Prior to Version 3.0.0 and in the free Version the JSON Content Importer-Plugin is based on the proprietary “JCI-parser” with some great features. This is good and still available.
But: In some cases this parser / template-engine had limits. Therefore now you can use the popular Twig-engine with this plugin.
The usage is as following:
Example-Shortcode:
[jsoncontentimporterpro url=http://... parser=twig]
{% for eventitem in event %}
{% if eventitem.evs3|length > 0 %}
{{eventitem.eventname}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
[/jsoncontentimporterpro]
twig-Extensions:
- Extension 1: Sort JSON by “sortbyjsonfield”
- Extension 2: By “dateformat” you can set timezone and language / locale of time- and date-output. See example here.
- Usage of twig for JSON starting with “[{“: See twig and it’s _context
