ParseX Child Child Node

Hey,

I have some XML which is formatted like this

<property>
  <id>20</id>
  <address>
    <propertyname>Almond Tree Cottage</propertyname>
    <street>Long Wittenham Road</street>
    <locality/>
    <town>Didcot</town>
  </address>
</property>

I have the item value set as `property` and can access direct childNode i.e. [[+id]], [[+addeddate]] but can't access children of those nodes.

I can see them in the debug output as objects

["address"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#91 (12) { ["propertyname"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#96 (0) { } ["street"]=> string(19) "81 Wallingford Road" ["locality"]=> string(7) "Cholsey" ["town"]=> string(11) "Wallingford" ["region"]=> string(11) "Oxfordshire" ["postcode"]=> string(8) "OX10 9LB" ["countrycode"]=> string(3) "826" ["housenumber"]=> string(2) "81" ["streetname"]=> string(16) "Wallingford Road" ["latitude"]=> string(8) "51.57853" ["longitude"]=> string(8) "-1.14798" ["area"]=> string(7) "Cholsey" }

Would anyone know how to do this? I'm guessing I need another loop within parseX

Thanks

Old post but yes you can embed another parsex call into your tpl ie:

For example
```
[[parsex? &source=`myfile.xml` &tpl=`xmlTpl` &debugmode=`true` &limit=`0` &element=`property`]]
```
xmlTpl
```
[[+id]]
[[parsex? &source=`myfile.xml` &tpl=`xmlTpl2` &debugmode=`true` &limit=`0` &element=`address`]]
```
xmlTpl2
```
[[+street]]
```
