Drupal: Migrating XML using Migrate

Migrate und Table Wizard(tw) sind fantastische Module, leider ist die Migration von Daten trotzdem häufig ein eher schmerzvoller Prozess.

SysAdmin’s Journey beschreibt den Prozess und den Code für eine Migration von XML Daten nach Drupal. Spannend.

QueryPath: jQuery für PHP

QueryPath klingt wie die Library die ich letzte Woche hätte gebrauchen können:

A PHP jQuery. That was the original goal of QueryPath. This meant creating a library that was:

• Concise: jQuery methods are all short, and the methods are chainable. Both of these features are stables of the QueryPath library.
• Flexible: like jQuery, QueryPath provides many different features and functions in a single place. Even the extensions can be easily subsumed under the core QueryPath object.
• Powerful: One of the strong points of jQuery is that it provides a powerful suite of JavaScript? tools. QueryPath aims to provide that sort of toolset of PHP.

Und auf IBMs developerworks gibt es ein Tutorial zu QueryPath.

jQuery XML Parser

Das jQuery Plugin jParse parst XML Dokumente:

With the jParse jQuery plugin, you can parse XML that is returned from an jQuery Ajax request. jQuery .ajax method does not allow for cross domain Ajax requests, so the XML that you would like to parse must be on the same domain from which you are working. You can pull many types of information from an XML document like the value of an XML node, the value of an attribute of an XML node, or the number of in an XML document.

Web scraping mit PHP und XPath

Juozas Kaziukenas zeigt wie man mit PHP und Xpath HTML Dokumente nach Informationen abgrasen kann.

It turned out, that using Xpath is extremely easy, really. When you master it, you can do everything in seconds. Yes, you need to know how XML works and how to write correct Xpath queries (brief explanation of Xpath syntax is available at W3Schools), but hey - these topics are in 1st year of university.
