Hi
Can anyone suggest the best way to update an xml file using CMSB. The xml file passes image details to a Flash file that displays rotating images.
It's to be used on a new section so I also want to be able to limit the number of images that are displayed, say the three most recently added.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
You can use PHP to create your XML file by adding .php as an extension. For example:
images.xml.php
You can then output your xml with your CMS Builder records embedded in them like you would on a regular CMSB page. As an example, take a look at this doc page about creating an RSS Feed:

Hope this helps get you started.
