Save page data to an xml file

3 comments

1. The save_post hook gets called each time a post is created or updated. Just hook into that. There you can do something like fputcsv('/tmp/' . $post_id, $post) or output to XML/JSON.

   == EDIT ==

   add_action( 'save_post', 'wp239s5_post_to_xml', 10, 2 );
   function wp239s5_post_to_xml( $post_id, $post ) {
       if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE )
                       return $post_id;
   
       //convert $post to xml here 
   }

2. Yes it is possible, I would recommend looking at PHP’s SimpleXML functions or XMLWriter, and then hook it into save_post.

3. I recently made a site map that would save my post to the xml file, change the fields around for what you want to put in them but this most likely will solve your problem.

   the functions you want to look into is

    $fp = fopen(ABSPATH . "sitemap.xml", 'w');
         fwrite($fp, $sitemap);
         fclose($fp);
   

   heres where the fun begins

   add_action("publish_post", "eg_create_sitemap");
   add_action("publish_page", "eg_create_sitemap");
   
   function eg_create_sitemap() {
     $postsForSitemap = get_posts(array(
       'numberposts' => -1,
       'orderby' => 'modified',
       'post_type'  => array('post'),
       'order'    => 'ASC',
       'post_status'  => 'publish'
     ));
   
     $sitemap = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'."n";
     $sitemap .= '<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1">'."n";
     /*$sitemap .= '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://sitehere.com/sitemap.xsl"?>'."n";*/
   
     foreach($postsForSitemap as $post) 
     {
               setup_postdata($post);
   
               $post_id = $post->ID;
               $postdat = $post->post_date;
