[SOLVED] HELP! XML ...

[WhoAmI]

Show your code.

[SpecT]

function updatePlayed (songName) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    for _, v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) do 
        if ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "name" ) == songName ) then 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( v, "played", xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "played" ) + 1 ) 
        end 
    xmlSaveFile ( file ) 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
    end 
end 

That's in the server-side.

Client side:

song = getSongName ... 
callServerFunction("updatePlayed ",songName) 

I have used the callServerFunction which is in the code.

[WhoAmI]

function updatePlayed (songName) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    if ( not file ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "ERROR" ); 
        return; 
    end 
    for _, v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) do 
        if ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "name" ) == songName ) then 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( v, "played", xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "played" ) + 1 ) 
        end 
    end 
    xmlSaveFile ( file ) 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
end 

Check if in chatbox won't be any error.

Nope ... there is no message.

[WhoAmI]

Copy my code again. I changed it. You can't have this xmlSave/xmlUnload functions inside loop.

The same ... Again errors in the debugscript.

[WhoAmI]

Same errors? Show me your code you have in file again.

[SpecT]

Ops .. my mistake. Didn't save the file.

Okay now there are no errors but actually it doesn't update the played value. It's still 0. The info about the songs.xml shows that it was changed seconds ago but when I check the song the played value is still 0.

Oh GAWD ... seriously It worked ...

Thanks man again for the great help!

[WhoAmI]

No problemo.

[WhoAmI]

Add 'break' line after changing value so it won't loop for other songs.

Like that

function updatePlayed (songName) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    for _, v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) do 
        if ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "name" ) == songName ) then 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute ( v, "played", tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "played" ) ) + 1 ) 
            break; 
        end 
    end 
    xmlSaveFile ( file ) 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
end

end 

Oh okay.

[SpecT]

Oh .. really. That pisses me off.

Now for every song it tells me that it's played 0 times which is wrong. There is problem with the played value .. Tried to fix it with tonumber but didn't help.

[WhoAmI]

Give me code you have.

[SpecT]

Give me code you have.

Client side ?

--on click event 
    local songName = get the song name 
    local length = songList[songName][1] 
    local played = songList[songName][2] 
  
    musicStore.length = length 
    musicStore.played = played 
  
    outputChatBox(""..songName.."|"..played.."") 

It gives me the song name and 0

Load part (client):

songList = { } 
  
function updateSongs ( ) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    for _, v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) do 
        local name, length, played = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "name" ), xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "length" ), tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "played" )) 
        songList[name] = {length, played} 
    end 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
end 
  
function loadSongsInGridlist() 
    updateSongs ( ) 
    for name, v in pairs ( songList ) do 
        table.insert(musicStore.songName,name) 
        table.insert(musicStore.songCache,name) 
    end 
end

So there is an error with loadng the file? You are loading it clientside?

[SpecT]

Ye I load it clientside. When click the button it calls the server to edit the played value. And when click on a song it loads the length and played times.

EDIT:So if it shows 0 then probably something sets it to be 0.

[WhoAmI]

I have no idea when the error can be.

[SpecT]

I have no idea when the error can be.

Is it a problem that that it's used by clientside and serverside?

Maybe I should move the whole load part to serverside and then to send the data to client ... I don't know.

[WhoAmI]

You can try that. That may be causing a problem. Whole file should be opened servisde I guess. Just get 'xmlNodeGetChrildren' serverside, trigger it to client and loop it there.

I'm trying to trigger from serverside to clientside but it tells me that there is no such event .. Tried so much things and again the same

[WhoAmI]

Post your code.

[SpecT]

Clientside:

songList = { } 
  
function loadTable(table) 
    local name, length, played = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( table, "name" ), xmlNodeGetAttribute ( table, "length" ), tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( table, "played" )) 
    songList[name] = {length, played} 
end 
addEvent("onLoadTable",true) 
addEventHandler("onLoadTable",localPlayer,loadTable) 

Serverside:

songList = { } 
  
function updateSongs ( ) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    for _, v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) do 
       triggerClientEvent("onLoadTable",getRootElement(),v) 
    end 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),updateSongs) 

I'm sure that it's wrong but I don't know what.

[WhoAmI]

Serverside scripts are loading much faster than clientside script. You are triggering event which doesn't really exist. Do like that:

s-side

addEvent ( "requestUpdating", true ); 
function updateSongs ( ) 
    local file = xmlLoadFile ( "songs.xml" ) 
    if ( file ) then 
        triggerClientEvent ( source, "onLoadTable", source, xmlNodeGetChildren ( file ) ) 
    end 
    xmlUnloadFile ( file ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "requestUpdating", root, updateSongs ) 

c-side

songList = { } 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        triggerServerEvent ( "requestUpdating", localPlayer ); 
    end 
); 
  
function loadTable ( table ) 
    if ( type ( table ) == "table" ) then 
        for _, v in pairs ( table ) do 
            local name, length, played = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "name" ), xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "length" ), tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v, "played" )) 
            songList[name] = {length, played} 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEvent ( "onLoadTable", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "onLoadTable", root, loadTable )
