The plugin connects a template-text with the JSON-data by using a template engine.
Depending on the JSON-data the template text contains placeholders and syntax-logic to evaluate the JSON.
Feeding the template engines (either JCI or twig) can be done in two ways:
- embedded
[jsoncontentimporter(pro)]TEMPLATE-TEXT[/jsoncontentimporter(pro)] - Template-manager:
The PRO-version comes with a Template-manager: Store the template and some attributes (like url) in one place and use it on different pages or posts.
By using “id=NUMBER_OF_TEMPLATE” as Shortcode-parameter you can call this template from the manager.
JCI PRO Version: Templatemanager
Some WordPress-Installations are converting embedded templates: If so, the HTML in embedded templates might be corrupted.
Way out: Use the Template-manager, there is not WordPress influence on the template.
Example-Code:
[jsoncontentimporterpro url=http://... id=NO parser=twig]
{% for eventitem in event %}
{% if eventitem.evs3|length > 0 %}
{{eventitem.eventname}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
[/jsoncontentimporterpro]
