        @KirAsh4 I’ve isolated the issue as a Cross-Domain Access issue. Do you know of any particular way to make XMLHTTPRequests to external domains?

        I wasn’t aware this would be an issue but apparently anybody who wants to use this and map to an external domain will have this issue unless they have a running PHP server that can store the XML results locally (or if they can access a server, they can add the line Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to their HTML headers.

        Any ideas?

          XMLHTTPRequest. Look at how the 'currentweather' module does it in the 'updateWeather()' function.

          A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

            Yeah that’s what I based my original request functionality on. The OpenWeather API response is CORS compatible due to the response header - this is why the example response works well. Outside of this domain though (say on http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml (or any other external server). This unfortunately makes problems - I’m still looking for a work-around.

                      I’m using that code in php

                      $xml = simplexml_load_file('XML/status1.xml');
                      echo "<br>--------------<br>XML parsing <br>--------------<br>";
                      $result = array();
                      
                      foreach($xml->children() as $child){
                      $result[$child->getName()] = trim($child);

                        have a look in here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/240/soccer-standings i had also problems with cors so i used the request module in my node_helper to fix it

                        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                            Thanks @strawberry-3-141 - I’ll take a look and see if there are any changes I can make.

                                  Does that module actually require an 'npm install' to be run? Don’t blindly run commands that you don’t know are actually necessary. You need to ask the author of that module how to properly install it, what the steps are, what’s needed, etc., etc. I know nothing of that module.

                                  Edited to add: running an 'npm install' is generally only required if the specific module needs any additional node dependencies installed. However, the author would make this known. If it doesn’t say that anywhere, do not assume you have to do it yourself. You may end up causing more harm to your installation than good.

                                    I’ve updated the ReadMe appropriately for this module, and this is available on the github page.

                                    There are a few outstanding issues I need to address such as the calls to external domains (and a few other underlying issues), but I’m in the USA until the 6th of August and I won’t have time to address those issues until I return home.

                                    Once the module is copied to the Modules folder, and the relevant config changes have been made, you shouldn’t need to “npm install” anything. You should simply be able to launch the MM software. No installations should be necessary. Be sure to read the Readme carefully, but if you can be more specific about the steps you have taken I can help you further.

                                      Sorry. Wasn’t clear. I’m having this same issue with another module.

                                      Am I correct that your http module isn’t working correctly yet?

                                      Been trying to get it to work. Should solve a lot of my module needs. Home automation statuses and data from import.io.

                                      Can’t wait 😃

                                      Enjoy the holiday.

                                        There appears to be a cross domain issue with the module. I’m currently travelling and I’m going to make it a top priority when I return to repair it. In addition, I have a very cool module upcoming :)

                                        I’ll get the fix done as soon as I can guys. Sorry for the wait.

                                        In the meantime if you have access to the server side clients of your request, please look into making requests accepted from any source as a temporary fix.

                                          Could you please post a SMALL example xml file?
                                          (Along with what I SHOULD see?)
                                          Everything I have tried
                                          (local xml file / file on NAS in local network / file from api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=2172797&APPID=**** )

                                          first gives me “Awaiting Results” and then “No Results” or “Failed Request”

                                          When I pull the stuff in my browser, I get the files. I’m banging into a wall here…

                                          Best would be if I could just pull a file from my local NAS. Once I have the correct format, I can write them all day long (live in SQL world)

                                          Thanks

                                            He’s currently away. I think there’s a known issue he’s gonna fix when he gets home.

                                            I’ve also tried everything you have. Works in browser but not with module.

                                            Not too long to wait hopefully.
