Project Description:
I need a Wordpress Plugin to import an xml feed and render it on any page I wish do add data to.
The XML feed is remote and queryable, for example
http://mydomain.com/feed.php?num=100&product=11254
That feed will need to be read in with CURL and parsed with an XML wrapper I will provide (easier to use than standard PHP classes)
The way I want this plugin to work is to be able to add tokens to a page or post, for example:
<!--xmlfeed num=100&product=11254 -->
(If this can be done with a custom field in Wordpress I would consider that as an alternative to a hard coded comment / token)
And have the feed data rendered with css in its place.
I also have a requirement for a search page, which will be a page added to Wordpress that can accept POST parameters to query and render the same page, so, the feed will be used in two ways:
I also have a requiredment for a sidebar search block that will have drop down values and a "search" button. the data for these drop down lists will also need to be read in from feeds (remote text files).
I will need an admin console where I can load parameters that can be passed into the feed as additional variables, for example a campaign id:
<!--xmlfeed num=100&product=11254&campaign=testcampaign -->
I will need parameters in the same admin console to configure the sidebar search block values.
1) Render feed in pages by embedding token: <!--xmlfeed .... -->
2) Render feed by POST to "mydomain.com/search-feed"
3) Configurable sideblock using drop down lists, configurable in admin console. This sideblock will perform the POST to search-feed (in point 2 above)
The only starting point I can offer is this plugin which pulls in RSS feeds and uses tokens in posts:

That plugin is a little different as it pulls in RSS, but the principle is very similar.
Please give details of any previous work you have done with Wordpress, your PHP and XML experience.
