Remote Dataset - Trouble configuring Remote Data Path

The data in the table should update once the task fetch remote dataset runs, I believe it runs every hour by default - you can see it and adjust on Tasks page in CMS.

You can also try Run Now option on it, to force it to run now.

:cry:
I did Run Now in Task “Fetch Remote DataSets”, but there is nothing in the table…

Hello, i have tried to make dummy data like in other thread, created same dataset column just like what it said, but still when i test data URL , it had difference result.

And one more thing, i tried to get credential username and password using $_POST, but it returns empty arrays,

Maybe i did something wrong here?

Note : I use docker for Xibo CMS 1.8.9

I have that remote dataset with .json from this topic, just run the task now and I do have the data now:

Could you see if the task definitely run? perhaps you could share the Tasks page screenshot with us.

Is the last sync on the dataSet updated?

Is that on a new dataSet or did you edit existing dataSet that had wrong configuration?

Obviously those values in my post were explicitly to that example .json in this topic, if you have completely different .json then it is possible that some adjustments need to be made.

yes, there is a problem with auth credentials at the moment, it should be fixed in 1.8.10 - guthub issue - Remote DataSets: Authentication not working · Issue #1525 · xibosignage/xibo · GitHub

OH!!! :roll_eyes:

I saw what was wrong…
My file was a .txt with a JSON text inside. I just put .json instead of .txt and it’s right.

Thank you for your help!!!

I am using test source http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users.
But there’s nothing on the Data set Table in ‘view data’ even after I have Run ‘Fetch Remote Data Set’


Please help anyone… Thanks

How did you configure your remote columns please?

Also did the fetch remote dataset task definitely run?
(you’d expect to see correct date in Last Sync column on DataSet page if the task did run)

Here’s my column configuration:

I have Run the Fetch Remote DataSet Task

Please help, Thanks.

How do you concate the ‘address’ string with the ‘suite’ string etc…?
Can that be done by Xibo DataSet…?

Since the processed looks to have correct data when you test it, I’d expect the dataSet to be populated when the fetch remote dataset task runs and if the last sync date in the row with your dataset has current date.

If it’s not, then please enable CMS auditing, let the task run, collect logs and send them to me via private message.

Os Dataset foram preenchidos corretamente

I also use get for my datasets.
At the top of your json data, I dont think I can see a data root - what have you specified as your data root?

It looks like it just goes straight into your array data. My JSON test URL results are as below :

Also at the bottom of your test JSON output, it says "Processing Result with Data Root " only - mine shows :

This all points towards a lack of a dataroot setting in my opinion…
I had to add an extra line in my Excel VBA to get that dataroot setting to output before it hits my array data so that Xibo can organise it into its columns…

Olá,
Você esta usando URL Json?

Se sim, pode me enviar para eu poder analisar melhor o problema

I think thats true, but in my case, If I specify the data root,
I get:

but without dataroot, I get:

I was at the thought that Xibo had already fetch the data,
but I couldn’t figure out why xibo does not populate the table.

Looking at your Json output, thats because ‘address’ isnt a dataroot - its contained in part of your array.
You need a line in your JSON file that goes inbetween ‘entries’ and ‘id’ which can then be declared as a Xibo dataroot in order to populate your columns correctly with all your array data. For this to work for me, I had to add an extra line in my VBA code that generates my Json file that writes a line (before it starts reading and writing from my excel data for my columns in Xibo) that simply says ‘Xibo’ (it can be anything you want as long as the dataroot matches within the Xibo dataset set up screen) and then that is my dataroot (as seen in my previous example of Json output). I did this by just adding an extra dictionary item into my VBA program and then saying write/output this dictionary item on a line before you start writing data from my excel spreadsheet.
If you need help with that, please let me know and I can give you the vba I had to use to create my dataroots (thats if youre using Excel VBA of course). I had exactly the same issue as you with my datasets until I did this.

Thanks for the reply, I think the Dataroot could be the issue. I’ll try and modify my JSON file…

Thanks again.

Im no expert but your test url output is mirroring the same symptoms as I had when I first started using datasets and Json files with no dataroot so its worth a try.
