hi,

i've been working on creating a dynamic xml feed so that any images that are uploaded to the CMS automatically update the gallery. However, i have more than one gallery on the site, but I am unable to get xml feed into the flash swf.

i have got the xml feed working, it's just getting the images to feed into the flash.

the code is below:
<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

require_once "C:/Users/Dani/Documents/xampp-win32-1.6.6a/xampp/htdocs/janizm/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($indexRecords, $indexMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'index',
));
list($galleryRecords, $galleryMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'gallery',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
'loadUploads' => 'uploads'
));
$galleryRecord = @$galleryRecords[0]; // get first record
list($linksRecords, $linksMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'links',
));
list($contactRecords, $contactMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'contact',
));
// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$galleryRecord) {
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

Hi dsternalski,

There's a few things you can try. Let's start with this:

Add the code in red to this line:
xmlfile=http://localhost/janizm/images.xml.php?num=<?php echo $record ['num']?>&'

And change this line as well:
'where' => "num = '" .mysql_real_escape_string(@$_REQUEST['num']). "'",

We've seen some examples in the past where SSP or flash added some extra numbers on the end of the url before requesting it, so even if num=123 was requested you'd get num=123;2342343 and CMSB would try to load the number on the end instead of the one intended. You could check your web logs to test that theory or try the above changes and let me know if that makes a difference.

Hope that helps, let me know how it goes!
