Thanks for the pointer. I'll check it out.

By "updating by AJAX" I mean that the nodes get new data from the XML file which updates avery five minutes and the client get's the updated data through AJAX instead of refreshing the whole page.

For the order you can use javascript to order the nodes using a drag and drop implementation and store this as a cookie.

Here is an example

There is no AJAX involved in ordering as nothing goes back to the server in terms of storage.

Thanks Anoop

Hi all,

In my D7 site I have a list of nodes of a specific content type. I use
the XPath Feeds module to create these nodes from an XML document.
I know I can create a view to display those nodes, but I need to
update
the nodes using AJAX and I'd love to allow the visitor to move
nodes to
the top so the nodes he/she is most interested in stay visible easily.
The rest has to be displayed using the sort order defined in the view.

What is the best way to use AJAX to update the nodes content in a
view?
How can I give the visitor (unregistered user) the ability to move
nodes
to the top?

Thanks for any help.

The XML contains data on the status of people. The nodes, showing the person data, should update without the complete page refreshing.

So the XML Feeds just updates existing nodes. At the moment I still have a problem that the hashing doesn't uniquely identify the existing nodes and new ones are created on every import, but that needs to be sorted. I have a unique indentifier for every node. I just haven't found the way yet to use it to avoid new nodes to be created.

Thanks for the feedback Earnie. I got the updating of the data of the nodes fixed by creating a unique string and setting it as a unique value. The nodes data is updating fine now. From what I read it is not advised to use the XMLnodeID as a Drupal Node ID, so I avoided that route.

I just need to get the updating of the nodes on the client over Ajax running. I have a page with static content (info on and statuses of people), so I'm not sure on how to do the update as there is no feedback from the user.

Use a mapping table for your xml import id to your node nid then do a join on nid=xmlid.
