Getting data from a xml file.

[arcaneex]

So I have a remove file, it looks something like this:
<name status="exists">
<name32>Daniel</name32>
<name64>Scar</name64>
<reputation>DONATOR,ADMIN,MOD</reputation>
</name>
How how do I get all the data lines and store them in a variable for later use by any plugin or something?

I also have a json link , with the same info if it's any better than xml. Can anyone help?

Thanks! I almost got it to work but I have one question , right now I have this code: http://pastebin.com/RD3fiDHr
Gonna name it repchecker.php and upload it. Now , I want to use the output ( should be those values , more of less: Scammer , Caution ) in a xenforo template using <xen:if> , is it possible?

In which template?

If you are working within a template hook then you can actually render a template with your own params and append that to $contents.

This assumes you are working in a template hook.

It is a custom template that was added by a plugin.

Well you need to find where that template is called in the PHP code so you can add your XML output as a param. Then your data will be available inside of the template. Here is a code example of a template call with params:

I just redownloaded the plugin , and there's nothing besides the XML which creates everything.

What addon? And what template name? I will try to find it in the addon.

Template name: UserRankRibbons
Link to the plugin: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/user-rank-ribbons.33308/

Ok that addon has you manually add the template include to the message_user_info template. I suggest making use of the "message_user_info_avatar" template hook which is directly above where you would add that include. That way you can create your own template_hook listener and call that template with its own params.

To be honest , I have no idea what you just said. You mind telling me the steps and what to put?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Some custom programming is required. Here are some code examples that are relevant:

If you are not a programmer then you should post a request:

So if I understood correctly , I make a new template and include the template hook and my PHP file?I doubt anyone is able to do it for me if I request it , as its personal and can't be released later on.
