Creating an XML file for the data source

The Site Component Data Source uses xml files to get the components that are going to be used. You can create your own component to use as data source by following the instructions on creating a component and just skip creating the view and controller part of the content type if needed.

Here’s a sample xml snippet of a site component data source file:

<items>
    <item>
        <key>guy</key>
            <value>Guy</value>
        </item>
        <item>
            <key>gal</key>
            <value>Gal</value>
        </item>
</items>
    <file-name>segments.xml</file-name>
