Hi There, I am new to Telerik but would like to get this working. I have a JSON URL and i am trying to drill down and show all the results of the child nodes under each entry section. THough i cant seem to get this schema defined correctly. If i want to show fields from the lowest node in xml/json how do i define it. The child node examples dont make it clear. Below url is test data so feel free to use.

Thanks

Brandon

Hello Brandon,

You should configure the schema.data and schema.total in order to instruct the DataSource where to read data and total item count from.

schema: {
 data: "entry",
 total: "totalResults",
 model: {
  fields: {
   title: {type: "string" },                                                                        
  }
 }
},

Then your column configuration might looks as follows:

columns: [{
  field:"title"                                
}]

 

However there few issues with that service:

  1. It is not OData service
  2. Since the client (your page) and the service are hosted on different domains you must be using JSONP to request the service otherwise you will be restricted by CORS. You can quickly try it by running the following example and inspecting the browser console - http://dojo.telerik.com/@rusev/Ociba. 

That said and the fact that this service doesn't support JSONP requests, at least I couldn't find in their docs, you should implement a server proxy. This proxy will request the service in question based on the requests made from client through DataSource.
