I am trying to display "Species" in the text box below, however, I keep getting an XML error. I am not sure why as I believe I have the correct pathway. Is there something I am missing? Help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

Hi Cassidy,

Where are you setting X in your revXMLNodeContents script?

I was able to script the following an the string "dog" was returned as expected (ommiting my auth key)-

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put url "http://www.petango.com/WebServices/wsAdoption.asmx/AdoptableSearch?authkey=**AUTHKEYHERE**&speciesID=&sex=F&ageGroup=&location=&site=&onHold=&orderBy=&primaryBreed=&secondaryBreed=&specialNeeds=&noDogs=&noCats=&noKids=Y&stageID=" into tURL
   put revXMLCreateTree(tURL,true,true,flase) into tData
   put revXMLNodeContents(tData, "ArrayOfXmlNode/XmlNode/adoptableSearch/Species") into tSpecies
   put tSpecies
end mouseUp

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

I set the url into x, but looking at your code I believe my problem may have been that for putrevXMLNodeContents I wasn't using the "field" used above for the tree. So that worked, but now I am trying to extract "Species" from all of the "XmlNode"s and did research finding repeat is a good method. I am getting the same error again though--is this because I am not using revXMLChildNames correctly?

Also--a basic question--how can I set my "tInfo" as an output so that the data extracted is shown in "tInfo" rather than coming up in the message center?

Thank you!!!!!!

Hi Cassidy,

I would look into converting the XML data to a LiveCode array as this would make it a bit easier to work with within LiveCode. The good news is that there is a stack available that takes care of this for you-

http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/571/XMLAndArrays

In regards to the message box showing the XML data, you have to put this variable into something (e.g a field, datagrid etc) as if "Put" is used on its own, the data is simply placed in the message box (great for debugging purposes).

So in my example, I would need to change

Code: Select all

put tSpecies

to something like

Code: Select all

 put tSpecies into field "data"

if I did not want it to show in the message box.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

on mouseUp
   put url "http://www.petango.com/webservices/wsadoption.asmx/AdoptableSearch?authkey={AUTHKEY}&speciesID=&sex=&ageGroup=&location=&site=&onHold=&orderBy=&primaryBreed=&secondaryBreed=&specialNeeds=&noDogs=&noCats=&noKids=&stageID=" into  tURL
   put revCreateXMLTree( tURL, true, true, false) into tInfo
   put revXMLChildNames( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode", return, "XmlNode", true) into tChildren -- "XmlNode" = Correct , "XmlNode/adoptableSearch" = incorect, should only use 1 level
   repeat for each line tChild in tChildren
      add 1 to x
      put revXMLChildNames( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&backslash, return, "adoptableSearch", true) into tAdoptable -- most of the times theirs just 1 node in here but you could add 1 more repeat in case there are more
      --put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/adoptableSearch[1]/ID") & comma after tData -- ID
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/Name") & comma after tData -- Name
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/Species") & comma after tData -- Species
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/Sex") & comma after tData -- Sex
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/PrimaryBreed") & comma after tData -- PrimaryBreed
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/SecondaryBreed") & comma after tData -- SecondaryBreen
      --put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/adoptableSearch[1]/SN") & comma after tData -- SN
      put revXMLNodeContents( tInfo, "ArrayOfXmlNode/"&tChild&"/"&tAdoptable&"/Age") after tData -- Age
      put return after tData
   end repeat
   
   put tData// & return after tOutput
   //set the text of field "Species" to tOutput
end mouseUp

It should be straight forward from here how to get the photos too, let me know if you need help.
