I have the following specific problem.. I have xml-files which have the following general format: ... ... ... <object id="11534" type="6"> <property id="393228"> <int>33554431</int> </property> </object> ... ... ... where a property can (instead of type int) be a object again, or a objref, or a simple type. I want to use xslt to transform this format, to something more specific like: <object6 id="11534"> <property id="393228"> <int>33554431</int> </property> </object6> (So object types can be distinguished by looking only at the n…

I Have an image database with many photos I would like to via FMP export a found set to XML and have a web browser open up with 4up images so i can view them. Then hit a next button to see the next four. The reason we wish to do this is that speed is becoming an issue we need to be able to flip thru a few hundred images in a few seconds to get an broad sence of the contents of pictures. Viewing images via FMP is slow to render. If I understand XML it only needs to create one html document? then the XSL say will display 4 images at a time.? Then the user could sort the images based upon the xml /xsl? I created another method creating html pages but this creates …

Dear All, Is there a way to export a record to Ms-word file using XML right? ... I really have no idea how to make a ms-word file. Someone knows about it? Thanks

Every time I try to export a url containing an "&", fmpxmlresult adds "amp;" to the output following the "&". I'm planning to just write an applescript to remove the "amp;" everywhere it occurs but it would be nice if this wasn't necessary. Does anyone have any idea's as to why this is happening and how I could stop it. Thanks

I'm begining to learn about XSL and how it works to get the info from an XML source. However, I'm stumped when it comes to knowing how to format my HTTP requests to the XML data source on the web. Can someone enlighten me as to the standards, I see lots of "?" and "&" and "=" used, but I'm not confident enough, smart enough, nor patient enough to keep experimenting with various formats of these things.

https://dlaweb.bsm.dla.mil/SRweb/ contains XML files under the 'download daily' area. Also available is something called a 'DTD' file . I know the DTD is Doc Type Definition. From first reasearch I gather this is similar to an XSLT. PROBLEM:When I try to open XML source and direct Filemaker to the downloaded XML file (SolsDailyXML2003-04-23.xml) it returns an 'XML Parsing Error...'Attribute NAME not declared for Element SYSTEMPARAMETER'. Do I need to somehow use the DTD to create an XSL which will tell FMP how to interpret the XML? or is there something wrong with my thinking that FMP can open this doc? Could I somehow open in Excel or is some other APP r…

I'm exporting to an xml file using an xsl stylesheet. The fmp file has fields "alpha" and "beta" (I'm simplifying this down to its essentials). The contents of these fields are respectively "one" and "two". Here's what I want in the output document: one two I've tried various methods to achieve this. However, if I use the standard technique: <xsl:value-of select="fmp:alpha"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="fmp:beta"/> I get: one two (Actually, it's "one" followed by 0D0D0A; i.e. there's an extra carriage return.) I've tried just about everything else I could think of, such as: <xsl:value-of select…

I have to export my records as XML. Because of some advantages of it. But it has got a disadvantage too. XML files are to larger than tab files. How can i decrese my XML file. Can XSL help me? Is it larger file too? Thanks for your helps.

Hi, I have absolutely no prior knowledge or experience of XML XSL I've heard words like stylesheets etc but have never read anything about this so I haven't got a clue. Can someone tell me if the following would be possible using XML There is a website - not mine so I cannot change this in anyway - this website contains records and fields. One of the fields is a reference number. Can I set my solution up so that in my FileMaker Pro Database I can enter the reference number, click a button, it will then go off to the website find this record, and bring back into my database the other information from the other fields into seperate fileds on my database.…

I created a test db called, newsletter which contains the fields of article_id, category, title, summary, and weblink. Then I exported it to XML and when I veiwed the XML file, there was a lot of stuff which I wasn't too clear on. The tags were <col><data>foobar</data></col> for all the records, my question is how do you make it such that it would be <article id="123"> <category>Sales</category><title>My title</title><summary>Blah Blah Blah</summary><weblink>http://mylink.com/thislink.com</weblink> </article> Is this where XSL comes in? If so, can anyone explain how to write my…

I work for a company that has a FileMaker system and needs to have its system data to be viewed on the company intranet. As I've read about all the limitation on using webcompanion. I've been thinking that exporting filemaker records to an XML file could be a solution to make these data in FileMaker to be seen by the whole company using intranet. Does someone have experience on making something similar to what I need ?

