Hello,
I need to know how to create a master presentation for multiple locations that have specific information (Imagery, Menu prices, etc.) all being pulled by xml data. Is there a way that they could simply input a store ID or some form of information that would then dynamically update to that location specific data feed? Right now we are parsing the xml data to rss format is there a way we could do that easier as well?
Assuming that you have control over the web server that provides the xml.
You could customize the xml, based on an argument passed in the http request.
Example:
http://myRemoteServer.com/GetXML?location=123
In the master presentation, you would have a User Variable named StoreNumber, that holds the store number, so User Variables should not reset to default at startup.
In the presentation, the feed URL includes the user variable like so:
http://myRemoteServer.com/GetXML?location=$$StoreNumber$$
Similarly, you could use the player's serial number as a System Variable, which would then make things easier to implement, as you wont need to enter the store number.
Can't find what you're looking for?
