XML from URL

Post by mixondigital » 27 May 2015, 20:01

Hi All. I'm getting a live XML feed from a URL. Just having trouble getting the data in from a webpage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What about the XML File node?
You have to Copy&Paste the URL to the 'File' property!

Best Regards
Karol

Copy and paste into the file property window doesn't seem to work :(

Seems like it's trying to process, but when it's done, this is what ends up in the property window.

ventuz://Data/ta/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/FNS99VMP/meta[1].xml

Any other suggestions?

It's all working now. How do I have the data update in Ventuz, if the data changes in the URL?

Ventuz won't notice an update in a resource outside the local machine (where the file system offers a notification). And there is no update button for some reason. But you can bind the auto-update flag to a toggle and just hit toggle whenever you need to check for an update. It doesn't matter whether the auto-update is on or off, as it doesn't work. but toggling it will perform a refresh. If you need to know if anything changed, send the xml string into a string variable and use the changed event.

Best,
rou
