Hi,

Your work is excellent and i am using a lot of stuff from your website to
clean up my web design work.

I am a webdesigner and have very little knowledge of programming.
HTML/[photo editing] using [brand] is what i am good at!

My current problem is with  a site for client ([company]) where they have an
xml import function for news which is updated daily. This information has to
be displayed in a small table on my sites homepage and then it can update
automatically.

So far i dont have a clue and would appreciate any help here. Your XML
import script seems to be perfect so i would be grateful if you could guide
me to use it on the website.

The site in question is [URL]

The section is [brand] News Overview which has to be updated via XML import.

The XML information is as follows:

1. Scan export file 1 for the latest news and get the URL of export file 2
URLs of export file 1:
English: [URL to XML file]
German: [URL to XML file]

Here you will find a list of current corporate news of international
relevance. In export file 2 you will find details on a particular news
release such as the headline and the link to the news release on the [brand]
Server.
Explanation of the file structure of export file 1:
Tag 	Description
<language> 	News language: EN = English or DE = German
<baseurl> 	Prefix URL export life 2
<pino> 	Logical number of the news
<docid> 	Unique ID of the news
<modified> 	Date and time of the last modification of the news
	
Example of export file 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<export>
    <language>EN</language>
    <baseurl>[URL]</baseurl>
    <pi>
          <pino>2008-0198</pino>
          <docid>32F02B308852E391C125744800322C5B</docid>
          <modified>2008-05-13 17:13</modified>
    </pi>
</export>

2. Access export file 2 to get the headline and the link to the
[brand] Server
URL of export file 2:
To get export file 2 with the headline of a news item and the link to the
news item on the [brand] Server, you have to combine the <baseurl> and
<docid> of export file 1, e.g. [URL]

Explanation of the file structure of export file 2:
Tag 	Description
<baseurl> 	Prefix URL export life 2
<pino> 	Logical number of the news
<language> 	News language: EN = English or DE = German
<modified> 	Date and time of the last modification of the news
<date><time> 	Date and time of publication
<topline> 	1st part of the headline
<headline> 	2nd and main part of the headline
<underline> 	3rd part of the headline
	
Example of export file 2:
<piexport>
   <pihead>
      <baseurl>[URL]</baseurl>
      <pino>2008-0198</pino>
      <language>EN</language>
      <modified>2008-05-13 17:13</modified>
   </pihead>
   <pibody>
       <date>2008-05-13</date>
       <time>11:30</time>
       <topline>[article]</topline>
       <toplineexport>[article]</toplineexport>
       <headline>
       [article]
       </headline>
       <headlineexport>
       [article]
       </headlineexport>
       <underline>[article]</underline>
       <underlineexport>[article]</underlineexport>
   </pibody>
</piexport>

Link to news release on the [brand] Server:
<baseurl> of export file 2 and <docid> of export file 1, e.g. [URL]

Appearance of an imported news on a [brand site]:
<date>
<toplineexport>
<headlineexport>
<underlineexport> <link ">> more">

thanks
