Remote DB as input

Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

  • You can dynamically build the shortcode with PHP, so if you can access the remote database okay, yes, you can feed it to WP charts.

    After a quick Google, something similar to the below may do the trick to get you connected. Obviously you will need to know the structure of the DB if you wish to query it! 

    <?php

mysql_connect("mysite.com:3306", "admin", "1admin") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";

?>

    Never tried it myself mind!

    Hope this helps,

    The developer came with a plugin which allows an external DB to be used. I’m guessing such a plugin exists in the plugin sections. Just didn’t know this at the time.

    Did you find the plug-in? I would like to do this as well.

    No, it was installed by a company I hired to build me something. It is theirs, proprietary.
