Hi,

there's a big static part in the xml i want to output, can i do this in a "RHTML" way?

i tried to copy the static part and paste into the RXML template, but it didn't work.

i tried to to do this inside my XMLController

   1. def photos    2. @photos = Photo.find(:all, :limit => 3, :order => 'rand()')    3. render :template=>"photos.xml"    4. end

but it won't work either. do i have to write the static part using the normal "xml." way?

thank you.

No you can write static content in your RXML file, just don't write it as XML write it as RXML...

So you can do this:

  for blah in @blahs       xml.url do         xml.loc(blah_profile_url(blah))         xml.changefreq 'daily'         xml.lastmod((blah.updated_at).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))         xml.priority'0.8'       end   end

  #Static content pages   xml.url {     xml.loc('http://www.blah.com/about/blah’)     xml.changefreq('monthly')     xml.priority('0.3')   }   xml.url {     xml.loc('http://www.blah.com/about/blahblah’)     xml.changefreq('monthly')     xml.priority('0.3')   }

But you can do this: for blah in @blahs       xml.url do         xml.loc(blah_profile_url(blah))         xml.changefreq 'daily'         xml.lastmod((blah.updated_at).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))         xml.priority'0.8'       end   end   <url>     <loc>http://www.blah.com/about/blah&lt;/loc&gt;     <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>     <priority>0.3</priority>   </url>   <url>     <loc>http://www.blah.com/about/blah&lt;/loc&gt;     <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>     <priority>0.3</priority>   </url>

hope this helps, Cam