Hi, I'm quite new to xml, so this may be a silly question, but here goes.... I'm creating a FM solution that will import data from QuickBooks, an accounting package from Intuit that has about 90% of the market for small business accounting software. I'm using the FileBooks Link plug-in (Happy Software) to exchange xml data between FM and QB. I'm sending a query to QB that results in the creation of an xml document. I'm then importing this xml document into FM via an xslt that I've created. So far, so good. In QuickBooks, users can make deposits into their bank account. There is data for the total amount of the deposit, as well as data for each che…

I want to have a field in my database be the title of the web page generated by an XSL template file. One of the sample files uses the name of the database as the title of the web page like so: <html> <head> <title> <xsl:value-of select="$dbName"/> </title> </head> I am wondering if it is possible to have the value in a specific field as the title. field name: company and have the value of the 'company' field (ABC Yard Service) to be the title in a webpage. I was thinking I could use something like: <xsl:value-of select="fieldName:company"/> but I do not know the correct syntax or if i…

Very Newbie question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer on the FM web site. I have a simple XML document created in another app. Basically a flat spreadsheet of info. I would like to be able to open it in FM6, really just to view it. But I can't seem to get FM6 to either open it or import it. I think my problem is that I need to define a XSL style sheet. How do I do this? My platform (for this project is NT4) TIA Jerry

I am a rigorous FMP developer but have avoided web publishing (except instant wp). I now need to investment the time to learn custom publishing. Here are three questions that maybe someone can give an opinion on: 1 Can the newly touted XML/XSL combo replace the CDML tag route completely? 2 Is CDML going to survive and thrive (is it adequately supported by 3rd party companies?) 3 Honestly, if you were starting out to learn web development as a career, which would you choose...XML or CDML and if, "you need both", why? Multiple postings and long dialogs appreciated. Thanks. ------------------

I am using FM5 and use the xml in an ASP application. <COL> <DATA>value1</DATA> <DATA>value2</DATA> </COL> where there is only one data element i can use the following code to get the value i want: var = columns.item(0).text however, what code do i need to use to be able to read 'value1'or 'value2' ? thanks Neil

Hello, I am new to using FMP with XML and am just curious if this can be done.. I want to setup a DVD database where I can just enter the ISBN number of a DVD, and have filemaker pull an XML file from a website (based on the ISBN Number) and auto enter all the details of the DVD. Amazon.com provides XML feeds on all their product info pages, and it's cataloged by the ISBN number, so that would be the source of the information. Thanks! Cory

Ok, I'm gonna be very honest about this. I'm trying to make my (very, very) first XML steps. So I downloaded the example files from FM but they don't work on my mac. Why ? Do I have to put a plug-in ? Is there a place on the web where I can find a 'great' tutorial for working with FM and XML, or is there a good book. I found good websites yet to learn XML, like www.topxml.com The manual and FM-site all sound a bit vague to me. Thankyou for reading and eventually answering my very newbee question. Mich

Can you direct me to a example to save a simple solusition as XML ... So others can view it with a web brouser.

Can anyone tell me how the XML output is beefed up in v6? I specifically want to know if output from a portal can be formatted differently or if xslt transformations can be applied. (Currently I can't get our XML output from several FM portals to work in our Mac environment because I cannot transform the column-like xml portal output back into a row-like format that the portal should be viewed as.) So can FM do xslt transforms, or has any good new xslt parsers for InternetExplorer for Mac popped up? Thanks Chris

I'm having problems formatting my database using xsl. Even when I use css, it doesn't do it correctly. But when I use xsl, it doesn't work at all. I get the message: "Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. " I'm using the url with the tags in it like this: "-styletype=text/xsl&-stylehref=http://192.168.254.205/xsl1.xsl" What could be wrong with how I'm doing this? Any ideas? Thanks, Zach
