Excel to XML for spry

O.k. i am a designer and i can see the benefit of spry big
time in my work flow. BIG TIME. But i have a client site i am
working on that has a bunch of data but its all in excel files.
Right now to make useful web pages out of it i am using web merge.
i can see using spry to remove my need or dependence on web merge
to create the web galleries forms from the data i have. What I
wanted to know is there any tools you guys have or can recommend to
get my data from excel (I currently export to csv format) to the
xml format that spry uses.
my excel data looks something like this.
picture | fragrance name | small bottle| medium bottle |
Large bottle| item number
also i use webmerge to populate data for a paypal form. is
there any way to do that on the fly also???
so the paypal code would be : <item name>fragrance name
<price> bottle size<item> Item: number right now i have
that data populating with field names from my csv. it replaces on
running the script. so i have one page which is a template and it
makes the 300 or so other pages from that. Now i know your thinking
um.. no we don't create pages automatically like that. Thats not
what i am trying to do i am trying to eliminate doing all those
pages. ..
I hope my rambling made sense.

o.k, i dont understand xml very well...but i think i am
figuring it out. what i have done is turned my excel file into an
xml file with oxygen xml editor and i am trying to figure out how
to format it correctly so that spry can read it. once i get this
figured out i should be good. i am working with a much smaller file
only 16 records instead of the files i have for my client that
average 300 or so records

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!
#target bridge
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
// create menu
var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Export XML File",
"at the end
of Tools");
menu.onSelect = function(m) {
try {
// ask for the name of the output file
var f = File.saveDialog("Export XML file to:", "XML
File:*.XML");
if ( !f ) { return; }
// open filestream and write first line
f.open("w");
f.writeln("\<photos\>\r\r");
// get a list of all the visible thumbnails in Bridge
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) { var item = items
f.writeln("\<photo path = \"" + item.name + "\"" + "\r" +
"width = " +
"\""+ getWidth(item) + "\"" + "\r" + "height = " + "\""+
getHeight(item)
+ "\"" + "\r" + "rating = " + "\""+ getRating(item) + "\"" +
"\r" +
"categories = " + "\""+ listKeywords(item) + "\"" + "\r" +
"caption = "
+ "\""+ getTitle(item) + "\"" + " \>" + "\r" +
"\<\/photo\>\r\r" ); }
f.writeln("\<\/photos\>");
f.close();
} catch(e) {
function getTitle(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
var varTitle = md.title;
return varTitle;
function getWidth(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varWidth = md.ImageWidth;
return varWidth;
function getHeight(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varHeight = md.ImageLength;
return varHeight;
function getRating(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
var varRating = md.Rating;
return varRating;
function listKeywords(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keywords = md.Keywords;
var varKeywords = "" ;
for ( var i = 0; i < Keywords.length; ++i ) { varKeywords
= varKeywords
+ Keywords + ","; }
return varKeywords;

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML
file
successfully created!"

Editing XML for SPRY Demos

Hello All,
Apologies in advance if this is a topic that has been covered
in the past. I searched through the previous posts, but didn't see
what I was looking for.
I am pretty new to SPRY, but have been able to put together a
few different apps that I think are interesting. These are mostly
based off of the demos I have seen on here such as the products
& photo gallery demos. After completing these though, the first
thing that pops in to my mind is how to build a backend edit tool
that would allow a potential client to edit the underlaying XML
that drives these apps without having to have me perform updates
for them. While looking around online I have seen several possible
solutions, but they all seem to have one problem or another.
What I am wondering is if there is an easy way to set up a
form that will edit/add/delete different entries in the XML files.
I would prefer to use PHP if at all possible. Of all the solutions
I have seen thus far, it seems that they all require me to use
either ASP, .NET, MYSQL or some other database system to extract
data from and create the XML dynamically. This is all well and
good, but I seem to have clients that have lots of different
hosting environments, so all of the above mentioned options seem to
be a bit to specialized for my needs. I'm really thinking that a
PHP solution that edits the XML file directly would be able to
cover more ground.
Is this even possible? Any direction that you could point me
in would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!

Hello,
As Kin said in the above post, if you are using HTML data
sets InContexEditing would be great service to use.
But what if you don't.. I doesn't mean it cannot be done with
XML and databases. While i was Adobe MAX 2008 milano I spend my
spare time building an example that allows users easy CRUD with
Spry. You can also purchase a system but why do so if you already
have all tools you need :)
http://www.spry-it.com/examples/crud/
Its very early stage of this example but I got all basic
actions covered.
Inline edit that posts the changed data to a server file. And
places the returned server value inside your data set and updates
the data set. (updating the data set is not necessary but i just
added it to show that the data is actually updated inside the data
set to)
You can also delete rows and duplicate rows. I did not tie a
server side action to those yet. But it would be easy to do as I
did with inline Editing function. I fully commented the
SpryFullCRUD.js so it might help you out..
If you don't understand it feel free to ask questions, and I
hope it helps you out a bit. I will be writing a large article
about this and hope this example give you some inspiration.

