Starting XML Content

During this class, you'll be writing your XML in Eclipse and copying the code into OneStart using the publishing options covered in the previous class.

If you're new to Eclipse, there will be time during the first exercise to get familiar with it.

Portal Element

The <portal> element is the outer tag that contains the XML content.

All of your XML goes within this root element.<portal xmlns="https://onestart.iu.edu"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="https://onestart.iu.edu

More Link attributes

Using the image-button-name attribute, <link> element can also be used to create a button that will dynamically change color determined by the tab the user is on.

<link url="http://mywebapplication.edu" image-button-name="view"/>

You can also put your own image in by using the <image> attribute. Other attributes include specifying size in pixels using image-width and image-height, and image-alt to provide HTML alt functionality.

<variable>

The <variable> element is used to create variables in your xml content that can be used in conditions, permissions, and general displays.

Local variables are declared within one of your content page tags and can only be referenced in that content page, whereas global variables are set outside of a specific content page and can be accessed throughout your XML content.

<permission>

Three different ways to create permissions:

Person – personAttribute; user information from ADS Group – ADS group Role – cachedPermissions; these are complex expressions created by the OneStart team

cache-minutes & cache-type

cache-minutes: how often you want OneStart to fetch the data from your database cache-type: valid values are "user" and "global" If your query is specific to the user logged in use the "user" type, so OneStart will create a new cache for each user who views this page Use global if your query is not unique to each user, therefore all users share the same cache.

Why visible="false"?

By making visible="false", it will not display in your table, but you will have access to it in your URL.

<data-column header="userID" name="userID" visible="false"/>

Data-writes

The data-write tag enables you to use forms to add, update, and delete data from your external databases.

To do so, you must first specify a name for your data-write, a datasource (just as with datasets), and then create your SQL queries.

Retrieve Data to Display in Column

As with <dataset-bind-param> or <link-param>, we can use xpath stored in a variable to retrieve data.

<tree-column-fragment fragment-number="1"

node-type="leaf" url="{1}" title="{2}">

<tree-column-variable position="1"

xpath="/data/rows/row/BKMRK_URL"/>


xpath="/data/rows/row/BKMRK_TITLE"/>

</tree-column-fragment>
