Page History

With ConfiDoc you can easily show the data from XML, JSON, CSV, RSS and SQL sources using the same approach an methods.In this tutorial we will show you how you can present the XML data (stored as page attachment) to  your end users

The structure of the XML is as follows:

<users>
	<user>
		<name>Sam Smith</name>
		<email>ss@domain.com</email>
	</user>
	<user>
		<name>John Doe</name>
		<email>jd@domain.com</email>
	</user>
</users>

We will show the data in a Table (using TableView macro) and then as a bulleted list (using ListView macro)

1. Showing as Table
   
   

   Will add a TableView macro

   A choose the attachment to be used as source:

   We also specify a root element to use, so our "user" nodes will be used as an array of nodes

   
   Then we add 2 fields

   Referencing Fields: name and email

   End result (Live view using ConfiDoc TableView)

   ConfiDoc TableView Macro
   root users.user values 7045256:7045257 serviceId 3ef0b857-984b-4180-82ce-55a15265a88c
   nameName emailEmail

2. Showing the same dataset as bulleted list using ListView macro

   Image Added
   We also set the root element to be "users.user" in the ListView

   And the final config looks like:

   End result (Live view using ConfiDoc ListView macro)

   ConfiDoc ListView Macro
   root users.user values 7045256:7045257 serviceId 3ef0b857-984b-4180-82ce-55a15265a88c
   - nameName emailEmail

   
   Here you have learnt how easy it is to show the data with ConfiDoc. There are more macros to show the data at your service: PlainView and CardView. Using those macros is very similar to what you have seen in this tutorial. With one exception - PlainView operates on raw data and expects you to use [entry.FIELD_NAME] notation to reference fields values

   Info
   You can show the data from files attached to other pages, as long as the user has an access to the page where the attachment is stored
