making an xml for the first time

[Michael.A]

i want to overwrite a Template in postbit_legacy using an xml?

exp:-

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
			</div>

to

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] </div>
			</div>

how can i do that?

thanks.

It looks like all you did is remove the skypeicon from the template? Why don't you just edit it to remove it or in the plugin set $post[skypeicon]='' so it won't get printed?

see am making a mod thats why i need to know how to make a xml i only used this as an exp:-
please help if you can...

The XML is made automatically when you export your product I believe?

[Michael.A]

yes sir but am trying to make it overwrite part in postbit_legacy who ever helps me i well give him or her credit on the mod i made for helping make it in a xml....

[James Birkett]

A plugin maybe?

PHP Code:

str_replace("<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div></div>","<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] </div></div>","<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div></div>"); 


I'm not 100% sure if it would work - however, it can't hurt to try.


You'd probably want the "parse_template" hook.

[Michael.A]

so this is the code to use

str_replace("");

is this right?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="mad first xml" active="1">
	<title>mad first xml</title>
	<description>mad first xml</description>
	<version>0.0.0</version>
	<url />
	<versioncheckurl />
	<dependencies>

	</codes>
	<templates>
	</templates>
<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
			<title>Postbit</title>
			<hookname>postbit_display_complete</hookname>
code here


</plugin>

see i know this is not right buc its a plugin and am trying to overwrite Template?

[James Birkett]

You'd need to edit it in the template - not the postbit.
Try using the parse_templates hook.

[Michael.A]

how about now?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="mad first xml" active="1">
	<title>mad first xml</title>
	<description>mad first xml</description>
	<version>0.0.0</version>
	<url />
	<versioncheckurl />
	<dependencies>
	</dependencies>
	<codes>
	</codes>
	<templates>
	</templates>
<phpcode active="1" executionorder="5">
			<title>template</title>
			<hookname>parse_templates</hookname>
code here


</phpcode>

is there any tut for this on .org?

[James Birkett]

I thought any plugin code had to be wrapped in <phpcode></phpcode>?

It should work (providing the hook is parse_templates and not parse_template).
