Introducing the Online XML Editor
November 11, 2010 by: ChristianI have finished another tool: an online editor for xml files. With this editor you can easily import your xml files and edit them without having to worry about proper syntax. Try it and let me know what you think!
When I started writing this editor, I wanted to create something to handle xml files for the global navigation. It quickly turn into something much more complex, and even better, much more flexible. In a next post I will show how you can turn this editor into a specialised editor for Gaia site xml files, for example. By creating so called configuration xml files you can use this xml editor for any of your xml files.
Simple but flexible CMS
I have also implemented a rich text editor. In the final version you will be able to install this editor on your server and turn it into a simple but flexible CMS with individual user management. Easy but effective. More later.
Stay tuned!

great online-xml editor
But i can not edit nodes with clicking on it….it only works if i click on the node and go to menu->window->node/attributes text.
Double-Click?
You only have to open the attributes window once, then leave it open.
oh, k….thx
great tool ! but I can’t seem to use dash ‘-’ in node name.
ex: or
That’s true, because it is not a good practice! Use underscore “_” instead. Read this: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_elements.asp
hi there, i am a total beginner in building websites, so please forgive me if my question sounds very silly.. I would very much appreciate an answer because i’ve been struggling for hours already.
So here i go
i downloaded a joomla 1.7 template, but compatible for 2.5 and installed. It is up and running.
now i want to include a new module position, so after hours i managed to find the templatedetails.xml file – but only the online on (i cannot find the document anywhere in a file). Can i edit the xml file online or do i need to download it, change, save and upload again?
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi
I don’t know much about joomla, but if you know the directory where the xml files are located on the server you can edit and save them directly using the xml editor (see http://www.online-xml-editor.com/documentation.php#cms-setup)
Hope that helps,
Christian
