We are currently developing a mobile app for a client. Part of the app functionality is a location search. In order to keep the list of locations and their info up to date in the app we wanted a mechanism for the app to read the information that is already contained in Flexicontent category and items.
So, we thought it would be interesting if I could just point to the category URL and get a JSON or JSONP response that nicely exported the some parameters of the category, and each item.
With this Flexicontent template, and the Joomla raw.php template we were able to achieve that as described in previous posts.
Hello, I have to deliver custom XML output for categories for an existing mobile app as well. I followed this example, but can't get it together.
Is the syntax still valid like this for FC 2.2.0 r1932 ?
Cheers
ETA:
When I remove
Code:
<?php
ob_start();
// Form for (a) Text search, Field Filters, Alpha-Index, Items Total Statistics, Selectors(e.g. per page, orderby)
// If customizing via CSS rules or JS scripts is not enough, then please copy the following file here to customize the HTML too
include(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'tmpl_common'.DS.'listings_filter_form.php');
$filter_form_html = trim(ob_get_contents());
ob_end_clean();
if ( $filter_form_html ) {
echo '<div class="group">'."\n".$filter_form_html."\n".'</div>';
}
?>
In category_items.php I get a blank page in return.
