Flashblocks Flash CMS Component
(Flash Content Management System)

Hi,

I try to load only some part of the xml file where flashblocks save the data. But I don't find a solution to do that properly.

Ok we can load all the data file in php and print it with:

$datafile = file_get_contents("link_to_data_file.xml");
print("$datafile");

Or in html with something like:

<xml id="datafile" src="link_to_data_file.xml"></xml>
<span datafld="nodename"></span>


But with the xml created by flashblocks I don't find a way to display only part of the xml and not the entire content, for exemple I try to display only some "div id"

Why doing that? To generate a mobile version of the flash site and having the possibility to edit the content only on the main site.

Somebody can help me to find the solution?

Thanks in advance.

David

Hi,

No update :-( . I'm searching a way to parse the flashblocks xml but I don't find a good solution.

Thank you.

So sorry for not replying, I did not see this thread. Did you even find a solution to parsing the xml file? I created a system for parsing the Flashblocks 3 data file but the Flashblocks 2 xml is different. None the less, it may help.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. No I didn't find a solution to parse the xml file in flashblocks 2. I will be happy if you can help me to do that.

The idea is to use the data file to create a php of html5 version of the site using the same data file. So we can manage the site with flashblocks and have also a version for other devices which do not support flash actually.

Thank you again.

I would use php's simplexml. It makes parsing any xml file pretty simple. php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php
