
   echo 'Published via iPhone';
   }
   ?>
