Any thoughts on how to get that second link to show up? I would prefer that as the source as the data shown on the XML is dynamic and I would hate to have to keep on exporting the data to Excel and re-uploading a new file every time a change was made.
When I try to create a table from the second link I get this error ( attachment)
So the issue is in the file format.
If you take a look at our documentation you will see this notice
When working with XML format please note: at the moment wpDataTables accepts this and only this format of XML (see example): a single root node with a number of child nodes (one level), where each child node will be treated as row, and child row attributes as cells. If your software does not return this format you would need to prepare e.g. some PHP adapter to return one of the formats that wpDataTables would accept.
I have a WPDataTable showing content from an Excel file I uploaded to my server. See here: https://www.ddschools.org/policies-table/
That Excel file was created from XML data available at a different link. See here: https://www.boarddocs.com/wi/deldar/Board.nsf/XML-ActivePolicies
When I try to use that second link as the source of the data to display in table shown on the first link, I get an error. Specifically, it says "Provided file https://www.boarddocs.com/wi/deldar/Board.nsf/XML-ActivePolicies does not exist!"
Any thoughts on how to get that second link to show up? I would prefer that as the source as the data shown on the XML is dynamic and I would hate to have to keep on exporting the data to Excel and re-uploading a new file every time a change was made.
Please advise.
Thanks
