Hi Colin,
my co-worker in Costa Rica spotted that you had released the XML module. Congratulations and a big huzzah from the xml user community.

I hope that some docs will be forthcoming soon. I spent today working through the Walk_Through text file.

I am trying to use the parameter options for an external XML file and can not get it to work for me:

my external xml file / feed responds to parameters:
http://server.domain.org/lgic/profile-open?code=zaw

I set the QueryString Parameters to:
Name Required Data Origin 
   Code    Pass-Through QueryString (zaw) 
(hardcoded a parameter for now,
but I am not sure how I am supposed to pass the passthrough parameter to the xml URL. I tried using the Parameter name on the XML URL line: ?code  but no joy

if I do not set parameters and  just embed the parameter directly on the xml URL,  call it works.
/lgic/profile-open?code=zaw

see it working at: http://dnn.wbtdev.net/Home/XMLTest/tabid/58/Default.aspx

the XSL parameters work for me; I'm not clear yet on how they get passed to the XSL file, but that will come.

thanks for your help and for all your work on this updated module,

tomvw

Well, all query string parameters are added to the query string, and the value of these parameters can be of different origin.

You added a parameter which passes through the value of the query string parameter zaw from the DotnetNuke site to the querystring parameter code. Your setup is working as expected (at least for me), you can test it via http://dnn.wbtdev.net/Home/XMLTest/tabid/58/Default.aspx?zaw=zaw

I think you don't want to pass through a query string. Change the data origin to static value, and it will work as you desire.

forms & Lists (UDT5.0) will be the next major release of the User Defined Table project.
A first Preview is available, though it requires DotnetNuke 5 (Beta 5).

tvanwynen wrote so, entering http://dnn.wbtdev.net/Home/XMLTest/tabid/58/Default.aspx?code=zaw needs to be passed on to the xml module and used as a parameter in the XML request http://machine.mysite.org/xmlfeed/language?code=zaw so what do I need to do to get that to happen?

Add a Parameter named code, data origin Passthrough QueryString, additional argument code.

The name of the querystring of the xml source and the name querystring of your dnn page doesn't need to be the same, so that is why you need to enter code twice.
