Re: Template doesn't parse datasource

Ok!

The main issue I'm trying to find a solution for now is when the upcoming number of programs/events to display is not known. For example if displaying the events for today as one playlist event, and the events for tomorrow as another playlist event. That is, if each day requires more fields than can fit on one page.

Displaying the upcoming 10 programs/events for example makes it difficult to group those by day, and we'd have to display the full date for each event, which doesn't look as nice.

Creating the entire playlist xml file from a CMS would of course solve this. But it would require quite a bit of work to built a module to administer all playlist events from a CMS. Ideally we'd like to use DSPlayer+ for most playlist events, but a CMS for dynamic content from a database or RSS feed. But from what I understand it may not be easy to combine these two...

Could there be a way to group playlist events? That is, one group for playlist events that are updated through DSPlayer+ and another group for dynamic content, where the number of events in that playlist group is not known beforehand?