Using external xml for spry menu help

Just started playing with DW CS3, I would like to know how to

SQL to XML to Spry Table not working

I have created a table that uses PHP to pull mySQL data... it
works fine.
But if I copy the SQL statement into another php file, then
use the "Export to XML" function in order to use that XML file as a
Spry dataset, so that I can sort my columns, I receive an error
while creating the dataset.
The problem is in the WHERE statement in the SQL. The code is
attached... But here it is as well
WHERE subtbltripparticipants.tripid = '$_GET[trip_id]'
It's the $_GET that is freaking it out. This code is supposed
to pull the variable from the URL. It works in a regular recordset
in DW, but not in a recordset that is exported to XML. Is there a
different syntax to use? How can I get the variable that is sent
via URL to be used in the Spry dataset as a filter?
When I created the dataset, and choose the php file with the
SQL in it as the "XML Source", I get "Expected comment or
processing instruction(2,1) in the "Row Element" section, where the
nodes should show up. I don't understand this error and don't
understand why the SQL works in a standard table, but not in an XML
export for Spry.
Please advise. Thanks,
Bubba

Ok,
I tried that and it basically bring you to OLI7BW as suggested above.
1. At this point, how do you know which of these it is actually filling:
2LIS_11_VAHDR Sales Document Header Data
2LIS_11_VAITM Sales Document Item Data
2LIS_11_VAKON Sales Document Condition
2LIS_11_VASCL Sales Document Schedule Line
2LIS_11_VASTH Sales Document Header Status
2LIS_11_VASTI Sales Document Item Status
2LIS_11_V_ITM Sales-Shipping Allocation Item Data
2LIS_11_V_SCL Sales-Shipping Allocation Schedule Line
2LIS_11_V_SSL Sales Document Order Delivery
2. Also, what does it mean when after running OLI7BW wide, with no restriction on my system, still rsa3 shows no records for 2LIS_11_V_SCL?
Any other way to confirm that there may not be any data in 2LIS_11_V_SCL?
Or any way, to make an entry which reflect in 2LIS_11_V_SCL so that I can verify if OLI7BW actually fills the setup table?
Thanks

Data structure / procedure for spry / mobile device

hi all
I'm building a cms which would pull information from a
database. I am looking at displaying the info using spry for some
of the pages. The tutorial for spry uses an XML file. Also I would
like to make info available for mobile devises and so on. I will
also need to update records from a web page.
Obviously I need a database but how is this structured? and
could someone tell me what steps I need to take to make the above
possible.
Thanks

I use my cell phone and a hotspot data plan. Check with your cell provider. My Sprint Plan is unlimited. I also use a 4G dongle from Clear. I believe ISPs like Comcast also have mobile Internet plans using a dongle and 3G/4G plan.
You can use a mifi, cell phone, 3G or 4G cell data plan dongle.

AR: Journal Entries Report Convert to Excel using XML

Hi All,
The Client ask to add a column and change the output format to Excel (using XML Publish) to the standard report " AR: Journal Entries Report" whish is Spawned ..
i know the Report calls other report called "Journal Entries Report - Output" using some parameters one of them is "P_LAYOUT_DESCRIPTION" which may be 1 of these values
Print Detail By Account , Print Detail By Category , Print Summary By Account , Print Summary By Category
and each one of them has different layout
Now i want to know
1- the ability of adding a column to this report (SPAWNED)
2- The ability of translating the output to EXCEL,PDF,RTF (using XML Publisher)
I Know the steps of how to convert a report to XML using data definition and template, but the spawned program calls the "Journal Entries Report - Output" by specific parameters and doesn't mention the template name that will be used or output type of the template
as if i'll create 4 templates one for each layout how to let the Main report calls the output report giving it the correct template that should be displayed
Best Regards,
Amir

Sure i used it , and i created many templates for it with different layouts ,
But the user needs this report specially :(

Transfering Access and Excel to XML

Dear all,
Does anybody know the classes and APIs used to transfering Access and Excel to XML?
Kevin

There is no single Java API that is built to translate Access and Excel data into XML. However, you can use a simple combination of APIs to accomplish this task. A direct way of doing this is to create ODBC datasources from your Access or Excel sources, use JDBC to connect to and query those datasources. From there you can use the WebRowSet to convert your ResultSet into XML. If you require more control over the formatting of the data, you'll need write something that iterates over the ResultSet data, translating the column names and values into XML. I would recommend using JDOM to build your XML documents. WebRowSet is part of the Rowset API.
Hope this clears things for you.

Import excel generated xml

Hello, i am trying to import to flash an xml file, generated from Excel. I got some tutorials from internet but the format of xml file from excel it's different and i can't manage to access data from it.
if i type trace(xmldata); it shows me the full content of xml file. But how can i acces the correct data if in the xml file it is written:
<Row>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="String">CellName</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Number">CellValue</Data></Cell>....
Thank you !

ss is a namespace. You have to declare all namespaces before instantiating XML:
For example:
var xs:String = '<root xmlns:ss="http://www.example.com/uri/"><Row><Cell><Data ss:Type="String">CellName</Data></Cell>2<Cell><Data ss:Type="Number" another="3">CellValue</Data></Cell></Row></root>';
var ss:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.example.com/uri/");
var xml:XML = new XML(xs);
trace("xml:", xml.Row.Cell.Data.@ss::Type);
You will need to read namespaces that come with Excel generated XML dynamically.
Here is Namspace class documentation:

Failed to retrieve data set for spry

I created a spry data set on a blank html page and had no
problems. However, when I followed the same steps on an existing
website I get a large box in live view saying "Failed to retrieve
data set (ds2) for spry:repeat". I tried to create the spry set
inside a div which was inside a div that was inside a table. Could
nesting be the problem?

Its because you have a JavaScript error on your page.
in your iframe..
var this_week_wed = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../Data/this_week2.xml",
"thisweek/day[name='Wednesday']/items/item"{distinctOnLoad:true});
it needs a , after your "/items/item"
var this_week_wed = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../Data/this_week2.xml",
"thisweek/day[name='Wednesday']/items/item",{distinctOnLoad:true});

Turns out that you need the SP Farm service account to be an admin on the SSAS server as well. That fixed the problem for us.
MS: Please update your documentation :)
