XML Feed Request

Postby Winnipeg » Sun Aug 09, 2009 6:56 pm

Been a while since I've posted, but i had a suggestion for the XML feed. I didn't see it mentioned/suggested yet when I searched the forum so hopefully this is "new".

I saw that Capitals and Leaders can be named now (if you get that issue, and aren't in vacation mode of course), and was wondering if it's possible to have these values put into the XML Feed.

Another suggestion that would be cool would be the daily WA Rankings for the nation, but not as "would be nice" as the first suggestion.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Btw, I really like the new forum layout and integration with the NationStates site. Top Notch.

I was thinking of this the other day.

Fields that hadn't be filled yet (because they hadn't answered the issue) could just be read on the XML Feed as something standard like "Undefined Religion" or "Unibot City".


Added to the big list!

Also, should an admin wander this way, changes made to the new custom fields aren't recorded in national happenings/reports.

It takes an update for it to change in your nation's summary as well, I found.

I was panicking, because I chose the "Mr. Happy Funland" option for the capital and it didn't change it for an update when I edited it in the custom field. The thought "Why did you pick option four you dummy! Noooooo" was going through my head quite frequently.

Sounds good to me! Py should get right on this obviously incomplete new feature.
