Making an XML file
www.richardspro... - March 20, 2008 - 14:03
Hi,
I've got a flash app in a content block that loads content from an XML file. I'd like Drupal to produce this XML file.
The XML file gives the location of the client's offices and looks a bit like this.
<places>
<place name="London" theX="12" theY="12" url="/london" />
<place name="Leeds" theX="5" theY="34" url="/london" />
</places>So, is there a way to get Drupal to output XML and is there a way to make forms that a user can administer table like data?
Thanks for your help.
Found a way
This must have been an unusual one as nobody got back to me.
I found a way of doing this and I thought other people might find it useful.
I used the CCK module to create a content type that had different fields. I created a Place type that had 'theX', 'theY', etc as fields.
I then created a Place for all the different places I wanted in my XML file.
I then used the Views module to create a page that displayed a list of all my places. I was then able to alter the template to make it an XML file.

I get it
Oh I get it.
You should use Views RSS to display all the contents.
If you use CCK fields (for ex: imagefield), you should also install Contemplate module, then activate "affect RSS output"
Also activate the RSS enclosure.
