Is it possible, and if so, can anyone help me to get data on a page,… by retrieving it from an Oracle database ?
So Xibo is installed with php/mysql,…
But besides Xibo i have an Oracle database I would like to use some data from …
What do i need to do to achieve this ??
What do you want to do with that data? Have it displayed on a player? Or are you thinking of adding some pages to the Xibo CMS admin?
using the data to show dynamic data (like birthdays) in a player…
I also use Wordpress for messages in a newspage,…
and I was wondering If I could use xibo / php or so to use as an embedded frame,… to show data from an oracle table…
You could approach it in 3 ways (they get more complex on the way down) -
write a standalone webpage which accessed the oracle database and presented the data how you wanted, then embed this item in a webpage media type.
write an integration application that loads the Oracle data into a Xibo dataset, and then use the dataset in your layout
write a Xibo module which talks directly with the Oracle database
