Hi,

I have a flash where I want it to read the active page. I want to read the XML containing all page's information, but for that I need to know where it is ketp, so I can link to it. Does anybody know?

Thanks,

That XML-file does not exist.  But there is an XML-file that contains all data regarding the menu structure.

If you add '&savexml=true' to your URL you will get an XML file in /Templates/Navigation in the filemanager.

Hi Sebastian,

This will only create the XML for that page at that particular moment. What I needed was for Flash to read some file/data that would say what the current page name is. Can I get that information anywhere, at any given time, with out having to add somthing to the URL?

Thanks,

The only way of getting the XML data is by doing the '&savexml=true' trick.

But in the controlpanel you could create a scheduled task the runs this command every hour or so.

If you do that on a page with a menu which has the 'Expand all' option enabled you'll get the complete sitestructure in the XML.

If you want the current page name I think it can be done in 2 ways.

1. Locating the Page node which has the attribute 'Active=True'.

This node should have the page name in the MenuText attribute.

2. Locate the PageView attribute which also has the current page name in the MenuText attribute.
