    Generate a custom XML feed

    Hi all,

    Been trying to crack this for a while but no joy! I basicaly want to create an XML (URL) which contains details on properties on my website.

    In essence what i need is this following simple XSLT done in a way that when you go on the URL it's a XML format that can be red by RSS readers if that makes sense!

    <xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@isDoc and @level = 1]" />

     

    <xsl:for-each select="$siteRoot/descendant-or-self::*[@isDoc and name() = 'AProperty']">

    <item>

    <title><xsl:value-of select="@nodeNAme"/></title>

    </item>

    </xsl:for-each>

    Hopefully it's simple an im being a bit silly!

    Thanks

    Pete

    Hi Peter,

    Looking at your example XSLT, it is most likely the casing of "@nodeNAme" (XSLT is case-sensitive), try "@nodeName", see if that works.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee, I wish unfortunatly just a spelling mistake made putting the code on here, heres my full XSLT which when going on the page shows everything i want but isnt in the usual XML and cant be read by a reader.

    Not sure if it's a copy-n-paste issue (on this forum), but looks like you are escaping all the angle-brackets ... so the rendered "XML" output, is not really XML, but HTML-escaped text.  If that's the case, try removing all the <xsl:text> elements and swapping all the escaped entities, (e.g. &lt and &gt) to proper angle-brackets.

    Cheers, Lee.
