Hi,

For output see:
See example in this topic:
http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/ez_xml_to_html/re_ez_xml_to_html__1

for input data use 

include_once ('lib/ezutils/classes/ezfunctionhandler.php');

$node = eZFunctionHandler::execute( 'content','node', array( 'node_id' => 2) );
$object =& $node->object();

foreach( $object->contentObjectAttributes() as $contentObjectAttribute )
{
    include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezsimplifiedxmlinput.php' );
    include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezsimplifiedxmlinputparser.php' );
    include_once( 'kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/ezxmltexttype.php' );
    
    $XMLContent = "<section><paragraph>text</paragraph></section>";

    $parser = new eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser( $object->attribute( 'id' ) );
    $parser->setParseLineBreaks( true );

    $document = $parser->process( $XMLContent );

    $xmlString = eZXMLTextType::domString( $document );

    if ( $contentObjectAttribute->attribute( 'data_type_string' ) == 'ezxmltext' )
    {
        $contentObjectAttribute->setAttribute( 'data_text', $xmlString );
        $contentObjectAttribute->store();
    }
}

Thank you a lot for your help.
A couple of questions:
1) $node = eZFunctionHandler::execute( 'content','node', array( 'node_id' => 2)
Should I put "my_object_node_id" node id here? Is correct?

2)$XMLContent = "<section><paragraph>text</paragraph></section>";
Should I put "my_text_string" content instead of text here? Is correct?

thanks again.

So...
I ask you another thing: What exactly is a Dom document (or a DOMstring in the text above)?

Content in ezxmltext datatype is stored as XML structure, base on parser output eZXMLTextType::domString() creates XML structure which you can store in attribute.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<section xmlns:image="http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/image/"
         xmlns:xhtml="http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/xhtml/"
         xmlns:custom="http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/custom/">
  <paragraph>some text
    <strong>this is bold text</strong> some text
    <emphasize>some text</emphasize>
  </paragraph>
</section>

Hi,

I'm using your solutio to insert text like this into an ezxmltext attribute :

Da sbarracà i palazzi   <br />
                   MI min / LA min<br />
E da spenticà limperi <br />
                    SI 7 / MI min<br />
Venutu da i to stazzi <br />
                       FA / MI min<br />
Cù i to cavalli fieri   <br />
                       SI 7 / MI min<br />
<br />
Attila si scalatu<br />
Cù u ferr è cù u focu<br />
Vecu e greghje infuriate<br />
Ad apparinà u locu<br />

The problem is that special characters like à,ù, etc. make fail the insertion. Replacing them by &agrave; is ok but the accent is not interpreted when rendering...

Maybe a problem with the encoding of the xml text generated by the parser no ?

Salut,

You have to convert you text to the charset you use to make it work (I think there is an option to have several charsets, but I'd rather don't use it).

Say your site is in utf8 and your external xhtml in latin1 you have to utf8 encodes it.

Welcome to the jungle...

Hi Xavier,

After a lot of mistake I finally success with my script who import a joomla structure (section>category>content_item) to the ezpublish tree.

So for my charset problem, solution I found was to set the mysql transaction in utf-8 by a 

mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");

before making the query, and use this (found into ezpedia.org) :

        // $introtext is a joomla content text (jos_content table)
	$XMLContent = $introtext;
	//$cli->output($introtext);
	$parser = new eZSimplifiedXMLInputParser( $object->attribute( 'id' ) );
	$parser->setParseLineBreaks( false );
	 
	$document = $parser->process( $XMLContent );
	 
	// Create XML structure
	$xmlString = eZXMLTextType::domString( $document );

Thanks for your help ;-)
