Hello,
Is there a possibility to grab the XML structure and contents of a specific node from an ez db to feed an external appi?Something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <folder> <title>which code for the title ?</title> <intro>which code for the intro ?</intro> <body>which code for the body ?</body> </folder>
All this is store in one variable ?
Regards.
Laurent.

You mean probably something similar. In those functions is basicly the code you need. Unfortunatelly it is all dependant on a eZPackage. So to speed up the process, I would recommend writing your own stuff.

Hi Björn,
I never used the packages before. I test this functionnality in admin and manage to produce a .ezpkg.
I understand that you can use this file to import it in another ez site but my pupose is to use it a flash appi feed with external XML files.
Do you still thinking it's possible that way ?

That's what those functions do.
They bring persistent object data ( attributes, contentobjects , nodes ) to XML. That's want you need.
As I said before the technique is all inside those functions. So you need to write your one ones.
A *.ezpkg is tared information stored as XML.

Thanks Björn,
I'm going to try something that way.
Script start
Module start 'content'
Module end 'content'
