I have a problem with the editor.

First, I think it’s a fantastic tool

Second, I’m Spanish, and I hope you can understand me (I’ll try)

Third: The Flash XML Editor works perfect. I think it has a poor design, so you can tell me about a redesign of the application (I have one running in a new design..).

When I upload a image, mkdir a directory called ‘images’ and upload the image on it, but next nothing else do, and when I press the preview button says that can’t load the image.

What’s the problem??

Thanks again for this script !!

Seriously considering this file for a client.

Hi Michael,

Great great component and I know you’re busy but when you have a chance, it would be great if you could have a look at this quirky issue for me. It’s something I noticed someone else on this page had earlier but I trawled through all the messages and haven’t found a solution.

I’m using it to edit Chuckanucka’s fantastic news reader and it all works fine apart from one problem….

Here is the original XML :

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?> 18th June, 2008 Administrator news_images/news01bjon.jpg Jon arrives in LA <![CDATA[
At last! After months of preparations and recent goodbye partying, Jon has finally landed in Los Angeles, CA.

Jon arrived this morning and is quickly settling in with the LA sunshine shining brightly outside his window.

Starting from today he will be recording his every move for you all in his own personal diary.

Check back soon to read the very first installment where you’ll find out exactly what Jon has been upto in his first week in the US of A!
]]>

And it works just fine.

On editing it with the XML editor – all I do is change the text content for example, and it does this to the XML file (I’ve spaced it back out for clarity)

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?> 2nd July, 2008 Administrator news_images/news03famous5.jpg A test This is a test! Seeing if it works? Hmmm….I wonder??? Check back soon to read the very first installment where you'll find out exactly what Jon has been upto in his first week in the US of A!

—as you can see, the CDATA tag has disappeared and this would be ok apart from that fact that it messes up how the news reader goes on to display its content.

Have done as much searching as I can to try and resolve this, but am now stuck so would appreciate a helping hand when you get a chance!

Cheers and congrats to an otherwise awesome bit of software – especially at the price.

btw – in the post above, a bunch of tags have been removed, so it’s probably impossible to see what the problem is…let me try and resolve that

Does anyone have any known bugs in this file or should I just purchase it?

mich1s

Apart from the one I mentioned above, this is a great file.

If your XML files contain CDATA tags, then the editor strips them out and so the file that uses the XML file reads it wrongly.

Hopefully Michael will answer soon and have a solution for this annoying bug.

I also am interested in using this with the Triworks FULL XML Website V3 and also OXYLUS Image gallery V2. How does it perform with those products.

Have been speaking with Chris Mapson, another XML Editor user regarding this issue. He found a website that might be useful, but we both looked at it and it’s a little over our heads unfortunately.

If anyone else is cleverer, they may be able to provide a solution?

http://www.sephiroth.it/phpBB/archive/index.php/t-5720.html

I get what’s going on here – but I don’t know how to implement THIS solution into Michael Hejja’s scripting.

Hejja – I’m not one of those buyers who rudely demand instant support, but if you read this, any suggestions/comments?

Cheers all and let’s hope we find a solution, it would be SO helpful!

Hi, this is great (I purchased it). do you have a patch for deleting the actual image in the folder when you delete it from the nodes?

Thanks.

@mich1s Thanks for the comments. I am actually like you guys – still trying to figure out the best solution to this. It will probably be on the php side when the xml is saved – others also wanted the XML to be re-structured since Flash strips out the white space, so I will probably tackle these two things at the same time.

@samnait No this does not exist because not everybody will necessarrily want to delete the image from the server. This is a useful secondary function, howere that I will look into.

I uploaded the file to the root of my server as per the instructions but when I click on the tab to write the location of the xml file it wont let me type anything, I’m like stuck at this point.

I know that your busy answering 500 question, but when ever you can holla my way.

I have the same problem as DuneGlow

kamdiba

scratch that, the instructions were a bit off. The system should auto-create an xml folder for u in ur root dir. Just drop ur xml files in there.

Hi Michael and everyone trying to find a solution to this CDATA tag issue.

Michael, following on from your comment about the solution being on the PHP side when the XML is saved, I’m no code warrior, but I thought I might take a stab at trying to find a solution.

I hope you don’t mind – I edited your PHP code and added a few lines.

The only tags that everyone seems to care about being ripped out are the CDATA ones, which have a very specific encoding and are unlikely to be part of any other regular content – no?

The file that you need to edit is:

saveXML.php

And the new edited code is here:

http://pastie.org/232579

So far, I’ve tested it with an XML file from Chuckanucka’s news feeder (great component!) and it works – I downloaded the saved XML and sure enough, there are shiny new CDATA tags.

The only issues I ran into were this…

You have to make sure that your tags open and close properly.

I thought I had a problem with a CDATA tag being pasted at the end of my test XML , but found that it was because I closed a P tag incorrectly – forgetting the slash.

Also, when you edit the text in the XML editor, it will come up with tags in the description – these have to be kept. You can’t just select all the text and start typing fresh, it will then not work – as there won’t be the relevant tags for the PHP script to locate and replace.

Basically, edit the content, taking care not to delete any of the structural tags in the text window.

I’d be most grateful if you guys could try this out and test it – I know it’s not an elegant solution, but not being a code expert, it’s the simplest solution I could think of.

Cheers,

Michael

OK, already running into little issues – trying to see if I can do anything, otherwise looks like we’ll have to wait for the Hejja to fix things!

mich1s

OK – i have a new solution: even better

Posted 6 days ago

mich1s

Basically, it works like this.

Replacing all the tags was just an impossibility because you can’t account for all varying situations.

So I divided it up into a 2 stage process.

1. Replace the opening and closing CDATA tags with str_replace

2. Fix the remaining garbled HTML tags by running the resulting above string through PHP ’s html_entity_decode function.

So far, this is looking a lot more bulletproof, can anyone please test?

The code is here:

Same file as before (saveXML.php)

http://pastie.org/232583

Hope it works guys!!

Cheers,

Michael

OK, I humbly admit my ignorance!!! My hack is not a great one.

I just realised that basically all my script did was search for decoded paragraph tags and replace them with opening CDATA AND paragraph tags at the beginning and a closing paragraph followed by the closing CDATA tag at the end.

Since the only times I ever use CDATA is when I follow it with a paragraph explains why it works for me, however this won’t work for anyone who uses CDATA without immediately following it with a paragraph.

Here is the link to the code again with updated correct comments!

Hi,

If I have an XML node like:

the editor doesn’t recognize the image. What do you recommend?

Hey there

Thank you the exellent file! I have one studid question think it is the same as Flashmoon’s, how does one populate the combobox – is it supposed to access a XML folder in one’s root – once again appologies if this is a duh question.

Five stars for this utility.
