Hello,

I've gotten the HTML 5 Data Bindings up and running in Dreamweaver CC 20.1 after several days of troubleshooting with my backend developer, however there is one issue I haven't overcome. I also purchased the Extended Repeater extension along the way to see if it would shed any light on my issue.

My custom public feed: token.dlux.io/getblog/robotolux

In Dreamweaver, I am able to create a custom data source pointing to that URL, and the window shows the folder directory retrieved from the feed, which I can then use to insert repeat regions and bind data etc. However, nothing appears, it is totally blank.

The breakthrough came today when I decided to test the exact same JSON output as a local file instead, and bingo, it works perfectly. So, what I have done, instead of using a local .json file is create a local data source in Data Bindings that points to my URL.

So the code that works looks like this:
{"id": "dluxio", "url": "https://token.dlux.io/getblog/robotolux", "data": "", "dataSourceType": "local", "dataType": "json"}


And the code that doesn't work looks like this:
{"id": "dluxio", "url": "https://token.dlux.io/getblog/robotolux", "dataType": "jsonp"}


The only downside is with it set this way, while I'm building in Dreamweaver I lose the data folder structure in the Data Bindings window which says Error Loading feed... so I am now in a situation where I have to set the data source to Public for doing my bindings and inserting repeat regions, then switch it to Local for previewing and saving.

I'm hoping it's something simple like a flag my backend dev can set, but I'm lookin for any idea of what is causing this behavior. Thank you for any insight you can share, the plugin fills a huge gap in Dreamweaver and I would love to understand how to get it fully working.

Hello Mark,
HTML5 Data Bindings is an old extension which is no longer maintained. It was replaced by DMXzone App Connect 3 years ago.: www.dmxzone.com/go/32763/dmxzone-app-connect/

In order to access public feeds with App Connect, you need the API Data Source extension: www.dmxzone.com/go/33294/app-connect-api-data-source
