Hello everybody,

I try to find a solution to offer to ezpublish content manager a way to upload a xml file in the admin access. Moreover, this xml file, must be get in a jquery code, to read his content. How can i made this, without link to a cached file in storage directory.

I appreciate some help.

I precised that, I'm newbie, in ez development.

Thank.

Edwige.

Hi Edwidge,

just alter an existing content-class (or create a new one) and add a file attribute to it (name it for example xml_file).

Create a contentobject from this class and upload the xml-file to the xml_file attribute.

Than you can acess the full path to the xml-file in a template by first fetching the content object and than accessing the xml_file attribute via the objects data_map.

(In this example the content_object is assigned to node_id 100, the name of the file attribute is xml_file)

{def $myFileObject = fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 100))}

{def $myFileURL = $myFileObject.data_map.xml_file.content.filepath|ezroot}

{* Now use it in your javascript *}
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlfile = '{$myFileURL}';
{literal}
$(document).ready(function()
{
     $.ajax({
       type: "GET",
       url: xmlfile,
           dataType: "xml",
           success: doSomethingWithXML
    });
});
doSomethingWithXML = function( data )
{
    // your code to deal with the xml
}
{/literal}

Hope you got the idea.


Best regards,

Patrick

Thanks for your help.

It works fine. I just change

var xmlfile = '<span>{</span><span>$myFileURL</span><span>}</span>';
to 
var xmlfile = <span>{</span><span>$myFileURL</span><span>}</span>;
