You'll need to create a script (php, etc) on your server where the database is held to read the data and convert it to Json. Comments Definitely possible.

It depends on what data you're trying to access and how you want it to be displayed. Likely you'll want a menu plugin. You'll want to pay attention to how the plugin is using Json so you can format your data accordingly. Comments Any of them. All plugins use Json for their configuration.

But you would use the dataURL property to point to your website. If you look at the readme for the menu simple plugin, you'll see an example of what the script output should look like for that plugin.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	02/24/14 08:49 AM (10 years ago) Nope - on the control panel. There's a property called dataURL that takes a URL as the value. The source code in XCode is already setup to handle it. If you're using a plugin that doesn't have that property on the control panel then yes, you would need to do some code manipulation. I think all menu plugins have the property though. Comments Nope - on the control panel. There's a property called dataURL that takes a URL as the value.
