FreieRadios / frn-app-xml

Create XML for the freie-radios.net app in php.

frn-app-xml.php

Create XML for the freie-radios app. Actual data fetching and massaging is highly specific. Currently implementations exist for using the Drupal-based websites of Radio Dreyckland (rdl.de) and Radio FreeFM (freefm.de).

Installation

composer install

Usage and configuration

./frn-app-xml.php generate:rdl

Options:

--id=ID                 Only include these IDs 
--save-path=SAVE-PATH   Path to save the XML to
-r, --drupal-root       Path to Drupal root 
-l, --drupal-url        Drupal base URL

You can also set these options in .env

RDL_DRUPAL_ROOT=/var/www
RDL_DRUPAL_URL=rdl.de
SAVE_PATH=/var/www/rdl-frn.xml

Extension

See src/Rdl and src/FreeFm for two implementations. Both are Drupal-based. For other PHP based CMS the implementation could look similar (see DrupalAdapterBase.php).

The implementation of each backend is three-fold:

1. Command: Symfony console command. Extend GenreateCommandBase.php and just call createXml, passing an XmlCreator.

2. XmlCreator: A class implementing XmlCreatorInterface. Extend XmlCreatorBase and implement the stub methods, returning a \DOMElement for the different sections of the XML. getBroadcast is called for each broadcast returned from the Adapter and should return a \DOMElement for each.

3. Adapter: Return a list of broadcasts (shows) to be included in the XML. All logic and communication towards a specific backend should happen here.

Copying the existing implementations and changing things where required should be the easiest.

Note that commands are not auto-discovered, but have to be registered with the application in frn-app-xml.php.
