    THANK YOU to you and Ryan I now have a much better approach to my problem
  17. einsteinsboi
    This is brilliant Ryan! Thank you so much, can't wait to play with this example and then adapt it to my needs. My vendor's feed comes in XML format so I'll work with that for now and then see if I can't convince them to use JSON. I had thought that using the db was the best approach but I see that this may be even better and more efficient. I will work on this and report back

    Ryan, thank you for your input. This looks promising I've responded to specifics below: My thought was to put the data into the Processwire database but in its own table so that any updates to PW don't interfere with the custom data. Is this what you mean? I like the idea of "piece of cake" Can you explain this a bit more? I'm not quite familiar with bootstrapping PW yet Thanks again, I will play with this code and see what I get So far I've only built really simple sites with PW so I'm pretty excited about doing some more indepth stuff and getting my hands dirty with some PHP and the API Thanks for the welcome Glad you found the tuts useful. I'm already sold on PW I've built a few simple sites with it and understand the basics, but I'm looking to delve deeper now, play with the API and do some more complex stuff.

    Perhaps I didn't explain it well I don't want them to be separate entities, this was just an example. What I have is an XML datafeed from a vendor that I work with. I need each entry from the feed to appear as a page on the site, with selected fields displayed. I then need to add content to those same pages, not altering the feed content but adding fields to the page. The content from the vendor will be updated periodically to the db via a cron job and the contents of the db should then be refreshed on the page, but the custom content I'm adding may or may not change. I also want to use some of the fields in the db for meta data to appear in the head section of the page. Does this make more sense? Thanks for your help

    This is interesting, thanks for the response, but I'm not sure I follow. Maybe I should mention that I would like to add other fields to those pages that contain data from the custom table, I just wouldn't edit anything that comes from the table itself. So for example the table data has name, description, source url, image url, etc, and I want to add a custom field for my own review of the product. So these do need to be individual pages. Thanks Soma. What I intend to use is a custom table within the pw database, I don't want an additional database. Or am I missing something?

    I'm working on a new project and wanting to use Processwire for it, but I'm a bit stuck on how to execute it. Here's the scenario. I intend to create a custom table within my database. This table will be populated and updated automatically via a cron job, so the content doesn't need to be edited within the CMS. Now what I want to do is display the data from this table in my website, reading it directly from the database. These pages will all fall into one broad category and then subcategories based on the data in the table. What I'm wondering is how to instruct processwire to read the content from my custom table and display it as pages, one for each entry. I imagine I would start by creating a template for these pages, and fields corresponding to the table columns that I want to display (I don't need to show all of them). Where do I go from here?? I'm sure it's a simple solution but I can't for the life of me think of how to approach it. thanks
