DataView tpl config - why has this changed?

[shepsii]

In ST1 you could provide a template that runs on the store specified to the DataView. Now it appears that's just not possible. The docs say:

"Note The data configuration must be set for any content to be shown in the component when using this configuration."

But even if the data config is specified, the template still outputs nothing.

My use case is I'm outputting a calendar view using an html table, so need to be able to start/end a <tr> tag every 7 elements. I can't do this using itemTpl as ST2 wants every itemTpl element to be valid HTML5 in isolation.

So any idea how to get tpl working again in ST2?

For Ext.dataview.DataView, you should use the itemTpl config, not tpl.

I get that Mitchell, but in my use case of outputting a table, with a new tr every 7 items, it doesn't work because ST2 wants valid HTML out of every itemTpl instance, so for example this output from one iteration of the itemTpl for Monday's cell:

<tr>
<td>item cell</td>

doesn't work, because it's not valid (tr not closed - but it would eventually be closed on sunday's cell)

See what I mean?

DataView in ST2 is a lot different than in ST1. For instance DataView extends Container now so each row is an item whereas in ST1 it extended Component and just applied the html from the XTemplate + data to the html.

That makes porting this app from sencha touch 1 a little ugly! Nevermind. Having to listen to updates to the store and manually updating via an xtemplate using data grabbed from the store.
