Thread: Coldfusion Paths and XSLT

Hey I'm using cold-fusion to take a .XML file and mix it with a .XSL file
My code is currently like this -

Code:

<!--- transform.cfm --->
<cfset MyXmlFile = Expandpath("http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/rss.xml")>
<cffile action="READ" variable="xmlInput"  file="#MyXmlFile#">
<cfset MyXmlFile = Expandpath("Stylesheets/celtrss.xsl")>
<cffile action="READ" variable="xslInput" file="#MyXmlFile#">
<cfset xmlOutput = XMLTransform(xmlInput, xslInput)>
<!--- data is output --->
<cfcontent type="text/html" reset="yes">
<cfoutput>#xmloutput#</cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="menu.html">

What does "doesn't work" mean? Do you get an error...?

Without knowing more, it looks like you're using both Expandpath() and CFFILE incorrectly. CFFILE reads files on _your_ local server. To read a url of a remote server you need to use CFHTTP.

Also, ExpandPath() it is intended for use with a relative path on your server. For example, it can convert the shortcut for root "/" to a physical path like "C:\ColdFusion8\wwwrooot"
