Create a new page in /wp-admin (in the left column: Pages -> Add New); create new custom page template after reading through this doc; put your code in there; go into the page you created in #1 and assign the page template to it (in the right column, Page Attributes box, the drop-down under ‘Template’ … Read more
Lots of places in WordPress use xml_parse including the Atom library, the XML-RPC Library that we use, and SimplePie The oembed class uses SimpleXML. The WordPress Importer and Jetpack actually use both (Jetpack for different things, and the importer tries to use SimpleXML and falls back if it doesn’t exist). Basically, there’s nothing built into … Read more
You should use a localized XML format like XLIFF or TMX , there is a tool to convert XLIFF to .po. If you cannot change the source XML you have a few options but it really depends how your outputting this XML info: Parse the XML ( for label) and create a .po with gettext … Read more
You need to loop through the attachments within your post loop, replace the section of code you posted with this (put this together from some other code I found related to a similar problem, but couldn’t test it): </BasicDetails> <?php $args = array( ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, // show all … Read more
WordPress bundles and wraps SimplePie class for feed download, caching and processing. Retrieving namespaced data with it would be something like this: $feed = fetch_feed( ‘http://www.wdcdn.net/rss/presentation/library/client/iowa/id/128b053b916ea1f7f20233e8a26bc45d’ ); $items = $feed->get_items(); foreach ( $items as $item ) { $credit = $item->get_item_tags( ‘http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/’, ‘credit’ ); var_dump( $credit ); } See fetch_feed() in Codex.
The way you are going about it is wrong. The source of data should not be relevant to how you store it in the DB. If the fact that this is a 3rd party service that supplies the data in some buzzword format confuses you, maybe you should try to imagine the input as coming … Read more
What do you need to edit and why can’t you edit in the WP editor? Can you use Search RegEx? It’s a plugin to search and replace with grep and regular expressions through content. If you need to develop a regex search string to find certain content, check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/regex
I would wage that your issue is with \r\n (CRLF). If the newlines are created in Windows, they’ll go into the database as \r\n and when serialized get counted as 2 characters. Then when importing, they’ll only be counted as 1 character and they’ll corrupt the string. I tested this hypothesis and sure enough I … Read more
Actually, my recommendation would be to do things a bit differently. You can add a custom rewrite endpoint to WordPress to handle these files specifically. For example, the URL http://site.com/download-xml/the_filename would automatically download the specified file as an attachment. First, you need to add a custom rewrite endpoint to set this up: function add_endpoint() { … Read more
