XMLgrab Not Fetching
Development and Programming
For some odd known reason XMLgrab will not fetch anything. It shows this and that is it.
Fetching: http://www.example.com/grab/party_planet.xml
My code I am using:
{exp:xmlgrab url="http://www.example.com/grab/party_planet.xml"
itempath="/venues/venue"
weblog="51"
author="1"
title="company_name"
date="posted_year-posted_month-posted_day"
use="address|city_name|province_name|postal_code|phone|company_url|description|venue_type|latitude|longitude"
fields="street_address|city|providence|postal_code|phone1|web_address|description|event_type|latitude|longitude"}Simple version of the XML file I am grabbing from:
<venues>
<venue>
<company_name>Example XML Entry</company_name>
<address>500 Test St</address>
<city_name>Vancouver</city_name>
BC</province_name>
V6B 4y2</postal_code>
<latitude>49.285956000</latitude>
<longitude>-123.111764000</longitude>
555-555-1212</phone>

Any ideas on what might be happening. I am thinking about taking the plunge for Solspace’s Importer and scrapping XMLgrab all together, I have used FeedGrab and that worked fine but XMLgrab has taken hours from me with no results.
Thank you to all who responded :blank:.
Ok so I went with Solspace Importer and wish I had earlier as I would have saved myself 4 hours of tinkering. It may be a little pricey but well worth it, a true importer for the masses:)
dvancouver, at least you did help me. Tried the same with XMLgrab, but I had trouble with it too. Reading this, I quickly decided to get the Solspace module and that worked (though not immediatly for PHP 4, but now it does, thanks to Mitchell)
