Loading an XML File?

[dniezby]

How would one go about loading an XML file?

I'd like to load my XML file from eBlogger into...say a content pane?

Here is the xml file

I haven't tried it at all (yet), but after a little research this looks, on the surface, easier to implement than many solutions out there:

Any thoughts on how to load the XML file into a contentpane? Come on Chris..I know you have the answer

Lots of examples. Question is...what is the data. Pics?

If it's to load that EBlogger backend...you're on your own. That's why I never replied. Besides...your E-Blogger backend is ATOM not RSS 2.

Dude, don't you sleep?

I see what you're saying about the above link...What about if I used the RSS fee d from myspace?

I get the late shift with the baby.

If that myspace is an RSS 1 through 2 you can use the backend from my blogger download to strip it as variables with zero coding (well...maybe one edited line of php). Let me find that one too. Just getting things back in order.

Do you mean KBlog? I have that download. How do I modify it to implement it into my site?

[Chris_Seahorn]

In the "blogdata" subfolder, there is a file named "getfeed.php". Alter this line:

$feedurl= $_POST["feedurl"];

to be a hard coded address (your myspace addy)

$feedurl= "http://www.pathtosomerssfeed.com/backend.php";


Make sure "xmlclass.php" is in that same folder (getfeed.php includes it) and then direct hit it in your browser and if it will parse...you will get a return as a string with a variable name of "txtMain":


&txtMain="thebrokendownfeed";

If you put a dynamic textfield with a variable name of "txtMain" inside your movie and hit that backside you should get a nicely laid out feed.

Cool. I'll try this out...Thanks.

Is there a way to assign a variable to a contentpane?

Chris, what do you mean by "hit that backside you should get a nicely laid out feed." ?

Is there a way to put this into a contentpane?

That "getfeed.php" I mentioned is being told to load:

http://sandbox.blogdns.com/backend_black.php

Then the text variable "txtMain" created in "getfeed.php" is sent back in to our movie. I purposely tied that return to the loadVars return to show you how that works just like your form....we don't send the data to the contenpane until the loadVars signals success.

It's in my downloads.
