I know this should be easy, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to get my remote data source working with templates. Can you give a quick example of how to bind a json datasource to a template (not inline)? Thanks!

I've tried all of the demos online, but none seem to work as I'd expect.

Hi Scott,

 The binding to remote data demo shows how to read data from remote service (twitter) and display that data using templates.

All the best,

Hi there,

I have a similar issue: I just dont know what I'm doing wrong...
Since it works with local data I think to format of the returned data is wrong.
Here is my datasource (js file):
var home = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport:
    {
        parameterMap: function(_options, _op)
        {
            if (_op == 'read')
            {
                return {
                    ObjectPath: '/Shops/DemoShop/',
                    ViewAction: 'JSONRestGet',
                    Attributes: 'Slogan'
                };
            }
        },
        read:
        {
            url: 'DemoShop.admin/',
            type: 'GET',
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            cache: true
        }
    },
    change: function(e) {
        var template = kendo.template($("#headerTpl").html());
        $('#header').html(kendo.render(template, this.view()));
        console.log(this.view());
    }
});

And here is how the server response looks like:
window["jQuery1710052283771103248_1346149420815"]({
   "Alias" : "DemoShop",
   "Slogan" : {
      "en" : "English Slogan",
      "de" : "Deutscher Slogan"
   },
   "Self" : "MyDemoShop"
}
);

Can anyone spot what I am missing?
Do I have to reformat that response?
The template just never gets rendered.

Thx in advance.
