Solved Creating content from json and database

Good afternoon,

This is going to sound a bit of a strange setup, I am creating a football team website, I have created a row designed to show either fixtures or scores depending on the page, when the page is called depending on whether its a development team or the first team it will either show data from an external json file which I already have that coded to display in a table, or from the database again displaying as a table.

But within wordpress I use a foreach function to display each element.

So what is the best method for creating a 3 column row on the fly on a page rather than being static?

Is it even possible with Divi?

I have been trying for 2 days to figure this out, the biggest issue I am having is being able to create a php element within a section without creating a row.

And as I understand it I can't just put divi code into a php excerpt in a plugin unless the page is setup for divi, so going around in a circle.

I hope someone can either point me in the direction or give me a straight now and then explain to the financers why they just spent £249 (not my idea by the way) on something that won't work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

I actually managed to make it work by creating a dummy page with 1 row styled how i like it. I then copied the source code, and used a function to generate the page. I then created a blank page and just called the function and voila it was dragging the data down and styled.

To generate a new 3 part row each time i used an increasing integer and just used "if(($i % 3) == 0)" to close and reopen a new row.

There was a couple of extra checks but that was the basics.

I then just included the styling section at the bottom of the function and it styled it perfectly.

I think I was stuck because I couldn't enter anything into the section without a row, but bypassing that in the builder and just using it in the function made it work.
