[image: image.png] As you can see I cannot create any actions or functions. The problem is definitely not that their names are not the same cause there is not a single one to have the same name with, as i cannot create a single function.

Hello!

As chuggmuffinReturns mentioned, to save an action correctly, you need to set a name for the action in the title field. It looks like the images you shared in your follow-up comments aren’t visible—this may be due to replying via email. Could you please upload the images directly here on GitHub? Alternatively, a short screen recording (e.g., using Loom) showing the issue would be very helpful. A brief clip will work; just a quick walkthrough of the steps you’re taking.

Thank you!

P.S: Here is the documentation with a lot of videos on how to do it properly: https://docs.flutterflow.io/concepts/custom-code/

[LoginPanel07]

Here is the picture, as you can see they are the same name

[Alezanello]

In this case, you need to add the Arguments (the string you expect to receive) and the Return Value.

[Alezanello]

Please do not set this as a Function but as an Action

[LoginPanel07]

Yeah sorry, i did it like that first, but i thought i was doing it wrong. As you can see on the picture, It is not saved, even though i clicked on save and confirmed it. It says i saved it, but as you can see on the left there are still 0 custom actions, and when i click away from there the code doesn't disappear, but it says it's an unsaved code that it restored.(all i need is the series list, and i set a return for it at the end, as well as there is an Argument (String xmlData))

[LoginPanel07]

Oh, im sorry, i didn't see the sidebar with the define arguments and return value. I'm guessing i should have set those up too, and that's what you are saying?

[LoginPanel07]

I set them up, and saved, however the same problem still persists:

[LoginPanel07]

Can you create the custom action with the following action, save it and have it stay? Here is the code:

import '/flutter_flow/flutter_flow_theme.dart';
import '/flutter_flow/flutter_flow_util.dart';
import '/custom_code/actions/index.dart'; // Imports other custom actions
import '/flutter_flow/custom_functions.dart'; // Imports custom functions
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:xml/xml.dart' as xml;

List<Map<String, dynamic>> parseSitemapXML(String xmlData) {
  final document = xml.parse(xmlData);
  final urls = document.findAllElements('loc');
  final List<Map<String, dynamic>> seriesList = [];

  for (var url in urls) {
    final pageUrl = url.text;
    if (pageUrl.contains('chapter')) {
      final trimmedUrl = pageUrl
          .replaceAll('https://spiderscans.xyz/', '')
          .replaceAll('/', '');
      final parts = trimmedUrl.split('-');

      final chapterNumber = parts.removeLast();
      final seriesName =
          parts.join(' ').replaceAll('-', ' ').replaceAll('Chapter', '').trim();
      seriesList.add({
        'name': seriesName,
        'chapter': chapterNumber,
        'url': pageUrl,
      });
    }
  }
  return seriesList;
}

@LoginPanel07 I think the problem is in your return type not being a custom data type.

Get ChatGPT to walk you through it... I started here a bit but didnt get to the end but may offer some hints

[LoginPanel07]

Thank you very much for your help, i was finally able to save(and ChatGPT fixed my code after trying to use the map type 4 times again XD), however i found some problems. The first is that it won't let me choose the custom data type, and instead automatically changes to json when saving(not sure if it's a problem and interferes with the program or not, i have created the the custom data type properly though, 3 strings with list attributes), the other problem is that it does not recognize the xml import, the third is that it just randomly out of the blue(it didn't have any troubles with it checking it multiple times), it does not recognize parse. Once again im very thankful for your help Bryan. Code(if needed):

// Automatic FlutterFlow imports
import '/backend/schema/structs/index.dart';
import '/flutter_flow/flutter_flow_theme.dart';
import '/flutter_flow/flutter_flow_util.dart';
import '/custom_code/actions/index.dart'; // Imports other custom actions
import '/flutter_flow/custom_functions.dart'; // Imports custom functions
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
// Begin custom action code
// DO NOT REMOVE OR MODIFY THE CODE ABOVE!

import 'package:xml/xml.dart' as xml;

List parseSeriesNames(String xmlData) {
  final document = xml.parse(xmlData);
  final urls = document.findAllElements('loc');

  final List names = [];
  final List chapters = [];
  final List links = [];

  final baseUrl = "https://spiderscans.xyz/";

  for (var url in urls) {
    final pageUrl = url.text;

    if (pageUrl.contains('chapter')) {
      final trimmedUrl = pageUrl.replaceAll(baseUrl, "").replaceAll('/', '');
      final parts = trimmedUrl.split('-');

      final chapterNumber = parts.removeLast();
      final seriesName = parts.join(' ').replaceAll('-', ' ').replaceAll('Chapter', '').trim();

      names.add(seriesName);
      chapters.add(chapterNumber);
      links.add(pageUrl);
    }
  }
  return [names, links, chapters];
}
