Objects with XML file extension

paul bolger	Sunday 04 May 2008 5:07:02 am I need to output instances of an object with an .xml file extension so that JW Player can use them as a playlist. The now deprecated PDF module used to output objects with a .pdf extension. How would one go about making a new module to output with an xml extension? Or is there a simpler way? regards Paul Bolger Paul Bolger
Maxime Thomas	Sunday 04 May 2008 11:34:07 pm Hi Paul, You can do your own extension with a module and a function. To produce XML, you have two ways to do this : - you can use a template, so you must use the layout set function. - you can produce xml directly in your module, using SimpleXML or whatever. Here's the documentation : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/modules/layout And an excellent article on how design extensions for eZpublish. http://ez.no/developer/articles/an_introduction_to_developing_ez_publish_extensions Cheers !

Hi Paul,

You can do your own extension with a module and a function.
To produce XML, you have two ways to do this :
- you can use a template, so you must use the layout set function.
- you can produce xml directly in your module, using SimpleXML or whatever.

Here's the documentation :

And an excellent article on how design extensions for eZpublish.
