XML Editing

The XmlModule provides a basic Create Read Update Delete features for a simple one level XML structure.

Setup Action

To create a simple editor or display an XML format you will want to an action to your page's xconf file. We will use an example editor located in /openedit/update/editsites.xconf:

<page>
    <page-action name="Xml.loadXmlFile">
        <path>/openedit/update/sites.xml</path>
        <fileid>sites</fileid>
        <element-name>site</element-name>
        <attribute id="id" description="Id" size="5" />
        <attribute id="text" description="Text" size="20 "/>
        <attribute id="href" description="Adddress" size="20"/>
    </page-action>
</page>

path - This points to the XML file you want to create.
fileid - A unique name we use to refer to this file on the edit forms
element-name - The name of the main elements we are editing
attribute - A listing of what attributes should be managed on the editor

Editor Screen

You can then create our own copy of or just pull in the existing editor screen:

$pages.stream("/openedit/editors/xml/embeded.html")

XML Output

The resulting XML for this example:

<sites>
<site id="dev" text="Development Site" href="http://localhost:8080/beta/"/>
<site id="stage" text="Staging Site" href="http://localhost:8080/qa/"/>
<site id="prod" text="Production Site" href="http://localhost:8080/"/>
</sites>
