Hi,

I want to build some static XML pages in one directory but only for selective categories. I have the feed up and running in Dynamic mode - all I need is to make Pagebuilder make 10 files in one directory (one file for each category I choose..)

I have set build Directory to /XML_Feeds and the Build Filename to <%Name%>.xml

Questions is - how do I only make is build the category numbers I want..?!?

Cheers
Klaus

You need to use a build condition.

The easiest way is if you have a custom field in your category table that has a special value for the categories that you want to build a page for. Assuming that the special field is called 'build_xml' and that it is set to '1' for those categories that you want to build, the condition can be something like

build_xml = 1

If you don't have a special field, you might be lucky with something like

ID IN \('1','3','5')

but I can't guarantee that this works.

ID IN \(1,2,3)

...will create three scalar references. Is that what you intended?

Hi Yogi,

I have made the custom field in the category - but get the following error when I build:


As Directory I use: xml_feed
as Filename I use: <%name%>.xml

Parent Page: Root
Page type: Category
Page condition: build_xml = Yes

What is wrong?

Ok I got it to build the pages by setting Filename to: <%CategoryID%>.xml as per the manual

But - the problem is I wanted to have the name of the file (or category) to be the name of the file - ie. category_name.xml

Can I use anything else than <%CategoryID%> and <%Full_name%>? (which returns the number of the category as I use foreign chrs mode)

Have a look at the file 'PageBuilder.pm' in admin/Plugins.

Near the top, the variable $PAGEBUILDER_FIELDS is initialized. You can add your own fields to it (should be self-explanatory), e.g. 'Name' for the category name. Make sure, though, that all your category names make sense as filenames.

Yogi, is it possible to condition PageBuilder to Build pages only if they are new? something like the Links SQL build -update option?

thanks Ivan - works :-)
