Mambot mosxslt and an external xml file

[photophiles]

Hi
I use the mambot mosxslt to combine xml file and xslt file. It works but only if I work with a local xml file (on my server).
Is it possible to make it work with an external xml file like URL given by some affiliation (amazon, alapage, pricerunner..) ??
Thanks for your ideas

I am looking to accomplish the same task.

Were you able to get this worked out?

Thanks!

No, never succeeded,
I use a php file to combine xslt and xml like this one, then a module for joomla to insert the php file... really not perfect, but works

$xml_file="http://";
$xsl_file = "yourfile.xsl";
$xh = xslt_create();
$file=fopen($xml_file,"r");
while (!feof($file)) {
$xml .= fread($file, 1024);
}
fclose($file);
$file=fopen($xsl_file,"r");
$xsl=fread($file,16384);
fclose($file);
$arguments = array(
'/_xml' => $xml,
'/_xsl' => $xsl
);
$result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $arguments);
xslt_free($xh);
print "$result";

Thanks for this!

Do you have a copy of botmosxslt or mosxslt?

I have been looking for this mambot but have been unable to find it.

If I get any solution worked out I will post it back to this thread

Thanks again.

mosxslt Plugin/Mambot http://brentbushnell.com/2008/02/06/joomla-xsl-mambot/ I'm just about to test it, I hope it allow me to format tables faster in joomla articles.

I've been using mosxslt for a long time and it works quite well, it is interesting to know all the kind of things you can get done with xml and xslt

[hablutzel1]

Now I can remember that I modified the plugin to get it working, furthermore I added support to specify the place where the plugin will search for xslt and xml files, I'm attaching the modified plugin, to get it working you have to add support for xslt tranformations to your php5 installation, furthermore, by default you will need to create the folder

joomla/mosxslt/xml

Because the plugin will search for xslt and xml in that folder, but you can change it through the plugin administration. Let me know if it has bugs (maybe loading xml files through http, because I haven't tested that).

Hi,

I'm badly looking for XSL plugin. I have installed this component. But somehow it's recognized in the article. Please see it here. http://www.cricintel.co.cc/test-xml-xsl

I have activated legacy plugin and installed mosxslt_modified.zip . Any help would be really appreciated.
