Hi Thanks for that but it didnt work.

Here is the XML document that came with the script this will show up on all pages so all i need to be able to do is write to the xml file so that the images are being imbeded into the xml document.

I hope someone can help as this is my last hurdle before turning the site live.

I have setup a multi section so the client can upload images set to the right side so all i need to do is write the image url to the xml file and the rest will be hard coded by myself.
Thanks

Hey there.

Can you upload the rss.xml.php file you created that didn't work?

Basically - you have to start the file with:
<?php header('Content-type: application/xml; charset=utf-8'); ?><?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>

Then, the file specific code... ie.
<settings>
&#8722;
<auto_play>
<defaults symbol="circular" time="6"/>
<defaults/>
<tweenIn x="500" y="90" width="45" height="45" tint="0x000000"/>
<tweenOut/>
<tweenOver/>
</auto_play>
&#8722;
<prev_symbol>
<tweenOut x="20" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
<tweenIn x="20" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
<defaults x="20" y="230" type="3" tint="0x000000" time="8"/>
<tweenOver x="20" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
</prev_symbol>
&#8722;
<next_symbol>
<tweenOut x="40" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
<tweenIn x="40" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
<defaults x="40" y="230" type="3" tint="0x000000" time="8"/>
<tweenOver x="40" y="230" tint="0x000000"/>
</next_symbol>
</settings>
&#8722;
<slides>

Then your repeating listing... ie <?php foreach ($newsRecords as $record): ?> ....

Then close ie. </slides>
</cu3er>

Hope that helps.
Cheers,

I think the issue is i cant call the xml file any other name than config.xml because the flash app is set to read that file name only.

I dont have the source of the flash so i can edit it.
Thanks

From my understanding, you can name it anything you like - it's the formating of the file that is important. I have a bunch of projects with flash reading XML, however I try to steer clear these days and use jQuery etc as I find it is more user friendly from the coding to the viewing of the finished product.

Maybe show us what you are trying to achieve and we can help - or send me a PM if you want to discuss outside of this forum.

Hi

After working with Tim today "thanks for your time" we still havnt been able to get this working.

I have attached the xml doucment and also the index page.

Could someone please help me out.

One major issue is that the xml fle must stay as config.xml for it to work.
Thanks

Hi kcmedia,

It looks like you have a stray <?php endif ?> in config.xml.php, you'll want to remove that if you are getting an error.

Next, you'll need to either specify a path to the .xml.php file, or redirect requests for .xml to .xml.php

Here's docs on specifying a path to an .xml file: http://www.progressivered.com/cu3er/docs/embedding.html

And here's some code you can put in an .htaccess file to transparently redirect config.xml to config.xml.php:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule config.xml$ /config.xml.php [L]


There may be other issues remaining to resolve, but that's how you can handle those existing ones.

Hope that helps!
