Is it possible to provide a LIVE XML feed from the FaLM to the XML Module that will show data that is updated / edited / created in FaLM ?

I know you can export data in XML format from FaLM however it is a flat file and the XML Live feed in FaLM is only visible when the user has Admin rights.

 

UPDATED: 09-12-2009

I went ahead an altered the module code myself to remove the Admin security settings from the ShowXML.vb file.

Just in case anybody whats to know how to get a Live Updated XML feed from FaLM.

Line 43 Remove:  OrElse (context.Request.IsAuthenticated)

Line 64 Changed:             .Edit, "EDIT"             to             .View, "VIEW"

Recompile the module.

You can also use the reports module with the FnL Data Source to render a live XML feed.

You are opening all FnL data to the public, everybody can access all data. It had a reason why it was done that way.

Dear Stefan,
Do you have any updates on the issue!?
I'm needing to use the data that I am gathering with FNL in another module via custom (pre-setup) interface: XML, HTML template, Custom Template (XSL transformation).

For example: http://www.formandlist.com/Documentat...  should generate xml file.

Is there any way to implement that in curent module?!

No, and I don't think that I will ever change that.

Currently there are 4 ways to go:
  • XSL support which is already build into FnL
  • FnL DataSource for reports module
  • write a custom handler which returns your XML
  • modify the source on your own
I cannot recommend the last option for security reasons.

In most cases the first option is all what you need, as you can reuse the same instance (and the data) on other pages too.

I just build a fairly large sized web site, 50 pages or so, using mostly the Form and List module.  I was stumped by the xml issue as well until i re-thought my approach.  Creating a "Content Management" area, viewable to only your content managers.  Creating the form and list there with all the elements of your content.  Then on your content pages, add existing module from your content management area.. and assign an xsl to the list and apply a filter.. and pow your done.  Different pages can apply different xsl templates and different filters.  Very awesome module this form and list is.
