Hi Rich,

I have just tried to load in the RSS using GetXmlDocumentByUrl and it works fine.  However I did a simple quick-n-dirty output:

<xmp>
    <xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlDocumentByUrl('http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/mens-ranking-list/mens-ranking.xml')" />
</xmp>

I'm thinking that the problem is with the default namespace (xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/rss2") ... which you'll need to declare in your XSLT - you can give it whatever prefix you like.

<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    xmlns:rss2="http://backend.userland.com/rss2"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library rss2">

Then you'll need to reference the XML with the namespace prefix.  i.e. <xsl:value-of select="rss2:title" />

I can show more examples if you need?

Cheers, Lee.

Hey Lee,

Thanks for looking into it, you're right, the feed does read in however I cannot iterate through the items

<xsl:if test="count($feedContent) &gt; 0">
    <xsl:for-each select="$feedContent//item">

        Never gets here

    </xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if>

Which I assumed was due to the namespace, how would I iterate through the loop using your example?

Many thanks

Rich

Hi Rich,

Because the RSS has a namespace associated with it at root level, all references to the XML elements will need to reference that namespace. So if you've declared the namespace (as I posted earlier), you'll need to do this...

<xsl:if test="count($feedContent) &gt; 0">
        <xsl:for-each select="$feedContent//rss2:item">

                Never gets here

        </xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if>

Literally prefixing all the elements you need with "rss2:"

Cheers, Lee.

Lee, you're a genius!

So was the namespace thing a red herring?

The only issue now is trying to read the following value:

<ttrRiderRanking:name>rider name</ttrRiderRanking:name>

As the following causes an error

<xsl:value-of select="rss2:ttrRiderRanking:name"/>

Cheers

Rich

Cheers Lee, you're a star.

I've a very similar issue when trying to parse a feed containing a specific namespace.  obs

I've added the namespace in the XSLT and the feed works fine for standard namespace elements such as title and pubdate but as soon as I try to access obs:moredetail I get absolutely nothing.

I've spent a good few hours on this and I'm tearing my hair out.

I can even dump the full XML to a textarea and see the feed but can not access the obs namespace items 

Any thoughts?

Typical.  As soon as I post on here I figured it out.  The namespace urn was incorrect.  I took it from the docs though which were wrong!

is working on a reply...
