    • Forms that access external sites; display results in TikiWiki

    Posted by edk posts: 7

    I'd like add some pages to my Tiki instance that include forms.

    I'd like to build Tiki functionality that reads the form, queries a remote data source (via XML-RPC, perhaps) displays the results in a Tiki page. The remote data source is not a SQL database.

    I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Is there a framework or some docs for this? Can someone provide a pointer?

    Thx.

    Hi There

    Our docs are the code themselves.

    The SQL plugin can handle any ODBC datasource, so that covers any kind of datafile, CSV, TXT, Access, Excel etc.

    Should be easy enough to do, but you'll need to make it based on the Tiki Feature Developer Docs which are somewhere here on tikiwiki.org inbetween the mess.
