Plugin for visual XML editing

    Hi

    I was wondering if anyone know of a plugin that adds a visual editor of an XML file to the Admin Panel, so that a user (preferably with the correct role) can add, change and delete data and then update the XML file by clicking something like “Update XML”?

    Basically, the functionality already exists; if you add a plugin that is only a .php file and an XML, you can then edit the XML from the Edit Plugin section. But I think it would really help the user to have a more graphic overview.

    I’ll gladly take any advice, and if there’s no plugin, I plan to write one myself, but could use a few pointers in the right direction as this would be my first real plugin.

    Cheers and many thanks in advance.

  • Hi Carl-Johan,

    I got exactly the same question. I was wondering if you already found a solution or did you write a plugin?

    Or does someone else knows a way to do this?

    Hi Jarno

    I ended up writing the functionality myself, but I haven’t had time to make it a proper plugin yet. Not sure if or when I will get that either, so if you are in need of that right now I can’t make any promises. All I can say is I figured it out, and it was not that complicated, there is quite a lot written about saving content to XML using a standard form and POST, and then you need to make the other way around work to, displaying the XML content in a clear and understandable way. I know I found a couple of good blog posts but it’s been quite a while now so sorry, I can’t remember them.
