write XML line by line

[almendro]

Hi everyone, this is my first post. Thanks for this great CMS and the community behind.

(english is not my mother language so, please, forget me for my poor spelling)

I use GIT for versioning my sites and the problem are the XMLs in one big line, so I decide break it tag by tag.

In admin/inc/caching_functions.php, at the end of file after saving the data:

Code:

$xml->asXML($filem);
    
    // PATCH XML line by line
    $tmpXMLfile = file_get_contents($filem);
    $tmpNTC = "###DONT_BREAK_CDADA###";
    
    // insert between the opening TAG and CDATA, and the closing too.
    $tmpXMLfile = str_replace("><![CDATA",">$tmpNTC<![CDATA",$tmpXMLfile);
    $tmpXMLfile = str_replace("]]></","]]>$tmpNTC</",$tmpXMLfile);
    
    // insert new line (linux) between ><
    $tmpXMLfile = str_replace("><",">\n<",$tmpXMLfile);
    
    // clean DONT_BREAK_CDATA and write the file again.
    $tmpXMLfile = str_replace("$tmpNTC","",$tmpXMLfile);
    file_put_contents($filem,$tmpXMLfile);

Now, every change made with de admin panel will write XMLs TAGs separated by lines and can be follow the diffs with GIT or another version control system.

I hope this will be useful to somebody.

Best.
