Re: smd_xml : extract data from XML feeds
Did so, thank you again.

Re: smd_xml : extract data from XML feeds
how do you mix two or more feeds? do they have to be premixed using yahoo pipes?
is importing the feeds into the database and letting textpattern mix them the next option?
also i put this code from the example into a page template, and it brought the page down and wouldn’t render anything. i did install smd_query
<txp:smd_xml data="http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/myUserName"
record="item" fields="title|utitle, link, pubDate, description, category"
format="pubDate|date|%Y-%m-%d %H:%I:%S,
description|escape, title|escape, utitle|sanitize|url_title">
<txp:smd_query query="INSERT INTO textpattern
SET Posted='{pubDate}', LastMod=NOW()
url_title='{utitle}',
Title='{title}', custom_3='{link}',
Body='{description}', Body_html='{description}',
Section='links', Category1='delicious',
keywords='{category}'" />
</txp:smd_xml>Offline

Re: smd_xml : extract data from XML feeds
The comma behind LastMod=NOW()?

no that did not fix it, neither did LastMod='NOW()',
also i’m running this test site on xampp, not sure if it would affect anything.

It works for me with the latest beta (though I’m running a development copy of smd_query too, that shouldn’t affect it).
Can you output stuff from your feed to the screen inside the smd_xml container ok?

yes it’s outputting without the query section. so i’m going to now assume it’s something to do with running a local server. the problem is i dont want to test on a live one, and then spit articles into the rss feed.

Or maybe it’s a problem with smd_query. Wanna try my version?

Re: smd_xml : extract data from XML feeds
Hi Stef, I’m trying to parse a youtube feed. The link field appears many times, but I would like to use only the first occurrence. Is it possible? The concat parameter let me use the last, and that’s not useful for me. A related question: the link fields appear with different attributes. Is it possible to target only the fields that has some attribute and not the others? E.g.
<entry>
<id>http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/XXXXX</id>
...
<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXX&feature=youtube_gdata"/>
<link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video.responses" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/XXXXX/responses"/>
<link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video.related" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/XXXXX/related"/>
<link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#mobile" type="text/html" href="https://m.youtube.com/details?v=XXXXX"/>
<link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/p40it/uploads/XXXXX"/>
</entry>I’d like to use the href content of the first link. There is a way I could try to use type or rel=“alternate” to target it?

Be my guest. This plugin has rotted to the point I was considering overhauling it, then yours came along so I didn’t need to bother!
Although istr the latest smd_xml beta will do what Zanza wants, I’d have to refresh my memory on what options to use to do it, and it may well involve smd_if. Yours will be faster, I’m sure.

Thanks for the welcome, sir!

Not at all, the network connection to youtube will take 99.99% of time with both anyway. I simply think xpath is a right thing to use here. Importing the first link’s href takes no more than
<txp:etc_query url="...youtube..." markup="xml" query="string(//entry/link[1]/@href)" />provided there is only one entry in the feed.
