Custom Text Data sources 8 Years, 10 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi!
A reason why I bought this extensions is to be able to show any data from my database in modules, it work fine for most modules but I can't figure how to use Tabs and Slider for DB tables others than Articles (Joomla and K2). Is there something I'm missing? Is it possible to set new Text Data sources simply or do I have to code a custom Text Data source by my own? As example, I'd like to show Kunena posts with a custom MySQL query, I can get it to work with datatables but I don't want to list them as a table...

I will examine closely how it work and I guess I will figure a way to create different layout for the DataTables query results OR I will figure how to add different data sources for the Text Data. I was just wondering if I'm missing something that would allow me to list Kunena posts like articles work with tabs, sliders and accordions.

Any help would be appreciated!

P.S. I really like this extensions and I see a lot of use for future needs.

Hello,

It is possible to use "ARI Smart Content - Accordion" or "ARI Smart Content - Tabs" plugin to show data from a database as accordion (tabs). For example you can create a data source based on the following SQL query:

Code:


SELECT
 title,
 introtext
FROM
 #__content
LIMIT 0,10



and e.g. it has ID equals to 17 then you can use the following plugin code for "ARI Smart Content - Accordion" plugin:

Code:


{accordion source="17" titleTemplate="{$title}" itemTemplate="{$introtext}"}{/accordion}



Regards,
ARI Soft

Well, I have another small problem which is not really related to the Smart Content extensions but maybe you can help. How I can deal with the BB Code included in Kunena posts? I will do some research but maybe you can point me to a solution quickly
