Symphony.

Hello,

how I can create custom datasource? I have (i.e. I can choose between) multiple XML files or one SQLite database and I want to create a datasource to fetch rows / nodes filtered by page params.

So, how to start? I need to extend the datasource class and implement some methods, but what methods?

This API reference page might help you get started to understand what's going on under the hood.

Also might be worth checking out the code on http://github.com/symphonycms/symphony-2 for reference to the datasource code.

EDIT

Also if it's customising a DataSource once it's been created: John @designermonkey did something a while back to generate a DataSource from a CSV file, so maybe there are some hints to help you along there too. The code is a little dated so may not work with Symphony 2.3.1 latest release.
